Baseten

Overview

Baseten provides GPU inference infrastructure optimized for AI model serving, including embedding models and large language models. The platform offers both cloud-hosted serving and custom client libraries for maximum throughput.

Key Features

• GPU-accelerated embedding model inference with production-ready performance
• Baseten Performance Client: Custom Rust-based client delivering up to 12x better throughput for batch embedding workloads compared to standard OpenAI SDK implementations
• Containerized model deployment with automatic scaling
• Support for open-source embedding models (E5, BGE, and others)
• Production-grade monitoring and observability

Performance Client

The Baseten Performance Client is specifically designed for batch embedding workloads, achieving significantly higher throughput than standard HTTP-based SDK clients. This is critical for high-volume embedding pipelines processing millions of documents.

Pricing

Usage-based pricing model for GPU inference. Specific rates depend on model type, GPU class, and request volume.
