Today, we’re thrilled to announce that Refuel.ai has been acquired by Together.ai. All of us—our team, our technology, and our mission—are joining Together to help build the future of open source and enterprise AI.
This is a huge milestone for Refuel, and just the beginning of our next chapter.
Refuel.ai began with a belief that data quality was the critical bottleneck for AI to be successful – and achieving this should be radically faster and cheaper. We set out to build the AI models and platform that would enable every team to get clean, structured data to run their business at lightning speed.
Since launching, we’ve had the privilege to work with some of the most advanced engineering teams, helping them build and deploy massive data pipelines in production. Along the way, we’ve built a family of high-quality models (Refuel LLM-2), powerful tooling and infra to ingest and process data, and assembled a team that’s relentlessly focused on building systems that solve some of the most important problems for our customers.
Today, Refuel.ai powers data pipelines for customers ranging from AI-native startups to major financial institutions, processing billions of tokens and millions of records per week.
From the start, we’ve respected what Together.ai is building: a platform that brings openness, performance, and cost-efficiency to the core of AI infrastructure. Their commitment to open-source models and the broader AI community deeply resonates with us.
Together, we can go further. Refuel.ai’s orchestration and data transformation capabilities will be integrated into Together’s AI platform, accelerating their vision of the AI Acceleration Cloud to serve the next generation of developers to enable production-grade AI at scale.
All Refuel employees are joining Together.ai. Our platform will continue to operate as-is for now, and we’ll be working closely with the Together team to bring our capabilities into their infrastructure in thoughtful, powerful ways.
Starting today, Refuel LLM-2 is available on Together.ai’s platform—supporting serverless inference and LoRA fine-tuning for high-accuracy data workflows.
If you’re a customer or partner, we’ll be reaching out with more details—but there’s no immediate action required on your part. Our commitment to support, reliability, and transparency remains unchanged.
To our customers and early believers: thank you for trusting us to solve your critical data problems and helping shape the journey. And to the Refuel team: you made this possible — every late night, every launch, every hard technical choice. We're so proud of what we’ve built together.
The challenges in AI infrastructure are only growing, and by joining Together, we’re better equipped than ever to meet them. This is the next chapter in our story, and we couldn’t be more excited.
Stay tuned—we’re just getting started.
— Rishabh and Nihit. Founders, Refuel
