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.

Lila Sciences is an American company launched publicly in 2025 out of Flagship Pioneering with the aim of building what it calls scientific superintelligence: artificial intelligence systems that generate hypotheses and then test them in the company's own automated laboratories. Its distinguishing feature is the closed loop between model and experiment, since most scientific machine learning is limited by the fact that the data it needs has never been generated. Headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts and funded at an unusually large scale for a company at this stage, it is working across life sciences and materials chemistry rather than committing to a single field.

HQ: San Francisco, United States · E-learning · Cybersecurity · Identity Management · 1001-5000 employees · Est. 2009 · Trust A · Hiring 367, 32 new
Okta is an American identity company founded in 2009 that manages who can log in to what across an organisation's applications, and it built its position by being neutral between the cloud vendors rather than tied to any one of them. Its workforce identity products handle single sign-on, multi-factor authentication and lifecycle management for employees, while Auth0, acquired in 2021, provides the same capability for developers building customer-facing applications. Headquartered in San Francisco and listed on Nasdaq, it suffered a serious support-system breach in 2023 that put its own security practices under scrutiny in a category built entirely on trust.
