# Together AI

## Overview

[Together AI](https://www.together.ai/) provides an AI Acceleration Cloud, allowing you to train, fine-tune, and run inference on AI models blazing fast, at low cost, and at production scale.

Instantly run [200+ models](https://together.xyz/models) including DeepSeek, Llama3, Mixtral, and Stable Diffusion, optimized for peak latency, throughput, and context length.

## Choosing a model

To make use of the full power of ElevenLabs Agents you need to use a model that supports tool use and structured outputs. Together AI supports function calling for [these models](https://docs.together.ai/docs/function-calling):

- meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct-Turbo
- meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3.1-70B-Instruct-Turbo
- meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3.1-405B-Instruct-Turbo
- meta-llama/Llama-3.3-70B-Instruct-Turbo
- mistralai/Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct-v0.1
- mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.1

With this in mind, it’s recommended to use at least `meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3.1-70B-Instruct-Turbo` for your ElevenLabs Agents agent.

Once you have your API key, you can test it by running the following curl command:

```bash
curl https://api.together.xyz/v1/chat/completions -s \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer <API_KEY>" \
-d '{
"model": "meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3.1-70B-Instruct-Turbo",
"messages": [{
    "role": "user",
    "content": "Hello, how are you?"
}]
}'
```
