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).
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.
Model API
Pre-optimised hosted endpoints for open-source frontier models, called without deploying or managing a deployment first.
Together AI
API service
Asynchronous bulk inference for workloads that do not need a real-time response, priced below Together's serverless rate.
A managed service for fine-tuning open-source models on a customer's own data and serving the result on Together's infrastructure.
Infrastructure service
Dedicated, reserved GPU containers for model inference with guaranteed performance, billed per GPU-hour.
Reserved NVIDIA GPU clusters for training and large-scale inference.
Model API
Hosted API serving open-weight text, image and audio models, billed per token.
No counterpart
Baseten sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Together AI yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
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.
Together AI sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Baseten yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
Developer tool
Custom model training service covering supervised fine-tuning and direct preference optimization, billed per token.
