# Recommended models

> Our picks for common inference use cases.

Together hosts 100+ open-source models across text, image, video, and audio.

Most of the models below are for instant [serverless inference](/docs/serverless/models), or reserved hardware deployments with [dedicated model inference](/docs/dedicated-endpoints/models). Both options use the same [inference API](/docs/inference/overview).
