Baseten is built around the Baseten Inference Stack — a purpose-built runtime layer featuring custom CUDA kernels, cutting-edge decoding techniques (e.g., speculative decoding), and advanced KV-cache management to maximize throughput and minimize latency. The platform exposes REST APIs for model serving and supports dedicated inference clusters, pre-optimized Model APIs, multi-cloud deployments (AWS, GCP, Azure), and self-hosted VPC deployments. Baseten Chains enables compound AI pipelines with granular per-step hardware selection and autoscaling, delivering 6x better GPU utilization and ~50% latency reduction. Baseten Embeddings Inference (BEI) provides over 2x higher throughput and 10% lower latency than competing solutions.
