Together hikes Qwen3.7-Max prices up to 92%, drops LFM2.5-8B again

WHY IT MATTERS

For teams routing workloads through Together's serverless inference, the Qwen3.7-Max jump is a reminder that flagship-model pricing on aggregator platforms can move sharply with no advance notice - a 60-92% swing changes the unit economics of anything built on that model. Watch whether Together's next catalog update, likely within its roughly 8-day average cadence, brings another increase on a different flagship model or whether this settles as a one-off Qwen3.7-Max repricing.

BY THE NUMBERS

• Qwen3.7-Max cached input price up 92% ($0.13 -> $0.25 per 1M tokens)
• 10th price-increase move tracked for Together since Dec 29, 2025
• 17 pricing changes in the last 90 days, ~1 every 8 days
• LFM2.5-8B-A1B pulled from the catalog for at least the third time since Jul 20

THEIR RATIONALE

Together doesn't publish reasoning alongside these catalog updates, but the timing fits its usual cadence rather than a one-off correction. This is the company's 10th price-increase move tracked in the index and its second in six weeks, following the Aug 3 GPU rate hike, and it lands just 10 days after its last catalog change (Qwen3.8 Flash added Sep 1). At roughly one change every 8 days, Together treats its price sheet as a live surface tied to model costs and catalog churn rather than a rate card revisited occasionally.

THE SIGNAL

The Qwen3.7-Max increase is steep relative to Together's own history: a 60% hike on input/output and a 92% jump on cached input outpaces its other 2026 increases, including the 37-40% GLM-5.1 hike in April. LFM2.5-8B-A1B's removal is also notable on its own terms - the model has now cycled in and out of the Serverless Inference catalog at least three times since it was first added July 20, discontinued the next day, removed again July 27, and pulled once more here. Price increases remain a minority move across the index - 3.9% of the 5,452 changes tracked in the last 180 days, spread across 172 companies - and Together is already one of the most frequent movers in that bucket.

IN CONTEXT

Together's price sheet rarely sits still: this is its 31st tracked change since Together first appeared in the index on Dec 29, 2025, and its second price increase in six weeks after the Aug 3 GPU rate hike, arriving just ten days after Qwen3.8 Flash was added on Sep 1. The 60-92% jump on Qwen3.7-Max is steeper than Together's other 2026 increases, including the 37-40% GLM-5.1 hike in April. Price increases are still a minority move industry-wide — 211 of 5,452 tracked changes in the last 180 days, versus far more common usage-billing shifts like Replit's Sep 11 Starter plan cut or Mintlify's credit-cost reveal. LFM2.5-8B-A1B's exit, meanwhile, continues a pattern of the model cycling in and out of the catalog since it was added Jul 20.
