🚀 Baseten Secures $300 Million Funding, Valuation Reaches $5 Billion

Baseten, a startup specializing in artificial intelligence inference, has successfully raised $300 million in funding, according to ChainCatcher. The Wall Street Journal, citing informed sources, reported that the company's valuation has now reached $5 billion, nearly doubling its previous valuation.

The funding round was led by venture capital firm IVP and Alphabet's independent growth fund, CapitalG. Chip giant Nvidia also participated in the investment, contributing $150 million as part of the deal. This transaction highlights Nvidia's strategic focus on startups within the AI inference sector.

As the industry's focus shifts from training models to large-scale operations and inference—where AI models generate outputs based on inputs—Nvidia is increasing its investments in related startups while continuing to support its AI chip clientele.
