Overview
Baseten is an American company founded in 2019 that runs machine learning models in production for companies that would rather not operate GPU infrastructure themselves. Its position is inference rather than training: it handles model packaging, autoscaling, cold start latency and multi-cloud capacity, which are the unglamorous problems that determine whether a model-powered product is fast and affordable enough to ship. Headquartered in San Francisco and backed at a multi-billion dollar valuation, it serves companies deploying open and custom models, and it competes with both the hyperscalers and the model providers' own hosted endpoints.

Products
Training and Fine-Tuning
Managed fine-tuning of open models on customer data. It captures workloads earlier in the lifecycle, so the resulting model is already running on the platform by the time it reaches actual production traffic.
baseten.co
Multi-Cloud Capacity
Access to GPU capacity across several cloud providers and regions. Availability is uneven and shifts constantly, so sourcing across clouds is a practical necessity rather than any kind of architectural preference.
baseten.co
Dedicated Deployments
Isolated GPU capacity reserved for a single customer's workload. Shared inference introduces latency variance that a customer-facing product frequently cannot tolerate at all, whatever the cost saving.
baseten.co
Truss
An open source format for packaging a model with its dependencies and serving configuration. Standardising packaging is what makes a model portable between environments instead of tied to whoever deployed it first.
baseten.co
Model Inference
Hosted serving of open and custom models with autoscaling and monitoring. Inference economics rather than model quality usually decide whether a feature ships, since a model too slow or costly to run is no use.
