What this post added

Introduces 'Baseten for Model Labs' as a new distribution platform for closed-weight models. This platform provides managed inference infrastructure, handles billing, API keys, compliance, and compute procurement. It aims to increase visibility for model labs by listing their models in the Baseten Model Library, offering strong IP protection, and providing go-to-market support. The post also highlights partnerships with 15 model labs and their specific model offerings, such as Cartesia's Sonic (TTS) and Ink (STT), Gradiuim's real-time speech models, Inception's Mercury 2 diffusion LLM, NVIDIA's Nemotron ASR and BioNeMo, PyannoteAI's speaker intelligence model, SID.ai's specialized search LLM, Subconscious's long-horizon AI agent systems, and Synthefy's Nori tabular foundation model.
