Starting Price	Pay-as-you-go	Usage-based, ~$0.10–$3+ per 1M tokens
Key Features	• Drop-in proxy that captures agent traces from OpenAI/Anthropic-compatible APIs • Supervised fine-tuning on captured production data with managed eval splits • Reinforcement learning with GRPO and PPO on multi-step environments	• Serverless inference for hundreds of open-source models (Llama, Qwen, DeepSeek, Mistral, FLUX, Whisper) • OpenAI-compatible chat, completions, embeddings, image, and audio APIs • Transparent per-token pricing listed on each model page

✓Cuts inference cost dramatically on stable, high-volume agent workflows without rewriting application code
✓RL support is genuine and works on real tool-using environments, not just classification tasks
✓Drop-in proxy means you can start collecting training data with one config change
✓Managed inference removes the operational burden of running vLLM or TGI yourself

✗Economics only pencil out above meaningful production traffic; low-volume use cases won't recover training cost
✗Trusting an external proxy with prompts and outputs is a non-starter for some regulated workloads
✗Fine-tuned models trail frontier models when the task drifts or expands beyond captured traces

✓Drop-in OpenAI base-URL swap means zero code change to migrate
✓Among the cheapest hosted prices for popular open models (e.g. ~$0.10/M input on Llama 4 Maverick)
✓LoRA hosting is unusual — most rivals make you self-deploy adapters or use Modal-style boxes

✗Latency on serverless multi-tenant can spike under load — Groq is faster for chat UX, dedicated endpoints cost more
✗Smaller community and fewer enterprise features than Together AI for very large deployments
✗Model catalog churns; popular fine-tunes can be deprecated with limited notice — verify availability before pinning a model in production
