Four model shutdown dates between 2026-07-17 and 2026-09-21, with no stated minimum notice.\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### GroqCloud\n\n1. Call `/models` at start-up. Four model ids stopped working between July and September\n2. Read `retry-after` on a 429 and the `x-ratelimit-remaining-tokens` header before the next call\n3. Free plan allows 8,000 tokens a minute on gpt-oss, so keep prompts small or batch them\n4. Don't build on Qwen 3.8 27B. It's a preview and previews can go at short notice\n5. Treat a 498 as Flex capacity and retry later; server errors aren't billed\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, GroqCloud or Together AI Inference?\n\nGroqCloud scores 74.5 (BB) on agent readiness against Together AI Inference's 67.8 (B), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories. Together AI Inference leads on schema \u0026 documentation and agent ergonomics.\n\n### Do GroqCloud and Together AI Inference need an API key?\n\nBoth need an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call GroqCloud and Together AI Inference without installing anything?\n\nYes. GroqCloud has a hosted endpoint at https://api.groq.com/openai/v1 and Together AI Inference at https://api.together.ai/v1.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/groq-vs-together-inference.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/groq-vs-together-inference.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"groq\", \"b\": \"together-inference\"}`.
