Our take
Pick Groq if developers who will copy a model ID and a $/1M row from the Supported Models table. Pick Together AI if developers who want one HTTP call to Llama/Qwen/DeepSeek-class models and will read the per-model row. Skip Together AI if people who want a local engine (vLLM, Ollama) or a single Flux playground with a per-image dollar (Replicate).
