Case Study: The Washington Post achieves 2-second AI responses with Together AI

The Washington Post delivers 2-second AI responses with Together AI

The Washington Post needed a reliable and independent AI inference solution to power its public-facing journalism product, "Ask The Post AI." Their critical requirements included enterprise-grade performance for thousands of daily queries, sub-10-second response times, and complete ownership of their models to avoid vendor lock-in with proprietary APIs. They turned to Together AI's model inference platform to meet these needs.

Together AI provided a solution using dedicated endpoints for hosting the Post's own Llama and Mistral models, combined with hybrid serverless capacity. This deployment allowed for full model control and predictable fixed monthly pricing. As a result, The Washington Post achieved consistent 2-second response times, processes 1.79 billion input tokens monthly, and enjoys enterprise-grade reliability for its AI journalism platform.
