What changed
Together AI added three new models to its Serverless Inference Chat pricing table: PrismML Ternary Bonsai 27B at no cost ($0.00 / $0.00 per 1M tokens), Inkling priced at $1.00 input / $4.05 output per 1M tokens, and LFM2.5-8B-A1B priced at $0.03 input / $0.12 output per 1M tokens.
Why it matters
As more inference providers stack free, budget, and premium models within the same serverless catalog, buyers gain leverage to shop within a single vendor's offering rather than across vendors, pressuring the middle of the price range. Watch whether Together continues adding free-tier models as a customer-acquisition lever, and whether the $0.03/$0.12 segment becomes the new commodity floor for small open models.
In context
The raw price list understates what is actually happening: a $0.03/$0.12 model sitting next to a fully free model and a $1.00/$4.05 model shows serverless inference marketplaces increasingly using price segmentation, not just tier structure, to steer usage. Free models absorb experimentation traffic while premium per-token pricing captures willingness-to-pay from production workloads, continuing the broader inference-market pattern of competing on a per-model basis rather than a single platform-wide rate card.
