Features Comparison

Baseten

Model APIs
OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible endpoints for hosted open models, billed per input, cached input, and output token
Dedicated deployments
Custom, fine-tuned, or open-source models on dedicated GPUs from T4 to B200 and RTX PRO 6000, in 1 to 8-GPU instances, with autoscaling
Training
Managed training jobs on the same GPU instance types, with checkpoints deployable to inference
Truss
Open-source packaging standard for serving models built in any framework
Self-hosted and hybrid
Enterprise deployments in the customer's VPC or split across Baseten's cloud and the customer's

Cerebras

Wafer-Scale Inference
Models run on the Cerebras Wafer-Scale Engine, which keeps model weights in on-chip SRAM to reach published speeds in the thousands of tokens per second
OpenAI-Compatible API
Chat Completions and Completions endpoints at api.cerebras.ai/v1, usable from the OpenAI SDKs or the Cerebras Python and TypeScript SDKs
Open-Weight Model Catalog
Public endpoints serve unmodified open-weight models such as OpenAI GPT OSS and Qwen, with a documented policy of no pruning on hosted models
Reasoning and Tool Calling
Configurable reasoning effort, streaming, structured outputs, parallel tool calling, and prompt caching across the catalog
Image Inputs
Vision-capable models accept PNG and JPEG images alongside text
Dedicated Endpoints
Private, provisioned endpoints on reserved capacity with fine-tuning, weight management, and additional model families, arranged through sales

Pros & Cons

Baseten

Advantages

Per-minute billing on dedicated GPUs
Per-token Model APIs and dedicated deployments from one account
SOC 2 Type II certified and HIPAA compliant
Multi-GPU instance sizes published with vCPU and memory

Considerations

Dedicated GPU rates are higher than raw GPU rental because they include the serving platform
Model API catalog is a curated set of models
Volume discounts and custom regions require a sales conversation

Cerebras

Advantages

Published throughput in the thousands of tokens per second on public models
Drop-in OpenAI-compatible API with first-party Python and TypeScript SDKs
Serves original, unpruned open-weight models with a stated no-modification policy
Free trial credits on signup, then self-serve pay-as-you-go

Considerations

Very small public model catalog compared with GPU-based inference providers
Free-tier context windows are roughly half the paid-tier limits
Preview models can be withdrawn and are not intended for production use
