Together AI embraces the competition with $240M IBM Cloud deal
Deal to fund 'large' deployment of Nvidia's last-gen HGX B300 systems launching in Q1 2027
Together AI has entered into a $240 million deal to run its open weights inference platform on Nvidia GPUs housed in IBM Cloud. The decision to partner with IBM and Nvidia was made due to their innovative product roadmaps and ability to deliver GPU capacity at the pace required for rapid AI scaling, along with the lowest token cost.
IBM's statement highlights Together AI's selection, stating that they chose IBM with Nvidia for their capacity needs at the right time. Together AI is a leading player in the AI inference ecosystem, offering users the ability to easily utilize hardware for applications like inference, fine-tuning, and training through an OpenAI-compatible API endpoint.
The company has recently begun deploying GPU compute in datacenters in Maryland, Memphis, and Sweden, with more services set to be deployed in Vector Core Compute's new AI colocation facility. The HGX B300 platform, announced in early 2025, is being used for inference applications and will be available in the first quarter of 2027.
