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
