Baseten provides a platform for deploying and managing machine learning (ML) models, aimed at simplifying the process for businesses. Users can select from a library of open-source foundation models and deploy them with just two clicks, making it easier to implement ML solutions without complex setup. The platform features autoscaling, which adjusts resources based on demand, and monitoring tools for tracking performance and troubleshooting. A distinctive feature is Truss, an open-source model packaging framework that allows users to deploy any model via a command-line interface. Baseten operates on a usage-based pricing model, charging clients only for the time their models are actively deployed or making predictions. The goal of Baseten is to provide efficient and scalable ML infrastructure for tech companies, data scientists, and ML engineers.
