wonderful to see everything about AI is accelerating,
Bloomberg just reported Baseten is set to raise about 30B, more than doubling its June valuation.
Inferencing demand has moved fast, with Baseten’s annualized revenue reportedly tripling from 600M in the first quarter of 2026.
A $30B price, about 50 times that reported run rate, assumes inference spending keeps outgrowing training as agents burn more compute per task.
Its closest rival, Fireworks AI, raised 17.5B valuation in July.
