Reviewer scorecard
“The standard for observability instrumentation. Auto-instrument once, send to any backend — Datadog, Grafana, Honeycomb.”
“Cheapest way to run Llama and Mistral models in production. The inference speed is competitive with major providers. OpenAI-compatible API makes switching easy.”
“Vendor-agnostic instrumentation prevents lock-in. The ecosystem is mature enough for production.”
“The pricing is genuinely good and reliability has improved. The fine-tuning workflow is straightforward. A solid choice for open-source model deployment.”
“OpenTelemetry will be to observability what Kubernetes is to orchestration — the universal standard.”
“Together is betting that the future is open-source models. As Llama and Mistral improve, inference providers like Together become the AWS of AI.”
