This partnership demonstrates a critical shift in enterprise AI infrastructure, moving open models from experimental deployments to production-scale reliability via dedicated B300 GPU clusters. By combining NVIDIA's high-throughput silicon with IBM's mission-critical cloud operations, the setup addresses key enterprise needs for sovereign data and cost efficiency while scaling token throughput. This collaboration validates the viability of running frontier-level performance on open-source stacks within secure, hardened environments.
Expanding our enterprise inference capacity with IBM Cloud and NVIDIA

Enterprises can now run open models at production scale on a dedicated B300 inference cluster, built by Together AI, IBM Cloud, and NVIDIA
We’re excited to share that Together AI is working with IBM and NVIDIA to scale enterprise-grade AI inference, starting with a large cluster of NVIDIA B300 GPUs on IBM Cloud backed by NVIDIA Spectrum-X Ethernet networking. It's the first dedicated, large-scale inference cluster of its kind on IBM Cloud, and we're the first customer running on it.
The infrastructure: A dedicated NVIDIA B300 GPU cluster, purpose-built for inference, running on IBM Cloud.
The model: We operate the inference layer, IBM provides the cloud, NVIDIA delivers the silicon and networking.
We started Together AI because we believe the future of AI shouldn't be owned by a handful of closed labs. That bet is paying off faster than even we expected: Hundreds of trillions of tokens served per month to over a million developers, and demand keeps climbing.
Enterprises and AI-native companies choose open models for two simple reasons: their sovereign data stays theirs and they get frontier-level performance at a fraction of closed-model cost. The bigger the usage, the better that math looks.
NVIDIA brings the silicon — B300 GPUs and Spectrum-X Ethernet networking engineered for high-throughput inference.
IBM brings decades of running mission-critical infrastructure for the world's largest enterprises.
Together AI brings the inference platform — the fastest, most efficient way to run open models in production, hardened by some of the most demanding AI workloads on the planet.
Put those together and the result is simple: enterprise-grade inference at massive scale – more production grade tokens, with the reliability, security and guardrails enterprises have come to expect.
Open-source AI has to run everywhere, at scale, as fast and reliably as anything closed. We have spent the last few years making sure it can and this collaboration is a big step toward exactly that.
