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

Together AI

One stop for the open-model stack: hundreds of open-weights models served plus both LoRA and full fine-tuning.

  • LoRA and full fine-tuning
  • Competitive inference-at-scale pricing
  • OpenAI-compatible API
  • Dedicated endpoints + GPU clusters
  • Open models only, no frontier closed models
  • Less specialized than single-model hosts
  • Throughput varies by model demand
