Together AI Install & Auth

Overview

Together AI provides an OpenAI-compatible API for open-source model inference and fine-tuning. Base URL: https://api.together.xyz/v1. Works with the official together Python SDK or any OpenAI-compatible client.

Prerequisites

• Together AI account at api.together.xyz
• API key from Settings > API Keys
• Python 3.8+ or Node.js 18+

Instructions

Step 1: Install SDK

# Python (official)
pip install together

# Node.js (use OpenAI SDK with custom base URL)
npm install openai

Step 2: Configure API Key

# .env
TOGETHER_API_KEY=your-api-key-here

Step 3: Verify Connection (Python)

from together import Together

client = Together(api_key=os.environ["TOGETHER_API_KEY"])
response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="meta-llama/Llama-3.3-70B-Instruct-Turbo",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Say hello"}],
    max_tokens=10,
)
print(f"Connected! Response: {response.choices[0].message.content}")

Step 4: Verify with OpenAI Client (Node.js)

import OpenAI from 'openai';

const client = new OpenAI({
  apiKey: process.env.TOGETHER_API_KEY,
  baseURL: 'https://api.together.xyz/v1',
});

const response = await client...({
  : ,
  : [{ : , :  }],
  : ,
});
.();
