Growing @Basetenco: best-in-class model hosting for AI startups. Formerly @Stripe. NYC + SF. Let's talk GPUs, sales, or Brazilian jiu-jitsu.








almost all the winning applications we’ve seen this year have been “compound ai” now delivering multi-component, performant AI systems is 10X easier! @baseten chains ⛓️ is an example of how inference growing up will enable an incredible new generation of applications


Introducing the new Antimetal—a complete command and control system for AWS. The cloud is broken. It’s complex, expensive, and hard to manage. We’re solving this with AI.

Baseten launches Mistral 7B API with leading performance 🚀 @baseten has entered the arena with their first serverless LLM offering of Mistral 7B Instruct. Artificial Analysis are measuring 170 tokens per second, the fastest of any provider, and 0.1s latency (TTFT) in-line with the next fastest provider. Mistral 7B Instruct from @Mistralai has become the leading 7B-class model for use-cases from RAG chatbots to data extraction. With pricing more than two orders of magnitude lower than large models like GPT-4 and Claude 3 Opus, models like Mistral 7B Instruct enable use-cases that wouldn’t be possible with the economics of larger models.

We're excited to announce that we've raised a $40M Series B to help power the next generation of AI-native products with performant, reliable and scalable inference infrastructure. baseten.co/blog/announcin…




We're officially profitable! 🥳 Last year, we set a goal to become profitable by the end of 2023 – a milestone we have now successfully reached. What does this mean for Reflect? It means we're here for the long haul! Many startups rely on venture financing, pushing them into a "grow at all costs" model. We want to do things differently. Our aim is to grow sustainably and steady, building a useful product along the way. We are semi-bootstrapped, and the investors we do have are looking for dividends rather than an exit. Again, this aligns incentives towards sustainable growth that will give Reflect true longevity. It ensures that both product quality and the company will continue to thrive. In other words, your notes are safe with us. Our entire team wants to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has supported us on this journey so far. We have lots of fun developments coming in the next few months and into 2024! 🫶 Thanks, Alex
