## Description

Platform for deploying and serving open-source and custom AI models, with developer documentation at docs.baseten.co.

## AI-native score: Unrated

Research coverage is 38/100. An AI-native grade requires 40/100. The provisional breakdown below shows the AI-native signals recorded so far. The AI-native score measures agent-readiness and is not a substitute for your own security or vendor-risk review. See [methodology](/methodology/) for how coverage and the grade are computed.

| Component | Applies | Raw | Effective weight | Nominal weight | Contribution |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Integration | Yes | 2/10 | 35% | 35% | 7.0 |
| Trust | Yes | 1/6 | 30% | 30% | 5.0 |
| Portability | Yes | 3/4 | 20% | 20% | 15.0 |
| Security | Yes | 2/4 | 15% | 15% | 7.5 |

- **Integration signals:** API spec, OpenAPI / gRPC / GraphQL (+1); Command-line interface (+1)
- **Trust signals:** Zero data retention (available, +1)
- **Portability signals:** Standard protocol access (+1); No proprietary-SDK lock-in (+1); Self-hostable (+1)
- **Security signals:** Compliance certifications (+1); Access controls — RBAC / ABAC (+1)

## Confirmed absences

These decision fields were researched and confirmed absent — not available based on current evidence, until contrary information supersedes the finding. Each carries the check performed, the page checked, and the date, so you can act on the negative without repeating the research. A label-scoped absence applies only to its label (e.g. no SOC 2 does not mean no certifications).

- **A2A servers** — confirmed absent (whole field), checked 2026-10-13. Checked the developer integration documentation index for Agent2Agent protocol endpoints or Agent Cards; none is documented. Source: https://docs.baseten.co/_llms/documentation.txt
- **Web-MCP** — confirmed absent (whole field), checked 2026-10-13. Checked the developer integration documentation index for browser WebMCP modelContext integration; none is documented. Source: https://docs.baseten.co/_llms/documentation.txt

## Security & Compliance

We confirm that cited vendor pages support these certification claims; we do not independently audit the reports. A shared trust or security page can support several certifications. We do not require separate public report links because reports may require login, vendor approval, or a nondisclosure agreement. Ask the vendor for reports and applicable coverage before a procurement decision. These listings expose no per-claim check date; the entry's updated date does not date the supporting evidence.

- **Compliance certifications:** Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, System and Organization Controls 2
- **Access controls:** Role-Based Access Control
