US Est. 2023 Active Backend-as-a-Service

Our Verdict

A credible serverless GPU option for ML inference, especially when cold starts must stay tiny.

Pros

  • Sub-second cold starts on GPUs
  • Autoscaling tuned for ML inference
  • Fast model deployment workflow

Cons

  • Newer player vs Replicate and Modal
  • Cost predictability takes tuning
  • Limited non-inference use cases
Best for: ML teams serving models with spiky, latency-sensitive traffic Not for: Always-on training jobs or simple CPU-only APIs

When to Use Inferless

Good fit if you need

  • Deploying custom ML models via API with sub-second cold starts
  • Serverless GPU inference for LLMs and diffusion models
  • Autoscaling ML model endpoints without managing GPU clusters
  • Deploying Python model pipelines as REST APIs in minutes
  • Cost-efficient inference billing per-request on shared GPUs
