The partnership has the capacity to deploy a cluster of 36,000+ NVIDIA GB200 NVL72 GPUs starting Q1 2025, complementing thousands of existing H100 and H200 GPUs across North America. This expansion aims to serve the growing computational demands of frontier model developers, AI solution providers, and enterprises in technology, finance, and healthcare.

This partnership will deliver sustainable AI infrastructure solutions with superior cluster performance, uptime, and scale at industry-best deployment times. With near-term data center capacity already secured across North America and Europe, Together AI and Hypertec Cloud can deploy more than 100,000 GPUs within 2025.

“We are thrilled to announce this strategic partnership with Together AI and bring together our distinct expertise to deliver next-generation high-performance AI solutions that are as efficient as they are powerful,” said Jonathan Ahdoot, President of Hypertec Cloud. “Our GPU clusters, large-scale secured data center capacity, and commitment to sustainability combined with Together AI’s expertise and model optimization capabilities ensure that our joint customers can rapidly access highly optimized large AI clusters with unmatched service levels at scale while minimizing the impact on our planet.”

Together AI brings deep expertise in AI systems research and an integrated platform that supports the entire AI lifecycle — from pre-training through fine-tuning to inference. Together GPU Clusters, powered by NVIDIA H100, H200, and soon GB200 GPUs, are uniquely optimized with the Together Kernel Collection (TKC), a suite of unique software enhancements that accelerate the largest AI workloads. Developed by a team of leading AI researchers, including Together AI’s co-founder and Chief Scientist and FlashAttention creator, Tri Dao, Together GPU Clusters deliver up to a 24% speed increase for high-frequency training operations and up to a 75% boost in FP8 inference tasks, reducing GPU hours and lowering costs. This allows customers to achieve industry-leading performance and cost-efficiency in training and inference at scale.
