Together AI raises $800 million at $8.3 billion valuation

July 1 (Reuters) - Together ‌AI on Wednesday ​said ​it has raised $800 million in a funding round led by Aramco Ventures, more than doubling ‌the artificial intelligence startup's valuation to $8.3 billion.

Founded in ⁠2022, the startup's platform lets companies train and run AI workloads ‌on open models such as ‌DeepSeek, MiniMax and Kimi at lower costs than closed systems.

• Vista Equity Partners, General Catalyst, Emergence Capital, ​Nvidia, Salesforce Ventures, March Capital, Pegatron and SentinelOne's S Ventures participated in the Series C round.

• Together AI ⁠was valued at $3.3 billion in a February 2025 funding round led by ​General Catalyst, which had more than doubled its earlier $1.25 billion valuation from March 2024.

• The company ​said it would use the ‌Series C funding to widen its offerings as it expands into a provider of inference, ⁠which is the process of running trained AI models.

• "The future of AI won't be owned by a few companies. It ⁠will be built by millions of developers and businesses, and open-source ​models are making that possible,” Together AI CEO Vipul Ved Prakash said.

• The AI startup's annual bookings crossed $1.15 billion last quarter on ‌the back of rising open-source model usage, the company said. It counts firms such ‌as Cursor, Cognition and Decagon among its customers.

• Together AI ⁠expects its computing capacity ‌and infrastructure to ​expand roughly 50-fold over the next five years.
