Products, side by side
Algorithmic pairing — assembled from recorded fields, not hand-checked
Baseten
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).
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.
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.
Tencent
API service
Automatic speech recognition API transcribing Mandarin and English speech, billed pay-as-you-go by default.
Multimedia processing platform with a dedicated Media AI layer -- smart subtitling (ASR plus LLM-based translation), smart erasing, intelligent content tagging and face recognition, LLM-based video summarization, and AI-driven quality inspection for live and on-demand video.
Optical character recognition API that extracts text from documents and images, billed pay-as-you-go with volume tiers.
Text-to-speech API synthesising speech from text, part of the same standalone cloud-AI-API catalogue as Tencent Cloud OCR and ASR.
Platform
Tencent Cloud's platform for training, fine-tuning and serving models.
Infrastructure service
GPU application service offering one-click deployment of pre-configured environments for running LLMs and other GPU-accelerated AI workloads.
