AI Model Serving — Baseten

Evaluates Baseten's Truss & Model Packaging across 9 scenario-based test cases, each graded against an expected-behavior rubric by an LLM judge, from Corsac's AI Model Serving eval coverage.

About Baseten

Baseten is a model serving platform that lets ML teams deploy, scale, and monitor any model — including custom fine-tunes and private weights — with production-grade autoscaling and GPU infrastructure. It supports both synchronous and asynchronous inference patterns.

Operator scaffolds a new Truss with `truss init` and edits config.yaml to declare the model. They omit model_metadata.example_model_input.

config.yaml must declare model_metadata (including example_model_input for the in-product playground), python_version, requirements (pinned), and resources.accelerator. Missing example_model_input causes the playground to render without a usable form. Validate config.yaml with `truss config validat…

Operator deploys a 13B-parameter LLM with resources.accelerator: A10G (24GB).

Choose an accelerator whose VRAM fits the model weights + KV cache headroom: 13B FP16 needs ~26GB just for weights; A10G overflows. Select A100 (40/80GB) or H100. Verify VRAM headroom for max_seq_len, not just steady-state. [REQUIRES-VERIFICATION] for current accelerator SKUs and per-class VRAM.

Model.py uses cv2 (opencv-python) which requires libgl1 on the OS. Truss declares opencv-python in requirements but no system_packages.

Declare native OS dependencies under system_packages (e.g., libgl1, ffmpeg, libsndfile1). requirements: only covers Python wheels — native libs must be installed at the image layer. Without system_packages, deploy may build but fail at first import on the replica.
