IBM and Together AI Partner on $240M AI Infrastructure Deal

IBM and Together AI have signed a multi-year $240 million agreement to deploy a large cluster of NVIDIA HGX B300 systems on IBM Cloud, targeting availability in Q1 2027. This is the first dedicated, large-scale inference cluster built for IBM Cloud using HGX B300 systems and NVIDIA Spectrum-X Ethernet networking.

The setup is designed to deliver up to 30x more AI factory output compared to prior generations, aiming to improve performance and token economics for large-scale AI workloads. Together AI will use this first large-scale, dedicated inference cluster on IBM Cloud to provide open-source model inference for enterprises.

This collaboration aims to enable Together AI to deliver better performance and token economics to enterprises as they look to efficiently scale their AI deployments.
