Together AI — AI supply-chain exposure
The model reads Together AI primarily as a producer in Models. Its strongest structural lever is Inference serving (system bottleneck #4), which it produces or supplies — genuine pricing power. Its largest modeled sensitivity is a shock at Inference serving (constraint β 32).

Together AI is an AI-native cloud. It rents GPU cluster capacity for training and, above all, serves open-weight models as inference — running open frontier models behind an API so companies do not have to operate their own hardware. It sits in the infrastructure layer, between the raw accelerators and the applications that call them, aggregating scattered demand into utilisation on its clusters.
Its edge is engineering the serving stack so a given model runs faster and cheaper per token than a naive deployment — kernel-level optimisation, batching, and the economics of open models versus closed APIs. That makes cost per token its real product. The model places Together in the middle of the chain because it converts open-model momentum into GPU demand, leaving it exposed on both sides: to accelerator supply upstream, and to the ongoing price war in inference downstream.
