Baseten
Serve and scale open-source and custom AI models on the fastest, most reliable inference
Baseten is an inference platform for deploying, training, and serving AI models in production. It addresses the challenge of running open-source, custom, and fine-tuned models reliably at scale, with dedicated inference for high-scale workloads, pre-optimized Model APIs, and training via the Loops SDK. Deployments can run on Baseten Cloud, self-hosted in your own VPC, or a hybrid option.
The platform includes cross-cloud autoscaling, fast cold starts, and observability tooling, with support for compound AI systems via Baseten Chains and embeddings inference (BEI). Models are packaged with Truss, an open-source standard for serving models built in any framework. Baseten Cloud is SOC 2 Type II certified and HIPAA compliant, with single-tenant and region-locked deployments available for sensitive workloads.
Baseten is offered in Basic, Pro, and Enterprise plans. Basic includes dedicated deployments, Model APIs, training, and support, with a pay-as-you-go model and free credits for new accounts. Pro adds priority GPU access, dedicated compute, higher Model API rate limits, and engineering support. Enterprise adds self-hosting, custom SLAs, advanced security, and custom regions. Compute is billed by usage, with volume discounts available on higher tiers.
