# Model Serving

Kubernetes operator for serving AI inference workloads

KubeAI is an Apache-2.0 Kubernetes operator for deploying and scaling AI inference workloads, including LLMs, embeddings, reranking, and speech-to-text. It gives platform teams OpenAI-compatible endpoints, model proxy/controller primitives, model caching, scale-from-zero behavior, and cluster-native resource management for self-hosted inference on Kubernetes.

ML inference platform for production AI models

Baseten is the inference platform for deploying AI models at scale with dedicated and pre-optimized model APIs and performance-optimized infrastructure. Specializes in image generation, transcription, text-to-speech, LLM serving, embeddings, and compound AI workloads. Delivers 75% latency reduction with 415ms cold starts and 3000+ concurrent scaling. Available as managed cloud or self-hosted, trusted by Cursor, Notion, Descript, and Sourcegraph for production inference.

NVIDIA's optimized AI model serving platform

Triton Inference Server is NVIDIA's open-source inference serving platform that deploys AI models from TensorRT, PyTorch, ONNX, TensorFlow, OpenVINO, Python, and more across cloud, data center, and edge environments. It supports dynamic batching, model ensembles, concurrent model execution on GPUs and CPUs, and real-time, streaming, and batch inference patterns. Includes Model Analyzer for profiling and Model Navigator for automated optimization.
