Baseten review

Baseten is strongest when a team moves its own model into production. Dedicated Inference runs custom models on GPUs from a T4 at about $0.63 an hour to a B200 at about $9.98, billed per minute, and Baseten states 99.99% uptime with capacity spread across 30+ cloud providers and failover during disruptions. It reports more than 15.5 billion inference calls a day. For teams that do not want to deploy anything, Model APIs price current open models per token, including GPT OSS 120B at $0.10 per 1M input tokens and $0.50 per 1M output, which is cheaper than Together or Fireworks for that model. Training compute and agent sandboxes sit on the same platform. The serverless catalog is shorter than Together's or Novita's, and the dedicated H100 rate of about $6.50 an hour is above DeepInfra and Hugging Face. Larger accounts negotiate capacity, regions and SLAs with sales.
