Strengths & Best For

SKT (Haein Cluster)

SK Telecom's Haein Cluster is a large-scale H100 GPU cluster in South Korea, purpose-built for Korean enterprise AI training and research institution workloads at hyperscale. Telco-grade reliability and Korean data residency make it the premier domestic GPU cloud option for South Korean enterprises with strict data sovereignty requirements. A strong choice for Korean organizations running large-scale LLM training and distributed AI workloads that need to keep data within South Korea.

Strengths
  • Large-scale Korean cluster
  • Telco-grade reliability
  • Korean enterprise focus
Weaknesses
  • Primarily South Korea focused — very limited global regions
  • Limited English documentation and support
  • Small GPU catalog vs global providers

Together AI

Together AI is a full-stack AI platform combining a high-throughput inference API (200+ open-source models), dedicated GPU clusters (H100 SXM, A100), and a managed fine-tuning service. Together MoE optimization cuts costs on large mixture-of-experts models. Function calling and JSON mode across all major models. Fine-tuning: LoRA and full fine-tune for Llama, Mistral, and Qwen. GPU cloud: H100 SXM and A100 clusters for large-scale training. Check api.together.ai/models for current per-token rates.

Strengths
  • 200+ open-source models — wide inference API catalog
  • Llama 4 Scout — competitive frontier-open pricing
  • Together MoE optimization reduces cost on large MoE models
  • Managed fine-tuning: LoRA and full fine-tune for Llama, Mistral, Qwen
  • Function calling and JSON mode across all major models
  • GPU cloud + inference API from one vendor
Weaknesses
  • GPU cloud side less polished than pure-play providers like CoreWeave
  • Inference API latency trails Fireworks and Cerebras on speed benchmarks
  • Enterprise SLAs require custom contracts — not self-serve
Best For
Teams wanting inference API + GPU training from one vendorFine-tuning Llama, Mistral, or Qwen at scaleCost-conscious teams replacing OpenAI with open-source modelsResearchers needing broad model access without self-hosting
