A per-model winner combines blended price and estimated 500-token response time with equal proportional weight. Ties and rows missing either measurement receive no badge. Comparison data calculated . Values use one deterministic route per provider and model; missing measurements remain visible as N/a.

SambaNova vs Together analysis

How SambaNova and Together compare for AI inference

SambaNova and Together share 4 indexed text models, including Gemma 4 31B, MiniMax M2.7, gpt-oss-120b, Llama 3.3 70B Instruct. SambaNova has the stronger typical response-time result on the directly measured set.

Same-model speed evidence

4 shared models currently have complete response-start and output-speed measurements on both providers. The speed comparison uses per-model ratios before taking the median, so naturally faster model catalogs do not improve the result.

Token pricing on one workload

4 shared models have complete input and output prices on both providers. Prices use the same 1,000-input/500-output-token mix and are normalized to one million tokens for readability.
