Oh My Pi just integrated Baseten as a first-class model provider — and it’s a bigger deal than it sounds.
Baseten is the inference platform that’s bridged the gap between open-source and closed-source models. With Baseten, models like Llama 3, Qwen, DeepSeek, and Mistral run at speeds that rival GPT-4o and Claude. The catch was you needed a separate integration. Until now.
What Baseten Brings to Oh My Pi
Speed — Baseten runs open models on optimized inference hardware. Response times on par with OpenAI, but with MIT-licensed models.
Scale — Autoscaling from zero to hundreds of concurrent requests. No cold starts, no queue waits.
Choice — The full catalog of open-source models, updated as soon as new ones drop. Your Oh My Pi agent can now use any of them.
Cost — Pay-per-token pricing that’s often cheaper than closed providers, especially for high-volume usage.
The Provider Landscape
Oh My Pi already supports OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Groq, OpenRouter, and local models. Adding Baseten fills a gap: the fast open-model category. Previously, users who wanted open models had to choose between slow local inference or complicated self-hosting. Baseten makes open models as convenient as closed ones.
What This Means
This is part of a broader trend: coding agents are becoming model-agnostic in practice, not just in theory. Baseten support means Oh My Pi users can choose the best model for each task without worrying about infrastructure.
In a world where inference speed and model choice matter more than API brand loyalty, provider integrations like this are the competitive advantage that matters.
