Baseten

What Baseten does

Baseten is a private AI infrastructure company focused on productionizing model inference (and, increasingly, the full train→deploy lifecycle) for teams building AI-native products. Its core offering is the Baseten Inference Platform and Inference Stack, which it positions as providing model runtimes, scaling, and operational tooling for deploying custom/open-source models in production with configurable deployment modes (cloud, self-hosted, and hybrid). Baseten also offers purpose-built components for specific workload types (e.g., embeddings) and a developer experience intended to reduce the engineering effort required to move from research/training to reliable inference at scale.
