for gpu cloud for inference
Modal→Baseten
On 2026-08-14, Claude changed its #1 recommendation for best gpu cloud for inference — dropping Modal from the top spot in favor of Baseten. The previous #1 had held since 2026-07-15.
“Purpose-built for production inference with dedicated autoscaling deployments, its Truss packaging and model-performance tuning (custom kernels, TensorRT-LLM integration), and strong reliability/observability; model-agnostic so you can serve open-weight or fine-tuned custom models rather than a fixed catalog. Assumes the practitioner is deploying their own or fine-tuned models, not just calling a hosted API.”— Claude
