Products, side by side
Algorithmic pairing — assembled from recorded fields, not hand-checked
Baseten
Platform
Deploys and serves machine-learning models as production endpoints on managed GPU infrastructure.
Trains and fine-tunes models with reinforcement learning through the Loops SDK, deploying the result onto Baseten's inference stack.
Model API
Pre-optimised hosted endpoints for open-source frontier models, called without deploying or managing a deployment first.
Kuaishou
Platform
StreamLake's enterprise model-serving and AI computing platform, offering hosted inference and model customisation over a curated hub of open and in-house models.
Model API
Kling's open-platform REST API that lets developers call its video and image generation models programmatically from Singapore or Beijing endpoints.
No counterpart
Baseten sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Kuaishou yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
API service
Production-grade API launch platform for model labs: takes a lab's model from research to a reliable, scalable, white-labelled API in days, distinct from Baseten's Distribution Platform (model marketplace listing).
Infrastructure service
Named inference runtime (automatic TensorRT/SGLang/vLLM builds, speculative decoding, custom kernel fusion, KV-cache optimisation) that underlies Baseten's Dedicated Inference, Model APIs and Training products.
