Baseten is a serverless inference platform that converts machine learning models into production-ready APIs with auto-scaling GPU access across multiple cloud providers. It abstracts away infrastructure complexity—from GPU management and autoscaling to observability and billing—enabling ML teams to deploy and scale models without building custom infrastructure. The platform delivers up to 40% cost savings compared to in-house solutions and targets four to five nines of availability through model optimization and multi-cloud capacity management.

Axelera AI develops purpose-built hardware and software platforms that accelerate AI inference at the edge using proprietary digital in-memory computing (D-IMC) technology. Their flagship Metis™ AI Platform combines CPU and memory into a single chip, eliminating energy-intensive data movement between cloud and device, delivering 10x better energy efficiency than standard computing. The company serves industrial, defense, robotics, and retail customers who need low-latency, privacy-preserving AI processing on devices rather than cloud.
