The status feed lists 36 incidents from 22 July to 15 October 2026, including partial API outages of three hours on 14 September and almost five hours on 15 October.\n\n**Together AI Inference.** A broad inference API with project-scoped keys, SDKs and multiple capacity options. Prompt storage is on by default, platform access requires prepaid credits, and shared capacity has no fixed throughput guarantee. Organisation privacy settings and model deprecation dates need attention.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### DeepSeek API\n\n1. Send only data you'd be happy to publish\n2. Schedule bulk work off-peak for half price. Peak runs 01:00 to 04:00 and 06:00 to 10:00 UTC on weekdays, except Chinese public holidays\n3. Set `max_tokens` yourself. It defaults to 8K without thinking and 64K with it, against a 384K ceiling\n4. For schema-checked tool arguments use base URL `https://api.deepseek.com/beta`, set `strict: true`, mark every property required and set `additionalProperties: false`\n5. Keep a fallback provider and re-run evals after model changes. 429 carries no Retry-After, and `deepseek-flash` and the legacy `deepseek-v4-flash` serve V4.1-Flash-1017 since 17 October 2026\n\n### Together AI Inference\n\n1. Create a project-scoped key and set TOGETHER_API_KEY. Avoid deprecated legacy keys.\n2. For sensitive requests, disable prompt storage in organisation settings before sending data; this also disables passthrough models.\n3. Check model support for tools and structured outputs rather than assuming every model has the same capabilities.\n4. Back off on 429 and 503 responses. Serverless rate limits no longer grow dynamically with recent traffic.\n5. Check the deprecation schedule before choosing a model; Llama 3.3 70B Turbo is scheduled to leave serverless on 22 October 2026.\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, DeepSeek API or Together AI Inference?\n\nTogether AI Inference scores 67.8 (B) on agent readiness against DeepSeek API's 45.8 (E), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories.\n\n### Do DeepSeek API and Together AI Inference need an API key?\n\nBoth need an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call DeepSeek API and Together AI Inference without installing anything?\n\nYes.
