What happened
Between the Oct 5, 2026 and Oct 12, 2026 captures of Together AI's pricing page, Pulse recorded 3 changes: Qwen3.8 Flash serverless price up from $0.09 input/$0.28 output to $0.15/$0.47 per 1M tokens; Kimi K3 PROMO pricing added: $2.70 input/$13.50 output (from $3.00/$15.00) per 1M tokens, valid until 10/11/2026; GPU Clusters Reserved shortest commitment term changed from 7-30 days to 3-30 days; prices unchanged. Pulse files it as a pricing change (feature change, price increase, discount added) with an upward direction. Pulse's latest capture (Nov 2, 2026) lists Post-Training at $9 per GPU-hour (B200, promo), Serverless Inference at $0.14 per 1M input tokens, Dedicated Inference at $5.49 per GPU-hour (H100, on-demand) + $8.99 per GPU-hour (B200, on-demand), GPU Clusters (On-demand) at $3.99 per hour (H100) and Fine-Tuning at $0.34 per 1M tokens (LoRA SFT, cheapest models) + $0.38 per 1M tokens (Full SFT, cheapest models).
It lands 4 days after Together AI's previous change, "Together AI cuts GPU Cluster minimum reservation from 7 days to 3, prices hold" (Oct 8, 2026).
