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.
Yandex
API service
Speech recognition and speech synthesis API built on the technology behind the Alice assistant, used for voice assistants, call-centre automation and service-quality monitoring.
Neural machine translation API supporting more than 100 languages, sold as a Yandex Cloud service.
Computer-vision API that recognises and extracts text, tables, handwriting, document fields and licence plates from images and PDFs in 48 languages.
Platform
Yandex Cloud platform that serves Yandex's generative models (YandexGPT, YandexART, embeddings, classifiers) over an API, with fine-tuning, a model gallery and agent/assistant tooling.
End-to-end managed ML development environment with notebooks, distributed training jobs and one-click model deployment on elastically scaled CPU/GPU resources.
No counterpart
Baseten sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Yandex yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
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.
Yandex sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Baseten yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
Application
Yandex's consumer AI assistant and chat product, which answers questions with web search, analyses uploaded files, and generates text and images from Yandex's own generative models.
Speech-analytics service that transcribes and analyses voice and text customer conversations to surface topics, sentiment and service-quality metrics.
Developer tool
Yandex's AI coding assistant for VS Code and JetBrains IDEs, offering completion, chat, code review and an agent mode that carries out development tasks from natural-language instructions.
