Our take
Pick Cohere if platform teams who need a private-ish LLM API and will fill the Production-key form. Pick Together AI if developers who want one HTTP call to Llama/Qwen/DeepSeek-class models and will read the per-model row. Skip Cohere if consumers who want a $20 chat app (ChatGPT, Mistral AI). Skip Together AI if people who want a local engine (vLLM, Ollama) or a single Flux playground with a per-image dollar
