This plugin is not yet available in the Eliza plugin registry. To use Together AI models today, configure them through the [OpenRouter plugin](/plugin-registry/llm/openrouter) using the appropriate model ID.

The Together AI plugin connects Eliza agents to Together's inference platform, providing access to a wide catalog of open-source models with competitive pricing and fast inference.

```

## Configuration
