Baseten vs D-ID

The catalog turns over constantly — DeepSeek V4 Pro 0813, Inkling and Inkling Small, Kimi K3, GLM 5.2 Fast in, and GLM 5.1, GLM 5, Kimi K2.5 and Nemotron Super 120B deprecated — all reachable through the same OpenAI-compatible endpoint with dedicated deployments for larger workloads. Two releases break that pattern. Baseten for Model Labs packages the serving stack as infrastructure a lab can adopt instead of building its own, and the Fast tier debuts with GLM 5.2 Fast: identical weights on dedicated capacity tuned for sustained per-user throughput. Workspace governance fills in alongside — org-scoped key administration, programmatic logs and metrics, and a GPU usage view for admins.

Baseten is working both sides of the market at once. Toward developers, model choice is being commoditised into interchangeable catalog entries while serving characteristics become the thing that is actually priced. Toward labs, the pitch is that distribution and serving are someone else's problem. Those converge on the same position: whoever owns the endpoint owns the relationship, regardless of who trained the weights. The governance releases are the unglamorous prerequisite for the larger accounts that position requires.

Expect the Fast tier to expand beyond GLM 5.2 to the models agentic workloads lean on hardest, and the deprecation cadence to continue thinning older catalog entries as newer ones land.
