Best AI infrastructure for builders for MVP-stage startups.
Builders working with LLMs and agents need a different kind of catalog: composable, self-serve, OSS-friendly, priced per-token or per-query. Magpie covers vector DBs (Pinecone), inference (Together AI, Groq, Hugging Face), observability (Helicone, Langfuse), web search APIs (Tavily), and self-hostable model runners (Ollama, Replicate). Picks favour generous free tiers and OSS-first products. At this layer of the stack, lock-in is expensive. At MVP stage, infrastructure for builders need to grow with the product through seed and Series A without a forced migration. The picks below are weighted toward composability and clear price tiers.
