The decision
Should Baseten make your shortlist?
Start with the job, the team, and the constraints. Product fit becomes much clearer when those three line up.
Practical use cases
Jobs it can take on
- Deploy a Hugging Face, custom, or fine-tuned model as an API
- Call pre-optimized hosted models through OpenAI-compatible APIs
- Train a model and deploy it to inference infrastructure
Before you choose
Know the tradeoffs
- Basic has no monthly platform fee, but compute and Model API usage are billed on a pay-as-you-go basis.
- Self-hosted deployments are offered under the Enterprise plan.
