New Consumer App ‘Together Chat’ Offers Access to DeepSeek R1 and More
Earlier this week, California-based Together.ai introduced Together Chat, a consumer AI platform designed to provide seamless access to leading open-source models. The platform enables users to brainstorm, draft code, conduct web research, generate images and explore creative writing with ease. The platform integrates multiple AI models tailored for various tasks. There’s DeepSeek R1 for complex queries with web access, Llama 3.3 70B and Qwen 2.5 72B for intermediate inquiries, Qwen Coder 32B for coding assistance and Flux Schnell for image generation. Notably, DeepSeek R1 enhances reasoning capabilities, making it ideal for sophisticated problem-solving. With real-time web browsing, the platform summarises and cites sources as needed. Developers can leverage Qwen Coder 32B for code generation and debugging, while smaller models like Llama 3.1 8B offer quick responses. Built as a Progressive Web App, Together Chat operates as a native mobile app for instant AI-powered assistance. Users receive 10 daily credits for DeepSeek R1 and 50 for other models, with credits renewing each day. Meanwhile, in a post on X, open-source web scraper Firecrawl has confirmed that Together Chat is backed by it. This launch follows Together AI’s recent $305 million Series B funding, led by General Catalyst and co-led by Prosperity7, with participation from investors including Salesforce Ventures, NVIDIA, and Kleiner Perkins. Back in 2023, the company was in the spotlight for securing a $102.5 million Series A investment from NVIDIA, Kleiner Perkins and Emergence Capital.
The platform provides free access to top open-source models.
