Vipul Ved Prakash co-founded Together AI in 2023 alongside a group of Stanford machine-learning researchers, building a GPU cloud and inference platform aimed at giving developers an alternative to hyperscaler AI infrastructure. Prior to Together AI, Prakash founded and led other technology companies focused on large-scale distributed systems.
As CEO, Prakash has positioned Together AI's growth around the open-source model ecosystem specifically, betting that enterprises increasingly want infrastructure optimized for running and fine-tuning open models rather than being confined to a single proprietary model provider's stack.
