## What the story says

Scaled Cognition trains its Large Action Models (APT-1) on Together AI GPU Clusters, using bare-metal B200 and H200 GPUs with direct SSH access to run Slurm and a custom multi-node training stack.

Summary written by usedby from the source page, in English. The figures are those of Together AI and Scaled Cognition, not ours.

> As a result, they recovered an estimated 3–4 months of cumulative research time previously lost to infrastructure failures and achieved ~50% cost savings vs. other providers

- **~50%**: “~50% cost savings vs. other compute providers”

> We spent 3-4 months blocked by infrastructure failures with previous providers—debugging networking issues that had nothing to do with our models. Together AI's cluster has had zero training-blocking issues since we switched. That reliability, combined with significant cost savings compared to other providers, completely changed our development velocity. But honestly, the responsive support is what keeps us here: shared Slack channel, problems resolved within hours, smooth scaling of our training cluster as our needs have been expanding. Together AI lets us focus on building breakthrough models instead of fighting infrastructure.
