Together AI introduced Together Link, which the company says connects open models to Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, OpenCode and Pi using a Together AI API key. Users can switch back to native closed models with one command.

Its automatic router selects a model from the first task and routes once per session, preserving prompt caching. Without an Anthropic key, it chooses between GLM 5.3 and GLM 5.3 Flash; with one, it chooses between Opus 5.5 and GLM 5.3.

Billing uses existing Together serverless pay-as-you-go plans or credit packs, without a separate contract. A session tracker compares spending with an estimated Opus 5.5 cost.
