What is Baseten?

Baseten ends the free launch of elephant-1 and mammoth-1 and adds per-replica metrics.

Baseten's newest entries are commercial and operational. The elephant-1 and mammoth-1 classification models, launched free on October 21, moved to paid usage on Model APIs from October 27, and workspaces can now compare CPU, GPU and memory per replica to find outliers that aggregate graphs hide. The week before was mostly security: API keys unused for 30 days are revoked automatically, auth errors switch from 403 to 401 on October 28, and users were told to upgrade CLIs after the eMudhra CA compromise.

What is Dataiku?

Dataiku's tracked feed is its enterprise-AI thought-leadership blog, not a product changelog.

Dataiku's crawled feed is its content-marketing blog — essays on enterprise-AI value, governance, explainability, agentic-AI selection, and AI sovereignty, plus a Gartner Magic Quadrant leadership announcement. These are positioning and analyst-relations pieces, not shipped product changes, so no product trajectory can be read from this source.

Baseten
AI-ASSISTANTS
5.0

Baseten ends the free launch of elephant-1 and mammoth-1 and adds per-replica metrics.

◆ Current state

Baseten's newest entries are commercial and operational. The elephant-1 and mammoth-1 classification models, launched free on October 21, moved to paid usage on Model APIs from October 27, and workspaces can now compare CPU, GPU and memory per replica to find outliers that aggregate graphs hide. The week before was mostly security: API keys unused for 30 days are revoked automatically, auth errors switch from 403 to 401 on October 28, and users were told to upgrade CLIs after the eMudhra CA compromise.

◆ Where it's heading

Baseten keeps adding models to Model APIs on a free-then-paid launch pattern, while building out observability for dedicated deployments: GPU temperature and utilization a week ago, per-replica breakdowns now. The security tightening of late October appears to have settled into defaults.

◆ Prediction

Expect further Model API additions following the same free launch window before paid usage, and more per-replica or per-worker debugging tools for dedicated deployments.

D
Dataiku
AI-ASSISTANTS
5.0

Dataiku's tracked feed is its enterprise-AI thought-leadership blog, not a product changelog.

◆ Current state

Dataiku's crawled feed is its content-marketing blog — essays on enterprise-AI value, governance, explainability, agentic-AI selection, and AI sovereignty, plus a Gartner Magic Quadrant leadership announcement. These are positioning and analyst-relations pieces, not shipped product changes, so no product trajectory can be read from this source.

◆ Where it's heading

The content centers on governance, explainability, and agentic-AI maturity as enterprise themes Dataiku wants to own. Product moves are not observable from this feed; expect more governance and agentic-AI thought-leadership.

◆ Prediction

Tracking Dataiku's actual releases would require a product-update feed; the blog will keep publishing enterprise-AI governance and agentic-AI positioning content.
