Modalities — Replicate Wins

Modalities: Replicate compared with Together AI
Feature	Replicate	Together AI
Text Input	Yes, requires free plan. Every hosted model takes a prompt (or structured input) via the HTTP API and playground.	Yes, requires free plan. Serverless inference and playground take chat/completions text.
Image Upload / Vision	Yes, requires plus plan. Many models take reference images (FLUX, Seedream, etc.). You pass files/URLs in the API.	Unknown. Vision on hosted models was not confirmed on the marketing homepage.
Image Generation	Yes, requires plus plan. Hosts FLUX, Imagen, GPT Image, Recraft, and thousands of community image models. Billing is prepaid credit.	Unknown. Together is inference/GPU cloud. Image model hosting was not on the homepage snippet.
Voice Mode	No. You can run TTS/STT models. That is not a conversational voice loop product.	No. Not a conversational voice product.
Video Understanding	Partial. Hosts caption and video models. Replicate itself does not “watch YouTube” as a chat product.	No. Not a video-analysis product.
Video Generation	Partial. Hosts third-party video models via API; it is not a first-party video studio.	No. Not a video generation product.
File Upload (PDF, DOCX)	Partial. API inputs include images, zip datasets for training. Not a PDF chat uploader.	No. Chat/completions, not a PDF uploader.
Code Execution	No. You call models. Cog packages your code; that is deploy, not a user Python sandbox in chat.	Yes, requires plus plan. Code sandboxes are listed on the product page.
Audio Input	Yes, requires plus plan. Speech and music models are listed (generate speech, music).	Unknown. Speech endpoints were not on the homepage snippet.
Canvas / Artifact Editor	No. Playground is a form, not an artifacts canvas.	No. Playground, not a canvas.
Screen Sharing / Computer Use	No. No computer-use product.	No. No computer-use product.

Memory & Context — Together AI Wins

Memory & Context: Replicate compared with Together AI
Feature	Replicate	Together AI
Persistent Memory	No. Predictions are jobs. You keep state in your app.	No. Stateless inference. You keep history.
Large Context Window	Unknown. Depends on the model you run. No single Replicate window.	Unknown. Depends on the open model you host. No single Together window on the homepage.
Custom Instructions	Partial. System prompts / input schemas per model. Not a global user profile.	Yes, requires free plan. System prompts in the API.
Conversation History	Partial. Playground and prediction logs. The API is stateless per call.	Partial. Playground/console history. The API is stateless.

Integrations — Replicate Wins

Integrations: Replicate compared with Together AI
Feature	Replicate	Together AI
Web Search / Browsing	No. Not a search engine. A model might browse if the author built that.	No. Not a search product.
Plugins / Extensions	Yes, requires free plan. Thousands of community models, client libraries, webhooks, MCP server.	Partial. Endpoints, batch, dedicated clusters. Not a GPT plugin store.
API Access	Yes, requires free plan. HTTP API, Node/Python clients, deployments. Get started for free; pay for compute.	Yes, requires free plan. Inference API, fine-tuning, GPU cloud. Usage billing, not a seat.
Zapier Integration	Unknown. No first-party Zapier listing was checked.	Unknown. No first-party Zapier listing was checked.
Custom GPTs / Bots	No. You deploy models, not a GPT store.	No. No GPT store.
Real-time Collaboration	No. No multiplayer canvas.	No. No multiplayer chat.
Live Social Data Integration	No. No live social firehose.	No. No live social firehose.

Developer — Tie

Developer: Replicate compared with Together AI
Feature	Replicate	Together AI
Function Calling	Unknown. Depends on the language model you host. Not a Replicate-wide tools API.	Unknown. Tool use on hosted models was not confirmed on the homepage.
Streaming Responses	Yes, requires plus plan. Docs include streaming output for compatible models.	Yes, requires plus plan. Serverless inference streams tokens. Research kernels (FlashAttention) are the latency pitch.
Fine-Tuning	Yes, requires plus plan. Trainings API: fine-tune image models (e.g. FLUX LoRA) and push the result.	Yes, requires plus plan. Fine-tuning is a listed product next to inference and GPU cloud.
Embeddings API	Unknown. You can run embedding models if published. Not a first-party embeddings SKU.	Unknown. An embeddings endpoint was not confirmed on the homepage.
Structured Output (JSON)	Partial. Cog/input schemas. JSON-mode depends on the model.	Unknown. JSON mode was not confirmed on the homepage.
Reasoning / Thinking Mode	Unknown. Hosts reasoning models (e.g. Claude). No Replicate Deep Think switch.	Unknown. You can host reasoning open models. No Together Deep Think toggle.
Local Execution	Partial. Cog is open source so you can run locally. Hosted Replicate is cloud GPUs.	No. Cloud GPUs / serverless. Not on your laptop.
Open Weights	Partial. Hosts many open models. The platform and many popular models are mixed open/closed.	Partial. Inference cloud for open models. Together’s serving stack is not a weight release.
Multi-Agent Orchestration	No. You orchestrate in your code.	No. You orchestrate in your app.
