Usage

Authenticate via baseten auth login, or set BASETEN_API_KEY in the environment.

Run baseten --help (or baseten <command> --help) for the full command tree.

Deploying Models

From inside a model directory containing a config.yaml:

baseten model push

The directory defaults to the current working directory and is configurable via --dir. Useful flags:

• --tail streams build and runtime logs to stderr after the push completes.
• --wait blocks until the deployment reaches an active status and exits non-zero on terminal failure.

Calling a Model

baseten model predict --model-id <model-id> --data '{"prompt":"hello"}'

--model-name is also accepted. Pass --file <path> (or --file - for stdin) to send a request body from a file.

Viewing Logs

baseten model deployment logs --model-id <model-id> --deployment-id <deployment-id> --tail

Omit --tail and pass --since 1h (or --start/--end) to fetch a historical window.

Run baseten --help for more, and see docs.baseten.co for general Baseten platform documentation.
