Cons
  • Smaller than major inference clouds
  • No self-hosting option
  • Cold starts still matter for ultra-low latency
  • Thinner ecosystem and enterprise tooling
  • Python-focused workflow only
  • Large, sometimes confusing product surface
  • Production inference costs scale with GPU choice and can be unpredictable
  • Overlapping ways to run models can confuse newcomers
  • Model quality on the Hub varies widely and is not curated
  • Enterprise features require a paid plan
