The home page states 99.5% uptime with no supporting document\n\n### Together AI Inference (B)\n\nGood for: Together AI Inference serves open models through an OpenAI-compatible API, with serverless requests, batch processing, dedicated model deployments and provisioned throughput.\n\nAhead on:\n- Reliability, 60 against 28\n- Schema \u0026 documentation, 93 against 62\n- Agent ergonomics, 85 against 72\n- Security \u0026 auth, 70 against 65\n- Transparency \u0026 trust, 73 against 56\n\nWatch for: A $15 credit purchase is required before platform access; no free trial\n\n\n## Score by category\n\n| Category | Weight | Novita AI | Together AI Inference | Edge |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Reliability | 16% (20 this run) | 28 | 60 | Together AI Inference +32 |\n| Performance | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Schema \u0026 documentation | 13% (16.2 this run) | 62 | 93 | Together AI Inference +31 |\n| Agent ergonomics | 13% (16.2 this run) | 72 | 85 | Together AI Inference +13 |\n| Security \u0026 auth | 14% (17.5 this run) | 65 | 70 | Together AI Inference +5 |\n| Payments \u0026 pricing | 10% (12.5 this run) | 35 | 20 | Novita AI +15 |\n| Task success | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Maintenance \u0026 community | 7% (8.8 this run) | 62 | 65 | Together AI Inference +3 |\n| Transparency \u0026 trust | 7% (8.8 this run) | 56 | 73 | Together AI Inference +17 |\n| Negative events | ≤15 | 0 | 0 | |\n| **Total** | | **53.5 · D** | **67.8 · B** | |\n\n## Facts side by side\n\n| Fact | Novita AI | Together AI Inference |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Kind | Model API | HTTP API |\n| Vendor | Novita AI | Together Computer, Inc. |\n| Hosted endpoint | `https://api.novita.ai/openai` | `https://api.together.ai/v1` |\n| Transports | HTTP | HTTP |\n| Auth | API key | API key |\n| Pricing | Pay per use | Paid |\n| x402 | no | no |\n| Licence | Proprietary service under the Novita AI Terms of Service.

No status page, SLA or security.txt was found, the per-model rate limit figures are drawn by script, and both vendor SDK repositories are archived while the docs still point to them.\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### Novita AI\n\n1. Set the OpenAI client base URL to `https://api.novita.ai/openai` and send the key as `Authorization: Bearer`. Keys start with `sk_`\n2. Do not close a connection to stop generation. A request that reached the model is billed in full under status 499, so cap output with `max_tokens`\n3. On 429, check whether the code is `RATE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED` or `TOKEN_LIMIT_EXCEEDED` and back off exponentially. No `Retry-After` header is documented\n4. Read the changelog for retirement notices before pinning a model id. One retirement in October 2026 came with 11 days' notice\n5. Ask the account owner for a key with an expiry, a model access policy and an IP allowlist. Keys are created and deleted only in the console\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, Novita AI or Together AI Inference?\n\nTogether AI Inference scores 67.8 (B) on agent readiness against Novita AI's 53.5 (D), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories. Novita AI leads on payments \u0026 pricing.\n\n### Do Novita AI and Together AI Inference need an API key?\n\nBoth need an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call Novita AI and Together AI Inference without installing anything?\n\nYes. Novita AI has a hosted endpoint at https://api.novita.ai/openai 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/novita-ai-vs-together-inference.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/novita-ai-vs-together-inference.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"novita-ai\", \"b\": \"together-inference\"}`.
