Intellectual Property Ownership

What it is

Together AI owns the platform, models, and all technology — you own your own content you submit, but Together AI retains broad rights to use it.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Together AI retains ownership of all models and platform technology, meaning any improvements to AI models derived from your inputs or fine-tuning work become part of Together AI's proprietary technology base, not yours.

Why it matters (compliance & risk perspective)

While users retain ownership of their submitted content, Together AI's broad license to use that content for model training combined with Together AI's ownership of all platform IP creates an asymmetric relationship where user-generated improvements to models belong to Together AI.

Institutional analysis (Compliance & legal intelligence)

(1) REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: Intellectual property provisions engage copyright law under 17 U.S.C. (particularly fair use doctrine and the ongoing debate about AI training data rights); EU Copyright in the Digital Single Market Directive (2019/790/EU) Art. 4 (text and data mining exception); and trade secret law under the DTSA (18 U.S.C. §1836) where model architectures or training methodologies constitute trade secrets. The EU AI Act also imposes transparency obligations on AI model providers regarding training data sources. (2)
