The challenge
The Washington Post launched Ask The Post AI, a public-facing assistant answering reader questions from its journalism. It required consistent response times and predictable costs without depending on proprietary model APIs.
The solution
The Post ran open-source Llama and Mistral models on Together AI with customized configurations for its journalism use case and fixed monthly pricing, retaining full model ownership.
“Together AI's flexibility in creating customized configurations for our journalism use case has been invaluable to our success.”
SHSam HanChief AI Officer, The Washington Post
The results, in context
Together AI's page reports the Post achieved consistent roughly 2-second responses while processing 1.79 billion input tokens per month, maintaining enterprise-grade reliability for the public assistant.
