Reviewer scorecard
“The dashboard ecosystem is unmatched. Prometheus + Grafana is the standard stack for infrastructure monitoring.”
“Cheapest way to run Llama and Mistral models in production. The inference speed is competitive with major providers. OpenAI-compatible API makes switching easy.”
“Open source keeps you honest on pricing. Grafana Cloud is competitive with Datadog at a fraction of the cost.”
“The pricing is genuinely good and reliability has improved. The fine-tuning workflow is straightforward. A solid choice for open-source model deployment.”
“The LGTM stack (Loki, Grafana, Tempo, Mimir) is a credible open-source alternative to the entire Datadog suite.”
“Together is betting that the future is open-source models. As Llama and Mistral improve, inference providers like Together become the AWS of AI.”
