Together AI launches Open Frontier benchmark portal
The Open Frontier is an interactive model evaluation platform built by Together AI and powered by Artificial Analysis benchmark data to help developers determine the best open-weight LLM for their needs. Benchmarking over 70 models across tasks like coding, agents, and vision, the tool pairs domain-specific intelligence scores with real-world run costs and an ROI calculator to compare open models against closed frontier APIs.
Aggregate benchmark leaderboards are no longer enough for production engineering; practical AI adoption now hinges on domain-specific capability-to-cost ratios where open-weight models frequently offer superior unit economics.
- –Domain-driven evaluation: Breaking out models by specific capabilities—like agentic tool use, long context, and coding—prevents teams from overpaying for frontier closed models when focused open alternatives achieve parity.
- –Transparent migration economics: Quantifying metrics like index points per $100 and task-level pricing gives engineering leaders the hard financial data needed to justify migrating off closed APIs.
- –Direct path to deployment: Coupling objective benchmarking from Artificial Analysis with Together AI inference endpoints removes friction between model discovery and production API integration.
