# Together AI Raises $800M Series C at $8.3B Valuation

> Together AI has raised an 800 million dollar Series C at an 8.3 billion dollar post-money valuation, led by Aramco Ventures with participation from Vista Equity, General Catalyst, Emergence, and Nvidia. The company is a neocloud, renting out GPU clusters and infrastructure tuned specifically for running and deploying open-source AI models. The thesis behind the round is that as open models from labs like Moonshot, Mistral, and DeepSeek get genuinely competitive, companies will want somewhere to run them that is not one of the big hyperscalers. Together is positioning itself as that neutral infrastructure layer, the picks-and-shovels play for teams building on open weights rather than closed APIs. The investor list is telling. Aramco Ventures leading points to Gulf capital continuing to pour into AI infrastructure, and Nvidia's participation is the familiar pattern of the chipmaker backing the customers who buy its hardware. At an 8.3 billion valuation, the market is betting that open-source AI deployment becomes a large and durable business, not just a cheaper alternative to the incumbents.
