The honest brief
Baseten
Pairs prebuilt Model APIs with dedicated Truss deployments and scale-to-zero, so you don't pay for idle GPUs.
- Prebuilt Model APIs for Llama, DeepSeek
- Dedicated GPU/CPU deploys for custom models
- Open-source Truss packaging format
- Production-grade observability and autoscaling
- Dedicated GPU rates run pricier than Modal
- Per-replica cost doubles for redundancy
- Engineering effort to package custom models
Morph
A dedicated Fast Apply model that merges LLM code edits at ~10,500 tok/s — purpose-built write layer for agents.
- Merges edits without full-file rewrites
- OpenAI-compatible API
- Used in production by JetBrains, Vercel
- Adds code search and context compaction
- Narrow, infra-layer use case
- Closed source
- Most useful only inside coding agents
When to pick which
