Baseten

Baseten is a team of engineers and designers building AI/ML inference infrastructure and developer tools. Its main product, the Baseten AI inference platform, provides the infrastructure for running AI products in production, with a focus on inference performance and developer experience. The company's technical work spans machine learning infrastructure, AI inference optimization, kernel-level performance optimization, model deployment and developer tooling.

Engineers at Baseten spend time embedded with customers, learning from their operational challenges and turning them into reliable infrastructure. The company works on the premise that the best products emerge from working directly with the people using them, and measures success by the real-world impact of AI products running on the platform.

Baseten describes itself as an internationally diverse group of builders who ship daily and optimize obsessively. It optimises for shipping rather than process, holds that software quality comes from small teams with real ownership, and has focused on rapid iteration and hands-on problem solving since day one. The team takes pride in its craft but not itself too seriously.
