Reviewer scorecard
“Cheapest way to run Llama and Mistral models in production. The inference speed is competitive with major providers. OpenAI-compatible API makes switching easy.”
“Docker builds that take 10 minutes in CI complete in 30 seconds on Depot. The speed improvement is dramatic.”
“The pricing is genuinely good and reliability has improved. The fine-tuning workflow is straightforward. A solid choice for open-source model deployment.”
“If Docker builds are your CI bottleneck, Depot eliminates it. Drop-in replacement with massive time savings.”
“Together is betting that the future is open-source models. As Llama and Mistral improve, inference providers like Together become the AWS of AI.”
“Remote build infrastructure will become standard. Local or CI builds on underpowered machines make no sense.”
