What is this error?

When Together AI inference times out, the model took too long to load, initialize, or generate a response. Large models can have cold start times of 30-120 seconds, and inference itself can timeout under load.

Common Causes

  • Cold start — model loading into GPU memory
  • Model is too large for allocated resources
  • Input is too large or complex
  • Infrastructure overloaded
  • Together AI inference endpoint is degraded

✓ How to Fix It

  1. Increase timeout values in your client
  2. Use a smaller model variant if available
  3. Keep the endpoint warm with periodic requests
  4. Check if auto-scaling is configured
  5. Reduce input size

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Together AI inference timing out?
Large models have cold starts (30-120s). If timeouts persist, the model may need more resources or Together AI may be overloaded.
How do I reduce Together AI cold start time?
Keep endpoints warm, use smaller models, or use Together AI's dedicated/reserved infrastructure.
