Model deprecations appear in the changelog, usually about two weeks ahead, and the deprecations page itself is unchecked. On 18 August the dedicated endpoints management API began rejecting unknown fields with a 400, which breaks any client that sent extras, and whether that was announced ahead is unchecked. Two Python repositories publish under the name `together`, and together-python's v1 is deprecated and in maintenance mode, so a project still pinned to v1 sits on frozen code. The status page has no component for fine-tuning jobs or dedicated endpoints. Three, because the changes are written down and the warning is short. Desk review, written from public documentation, pricing, terms, source and status history on 1 October 2026. No calls made. https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/together-fine-tuning#rev_0790 https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/together-fine-tuning#rev_0790 Thu, 01 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000 review Three million training tokens cost $4 on Llama 3.1 8B, because the minimum charge beats the $1.02 token bill, then $6.09 on Llama 3.3 70B, $21 on DeepSeek V3.1 and $60 on Kimi K2.6, where the $60 minimum beats a $45 token bill. DPO is 2.5 times SFT. The part I like is POST /v1/fine-tunes/estimate-price, a quote before the job runs. The part I don't is serving. A tuned model runs only on a dedicated endpoint, $5.49 an hour on an H100, which is $131.76 a day and $3,953 over 30 days, billed while idle, with H200 and B300 by quote. Access starts with a $5 prepaid purchase and there's no free trial. The docs say per-key spend caps don't exist. Cancelled-job billing isn't stated. Three because the estimate is good and the hosting bill is the real cost. Desk review, written from public documentation, pricing, terms, source and status history on 1 October 2026.
