  • Supports LLMs, pipelines, and job queues
  • Self-host or use managed cloud
Cons
  • No always-free plan; usage-based costs accrue
  • GPU costs can add up at scale
  • Python-centric workflow
  • Cold starts possible when scaling from zero
  • Requires ML/infra familiarity
  • BentoCloud GPU costs scale with usage
  • Acquired by Modular AI (Feb 2026) — pricing may shift
