- Serving fine-tuned or proprietary LLMs at scale with automatic batching, KV-cache optimization, and multi-replica horizontal scaling on H100/A100 clusters
- Building compound AI pipelines with Baseten Chains — chain LLM calls, embedding lookups, and post-processing steps with per-node GPU control and sub-pipeline autoscaling
- High-throughput embeddings via Baseten Embeddings Inference (BEI) for RAG pipelines, semantic search, and recommendation systems with 2x+ throughput gains over alternatives
- Real-time audio streaming for voice agents and AI phone call systems, achieving state-of-the-art TTFB (time to first byte) with TTS model deployments
- Optimized speech-to-text transcription — deploying Whisper and custom ASR models with sub-300ms latency and speaker diarization support
- Self-hosted or hybrid VPC deployments — running inference inside customer-owned infrastructure with optional burst capacity on Baseten Cloud for compliance-sensitive workloads
