# Together AI vs Morph

> Morph is a specialist fast-apply model for coding agents, not a general host. Together can serve the main coding model while Morph merges its edits.

## How they compare

These are not substitutes. Morph builds small specialist models, led by Fast Apply: a frontier model writes only the changed lines, and a 7B merge model folds them into the full file at 10,500+ tokens per second with up to 98% accuracy. Morph says this cuts tokens about 40% against full-file rewrites. Its lineup also includes WarpGrep for repository search, Compact for context compression and Reflex for classification. Together is a general open-model platform. It hosts the big models that would write those edits, such as Kimi K3, DeepSeek V4 or GLM 5.2, plus fine-tuning and GPU clusters.

In a coding agent they slot together. The planner and editor model runs on Together, emits lazy edit snippets, and Morph applies them fast, trimming the most expensive output tokens from the main model's bill. Morph's 2 to 4% merge error rate means tests or linting still need to gate edits. Morph does serve general chat endpoints and offers fine-tuning, but it is not built to replace a broad host. Evaluate them as layers of the same stack.

## What each one does

### Together AI

Together AI is the broadest open-model platform in the category. One bill covers per-token serverless inference, batch at up to 50% off, provisioned throughput with a 99% SLA, dedicated deployments, raw GPU clusters, managed fine-tuning and code sandboxes for agents. The text catalog runs past thirty open models, including DeepSeek V4, Kimi K3, GLM 5.2, Qwen 3.8 and MiniMax M3, plus image, video, speech and embedding models. Token prices sit at parity with Fireworks and Baseten.

### Morph

Morph builds small, very fast specialist models that sit beside a big coding model inside an agent. Its flagship is Fast Apply. The frontier model writes only the changed lines with // ... existing code ... markers, and Morph merges them into the full file at 10,500+ tokens per second with up to 98% accuracy. It is the same idea behind Cursor's instant apply, offered as an OpenAI-compatible API.

## Which is best, and when

### Choose Together AI for

- Hosting the main open coding model, like Kimi K3
- Fine-tuning a coding model on your own repositories
- Agent code sandboxes on the same bill

### Choose Morph for

- Applying agent edits to large files in near real time
- Cutting output tokens versus full-file rewrites
- Fast repository search with WarpGrep
