Does Together.AI have a free tier?
None: free trials were retired in July 2025, and using the platform — including getting an API key — requires the $5 minimum credit purchase first.
Together.AI: get an API key and write fiction with it on your phone
One of the fullest open-model rosters among first-tier inference clouds: 200+ hosted open models (the Llama, DeepSeek, Qwen, and Kimi lines), with rate limits that scale up alongside sustained traffic — the workhorse pick for rotating open flagships without running GPUs. This page is the BYOK quick answer for Together.AI: key steps, direct console and pricing links, and the app-side notes that matter. Verified 2026-07-18.
Two links up front: get your key at the official console and check rates on the official pricing page. Prices and free quotas move; the official pages are authoritative.
What does it power inside Foreverse?
The factory preset declares 1 modality flag for Together.AI. The models actually available come from the live catalog fetched in-app — catalogs move fast, and the flag only means the protocol wiring is ready.

How do I get a Together.AI API key?
- Sign up at api.together.ai (email, Google, or GitHub).
- Add at least $5 under Billing first — free trials ended in July 2025, and API keys are withheld until you've purchased credits.
- Go to Settings → API Keys → Create key and copy it; API access suspends at zero balance, so consider auto-recharge.
Key in hand: three steps to connect
- Open the app's Settings → AI models & services and find Together.AI in the list (one of 62 presets, with logo and search).
- Paste the key and tap the connectivity test — it fires one real request to verify key and network, and pulls back the model list while it's at it.
- Enable the models you want, then set per-modality defaults (text, image, speech, and video each get their own); continuation, chat, and listening route through them from then on.
The one universal host pitfall: the API host must include its full version prefix (this provider's exact form is in the notes below) — the app never appends /v1 for you.
Together.AI-specific notes
The preset host is https://api.together.xyz/v1 — the API lives on .xyz while the console sits at api.together.ai, so don't type the host as .ai. Model IDs carry an org prefix (like deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4). Fully prepaid: requests are refused at zero balance.
FAQ
Where does the key live once I paste it into the app?
It's stored on your device only, under system-level encryption — never uploaded or synced to any Foreverse server. Requests go straight from your phone to the provider's official endpoint with zero markup. To revoke access, delete the key in the provider's console.
