Our take
Pick Cerebras if developers who will burn a $5 credit to measure tokens/sec, then pay per 1M. Pick Together AI if developers who want one HTTP call to Llama/Qwen/DeepSeek-class models and will read the per-model row. Skip Cerebras if people who want a local runtime (Ollama) or a multi-vendor router. Skip Together AI if people who want a local engine (vLLM, Ollama) or a single Flux playground with a per-image dollar
