Together AI alternative
Open-source models plus the closed frontier — at half price.
Together AI is fast at open-source LLMs (Llama, Mistral, DeepSeek). Hypereal carries the same open models plus the closed frontier — Claude, GPT, Gemini at 50% off — and image, video, and audio in the same OpenAI-compatible API. Crypto and ¥ billing, no US-only region locks.

- Python & Node.js SDK available
# Drop-in: same OpenAI SDK, swap base_url and pick any model
from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI(
api_key="hyp-...",
base_url="https://api.hypereal.cloud/v1",
)
# Open-source — same models as Together AI
resp = client.chat.completions.create(
model="deepseek-v4",
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Explain transformers in 2 sentences."}],
)
# Closed frontier — not on Together AI
resp = client.chat.completions.create(
model="claude-opus-4-7",
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Refactor this 500-line module."}],
)Why vs Together AI
Closed frontier at 50% off
Claude Opus 4.7, GPT-5.5, Gemini 3.1 Pro — the closed-source models Together AI doesn’t carry, all below official price.
Image, video, audio in one API
Veo 3.1, Seedance 2.0, Kling 3.0, GPT Image, FLUX, voice cloning — same key, same SDK. Together AI is text-only.
Built for non-US developers
Crypto and ¥ billing, no US-only region restrictions, no account-tier gates. Use from China, EU, LATAM, anywhere.
Which credits get consumed?
One API key works for both. Routing is decided by the model you call, not by the key.
Claude, GPT, and Gemini coding models spend the same Hypereal Credits wallet. Your selected top-up amount can reduce charges on these coding models.
Video, image, audio, 3D, GPU, training, and other model APIs use the prices shown on their product pages.
Frequently asked questions
Does Hypereal have the same open-source models as Together AI?
Yes — DeepSeek V4 / V4 Pro, Llama 4, Mistral, Qwen and the popular open-source LLMs are all on Hypereal at the same or lower price. The difference is we add the closed frontier (Claude, GPT, Gemini) and full multimodal in the same API.
Why would I switch from Together AI?
Three reasons: (1) you need a closed-frontier model Together doesn’t carry — Claude Opus, GPT-5.5, Gemini 3.1 Pro below official pricing; (2) you want image / video / audio in the same API key; (3) you’re outside the US and need crypto, ¥, or a non-US-locked region.
Is the API really OpenAI-compatible? Same code as Together?
Yes. Both Hypereal and Together AI implement the OpenAI chat-completions schema. Switch is one line — change base_url to https://api.hypereal.cloud/v1 and your existing OpenAI SDK code keeps working.
How do you compare on raw open-source LLM speed?
Together AI is excellent at open-source inference latency. Hypereal is competitive on the same models and adds the option to fall back or upgrade to a closed frontier model from the same API. Pick by use case, not by provider.
How does billing work?
Pay per token / per request using credits. 100 credits = $1. Buy from $10, card or crypto, no subscription, no monthly reset.
