Questions
How much does the Baseten API cost?
Baseten bills per million tokens, with separate input and output rates for each model. On October 20, 2026 its output rates ran from $0.26 on DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731 to $15.00 across 16 paid models. Input is usually cheaper than output, so a long prompt with a short reply costs less than the output rate suggests.
Which models can you run on Baseten?
16 text models are listed, and 9 of them match a model we score. The highest-scoring is Kimi K3 at 79. The table on this page has every model with its input, output and cached-input rate, the context window, and the date we read the price.
What are the alternatives to Baseten?
OpenRouter lists 9 of the same models and charges less output per token on 6 of them. Nebius Token Factory and DeepInfra also overlap. Price is only part of the choice: speed, rate limits and which model snapshot a host serves differ too.
