baseten · x · 2026-09-11
Baseten has acquired Blaxel, an agent infrastructure startup, with the stated goal of building "the cloud for the next trillion agents."
- Baseten provides model training and serving infrastructure known for performance and reliability.
- Blaxel built the stateful execution layer agents need to act: fast isolated sandboxes, persistent storage, and production-grade connectivity.
The combined platform will let teams train models, serve inference, and build long-running agents in one integrated stack, expanding Baseten from model infrastructure into agent infrastructure.
