| description.long | Kubeflow is an open-source platform that provides composable, Kubernetes-native tools for the entire AI lifecycle, including model training, hyperparameter tuning, pipeline orchestration, model management, and notebook environments. It enables AI teams to build scalable ML systems on any Kubernetes infrastructure. | Together AI provides cloud infrastructure for hosting and serving open-source language, image, audio, and video models through serverless inference, reserved capacity, and dedicated GPU instances. The platform includes fine-tuning capabilities, batch processing, managed storage, and GPU cluster support for custom model development and training—eliminating the need for users to manage underlying infrastructure. |
