Baseten Free Trial and API Pricing Guide
Baseten is built for teams deploying custom AI models, with Truss packaging, GPU inference, autoscaling, model serving, and production observability. If you only need the cheapest hosted LLM API, Baseten may not be the first stop; if you need to ship your own model reliably, it deserves evaluation. Trial credits, hardware pricing, cold starts, concurrency, and SLA should be verified in the Baseten dashboard or quote.
