Together AI delivers fast shared-cloud inference on open-source models. CaseDesk gives your team a dedicated AI endpoint in your chosen region — no shared GPU, data stays in your region, flat subscription pricing.
Together AI is a managed inference platform specialising in fast, high-throughput serving of open-source language models. It offers OpenAI-compatible APIs, a large model catalogue including Llama, Qwen, Mistral and DeepSeek, and a fine-tuning service — all running on Together AI's shared cloud infrastructure.
Together AI is well-suited for developers and teams who want fast inference on open-source models without managing infrastructure, and whose data-handling policies permit using a third-party shared cloud API.
CaseDesk deploys open-source models to a dedicated managed endpoint in your chosen region — UK, EU, or US. Your data stays in that region, you get OpenAI, Anthropic, and Gemini-compatible APIs, and CaseDesk manages all infrastructure. No shared GPU, flat subscription pricing. CaseDesk also includes an OKF knowledge layer — your organisation's documentation and approved policies are built into every endpoint, available to the model at query time. Together AI has no equivalent.

Together AI runs every model on its shared GPU infrastructure. The platform is fast for general use, but every customer's queries run on the same hardware. CaseDesk gives each team a dedicated endpoint — no other customer's traffic on your GPU. For engineering teams handling code reviews, internal documents, or regulated data, a dedicated endpoint matters.
Together AI charges per million tokens. For low-volume or experimental use, per-token billing is convenient. For a team using AI throughout the working day — queries, document processing, API integrations — per-token costs compound quickly. CaseDesk's flat subscription is predictable month to month.
Every prompt sent through Together AI is processed on Together AI's shared cloud with no guaranteed UK or EU residency. CaseDesk deploys to UK, EU, or US and your data never leaves your chosen region. CaseDesk's control plane never handles inference traffic.
Together AI's OpenAI-compatible API means application code is portable. But the model catalogue and rate-limit tiers are Together AI-specific. CaseDesk exposes standard OpenAI, Anthropic, and Gemini-compatible endpoints on a dedicated endpoint — no dependency on Together AI's model catalogue or infrastructure.
Choose Together AI if you want fast zero-infrastructure inference on popular open-source models, your data-handling policies permit a shared third-party cloud API, and your volume is low enough that per-token pricing is convenient.
Choose CaseDesk if your team needs UK or EU data residency, a dedicated GPU endpoint, Anthropic or Gemini-compatible APIs, or flat predictable pricing for continuous team usage.
Answer five questions. We match your team to the right model tier, region, and compliance profile — and deploy it for you.
