Serving inference at scale—across multiple clouds—is complex and not something to take lightly. To tackle this challenge, we built the Baseten Multi-Cloud Capacity Management (MCM) system. While there’s significant engineering complexity in creating this orchestration layer, it’s only possible thanks to two key pillars: our cloud partner ecosystem and the accelerated compute hardware, from partners such as NVIDIA, that enables inference at scale.
In this post, we’ll walk through how Baseten’s MCM unifies compute across clouds, why our partner ecosystem is foundational to this success, and how we deliver high performance AI at scale.
Multi-Cloud Capacity Management (MCM)
Baseten’s MCM is a universal orchestration layer that pools GPUs across multiple cloud providers and regions, treating them as a single elastic, always-available resource. It handles autoscaling, failover, and latency-aware routing—removing regional silos and eliminating single points of failure.
Core capabilities include:
99.99% uptime through active-active reliability: traffic seamlessly shifts across clouds if one region fails.
Lowest possible latency, delivered via intelligent compute allocation and routing.
Compliance-ready deployment, including SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA, and GDPR, with full data residency support.
No vendor lock-in, with flexible options to use your own cloud or Baseten’s compute, plus rapid access to the latest GPUs (e.g., NVIDIA Blackwell).
With thousands of GPUs distributed across clouds and regions, MCM provides AI engineers with a unified, resilient, low-latency platform that “just works” for deploying production-grade applications.
Our cloud partners are foundational to MCM
We’ve built a unique ecosystem of cloud partners who help power MCM every day. Their infrastructure is central to extending Baseten’s reach, ensuring constant uptime, and making AI deployment seamless within users’ existing workflows.
A huge thank you to some of our current partners for supporting us:
Together, these partners help us push the boundaries of AI infrastructure and deliver world-class inference to our customers.
Enabling Performance at scale
Baseten builds the software layer that makes deploying and scaling inference a seamless experience for customers. It is built on top of two pillars:
Exceptional model performance, lowering latency and increasing throughput across models of any modality; and
A highly reliable, globally available, accelerated compute fabric enabling the highest availability across many cloud partners.
These combined deliver the best of both worlds: AI applications running exceptionally fast on highly reliable infrastructure, all wrapped in a delightful developer experience.
Why this matters to our customers:
Operate on global reliable infrastructure. No long procurement cycles, limited compute availability, paying for always-on capacity, dealing with maintenance windows, or other scaling challenges.
Future-proof scaling. You spent time building a magical AI experience for your customers. From massive context windows to real-time applications, the Baseten stack helps delivers that experience out-of-the-box with higher throughput, lower latency, and lower cost per token—without additional tuning or engineering overhead..
Our cloud partners are central to delivering this experience for our customers and we celebrate them for it. Over the coming weeks, we will be showcasing how we work with a selection of our partners to deliver high performance AI infrastructure at scale for the world’s leading enterprises.
