Quick takeaways
Base 10 offers a scalable infrastructure for deploying and hosting AI models, abstracting away complexities of scaling, observability, and security.
Open source models have revolutionized the AI landscape, enabling widespread adoption across industries, but managing them requires careful consideration of latency, security, privacy, and cost.
Deep dives
Base 10 focuses on infrastructure challenges of hosting AI models
Base 10 provides solutions to the infrastructure challenges of hosting AI models in production. They offer an open source library called Trust that simplifies the process of containerizing models, handling version management, and providing workflow support. Base 10 aims to save users time and effort by abstracting away the complexities of scaling, observability, and security. They also enable A/B testing, facilitate model rollbacks, and offer features such as logging and observability. Base 10's approach helps users achieve faster time-to-production and maintain production-grade inference.
The rise of open source models and the emergence of vibrant ML communities
The availability of open source models and the growth of vibrant machine learning communities, such as Hugging Face, have changed the AI landscape. Open source models have dissolved long-standing problems and brought about advancements in areas like transcription and multi-language support. These developments have allowed for the widespread adoption of machine learning across various industries. However, managing open source models can be challenging, as verifying their effectiveness and ensuring efficient deployment in production requires careful consideration of latency, security, privacy, and cost. Base 10 aims to address these challenges and provide a reliable and scalable infrastructure for deploying and hosting models.
The need for reliable and scalable AI infrastructure
As the adoption of machine learning and AI becomes more prevalent across industries, the demand for reliable and scalable infrastructure increases. Building and managing infrastructure to deploy models in production can be complex, requiring expertise in containerization, scaling, security, benchmarking, version management, and more. Base 10 is a solution that removes the burden of infrastructure management, enabling engineers to focus on their models and products. By providing a platform for deployment, version control, observability, and logging, Base 10 allows users to accelerate their time-to-market and ensure production-grade performance of their AI applications.
Future trends: Fine-tuning, multi-cluster, and edge deployment
Looking ahead, Base 10 is excited about future trends in AI infrastructure. They plan to delve into the area of fine-tuning models, giving users more control and customization options. Additionally, they are working on enabling multi-cluster deployments, allowing users to bring their own compute while leveraging Base 10's control plane. This empowers enterprises to have self-hosted solutions with a unified management interface. Base 10 also recognizes the potential of edge deployment, although it currently remains in the early stages. They see opportunities in building frameworks, tooling, and addressing generalization challenges to make edge deployment more accessible and efficient.
We’re excited to have Tuhin join us on the show once again to talk about self-hosting open access models. Tuhin’s company Baseten specializes in model deployment and monitoring at any scale, and it was a privilege to talk with him about the trends he is seeing in both tooling and usage of open access models. We were able to touch on the common use cases for integrating self-hosted models and how the boom in generative AI has influenced that ecosystem.
