Why Baseten is interesting

Model inference in production is a performance and cost-engineering problem: keeping p95 latency stable, keeping autoscaling elastic, and keeping per-token economics viable as call volume explodes. - Enterprise applications are moving from human-in-the-loop copilots to agent workloads that generate 5–50x more tokens per user interaction. - Hyperscaler GPU availability is uneven and pricing is workload-sensitive. - Fine-tuned, open-weight models (Llama, Mistral, Qwen, DeepSeek) benefit from specialized inference tooling.
