Migrating systems is often slow and difficult for mature companies.
Together AI provides a five-stage strategy: discover, evaluate, adapt, decide, and deploy.
Start by defining your specific use case and workload clearly.
Use relevant benchmarks like The Open Frontier or LMArena to filter candidates.
Look beyond raw scores to check cost per task and token usage.
Test shortlisted models with real representative tasks before final selection.
Evaluate accuracy for capabilities and performance for speed and cost.
