together
The official Python library for the together API
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes. The package is actively maintained (release 2 days old), has no known vulnerabilities, low install friction, and provides a well-typed, production-ready interface to the Together API. The permissive Apache-2.0 license and support for modern Python versions (3.10+) make it suitable for most projects. Install it if you need to call the Together API from Python; the synchronous and asynchronous clients cover both simple and high-concurrency scenarios.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires a valid TOGETHER_API_KEY environment variable or explicit api_key parameter to authenticate with the Together service.
- Low friction installation with a pure Python wheel.
- Active maintenance with a release 2 days old.

What it is and what it does
Together is the official Python SDK for accessing the Together API, a service that provides inference endpoints for language models and other AI services. It wraps the REST API with type-safe Python clients (both sync and async) generated by Stainless, handling authentication, request serialization, and response parsing automatically. The library supports chat completions, streaming responses via Server-Sent Events, and realtime audio transcription with automatic reconnection and speech buffering.
The package is designed for developers integrating language model inference into Python applications. It provides both a synchronous `Together` client for simple scripts and an `AsyncTogether` client for high-concurrency workloads. Optional extras like `aiohttp` backend and `realtime` transcription support allow customization for specific use cases. All request and response types are defined as TypedDicts with full type hints, enabling IDE autocomplete and static type checking.
Use it for
- Build a chatbot or conversational AI application using the chat completions API with streaming support for real-time token delivery.
- Transcribe live audio from microphones or phone calls using the realtime transcription endpoint with automatic reconnection on network failures.
- Integrate language model inference into an async web service or background job queue for high-throughput inference requests.
- Prototype or deploy multi-turn dialogue systems that leverage typed request/response structures for validation and IDE support.
- Stream model outputs directly to end users with Server-Sent Events while maintaining connection resilience.
