Baseten has launched its public beta, allowing anyone to use the platform, with a focus on learning from and improving the product through user feedback. The company is also sharing tutorials, research papers, and other resources to help users get value from Baseten. Recent updates include new pre-trained models for Dall·E mini, which can be used in starter apps, and UI improvements for worklets that make creating model-backed API endpoints smoother. A team offsite was held in May, where the company discussed strategy and roadmapping sessions, and new hires have been welcomed to the team, including a full-stack engineer and a front-end engineer.

Baseten is an ML Application Builder that aims to simplify the process of deploying machine learning models into business processes, allowing data scientists to focus on model development and solving business problems. It provides a platform for serving models easily and quickly, integrating with other services and data stores, designing interactive views for business users, and shipping full-stack applications. By reducing barriers to getting models out of notebooks and into the hands of users, Baseten aims to increase the rate of iteration and empower data scientists to derive more value from machine learning. The platform has been built by a team that has iterated with early customers, including Data Scientists and ML Engineers at various organizations, and is now available in public beta for all data scientists to try out.
