Baseten

Baseten is a cloud provider that has emerged as a solution to this deployment bottleneck with its inference-first infrastructure platform. Unlike other cloud providers that primarily focus on model training or general-purpose computing, Baseten specializes in the deployment and scaling of production-ready AI models. This entails instant deployment of either open-source library models (e.g., Llama, DeekSeek, Whisper) or the user’s own models. By offering a serverless architecture that spans multiple cloud providers, Baseten gives customers access to scarce GPU resources while delivering up to 40% cost savings compared to in-house solutions. The company's platform enables organizations to transform complex machine learning models into scalable, production-grade applications without the traditional engineering overhead.
