Together AI launches Provisioned Throughput—reserved inference slots for open models (MiniMax M3, GLM-5.2) at $0.05/PTU/min with 99% uptime SLA, replacing serverless best-effort for production workloads.
Summary
Eliminates the false choice between serverless unpredictability and dedicated GPU complexity. Developers running production agents on open models now get capacity guarantees and token-based cost predictability without infrastructure management—critical for multi-model systems at scale.

Implementation verdict
Replaces serverless for production; replaces dedicated inference for teams avoiding GPU math. Requires one-month minimum commitment and currently supports two models. Worth evaluating now if you're migrating proprietary API traffic to open models and need SLA guarantees; pricing calculator provided but actual PTU burn depends on your traffic shape (input/cache/output ratio).
