01Anyscale 489 current versus Groq 1 open job
The citeable contrast is Anyscale's 489 mapped current profiles versus Groq's 1 mapped open job. OpenAI, Anthropic, and Cerebras are not in this table.
Mapped current: Anyscale 489, Groq 393, Together AI 280. Mapped open jobs: Baseten 166, Together AI 52, Fireworks AI 47. The two rankings are not the same board.
Anyscale's 489 mapped current profiles versus Groq's 1 mapped open job is the citeable contrast. Groq's own mapped current count is 393; its mapped open-job count is still 1. This is not a valuation and not search volume.
Baseten maps 189 current profiles and 166 open jobs. Among these five, that is the closest pair of bench and job book at the same order of magnitude. Groq is the other pole: 393 versus 1.
Together AI, Groq, and Anyscale names can collide, so these figures are not a single legal entity's headcount. Fireworks AI and Baseten names are cleaner.
02The five-name sums are 1,508 current and 280 jobs
The composition figure uses only the given sums: mapped current 1,508, mapped open jobs 280. Segment width = this row / that sum. The table below is the citeable source.
03Baseten 166 jobs sits next to 189 current
Two columns per company, sharing this table's max current height of 489. Baseten's pair is the closest; Groq's open-job column is 1.
04Groq 393 versus 1 is the long line
Groq 393 versus 1 and Anyscale 489 versus 14 sit on one line each (8/23). This figure is the current-to-jobs pair, not a second five-name dump.
| Company | Mapped current | Mapped open jobs |
|---|---|---|
| Fireworks AI | 157 | 47 |
| Together AI | 280 | 52 |
| Groq | 393 | 1 |
| Baseten | 189 | 166 |
| Anyscale | 489 | 14 |
| Sum | 1,508 | 280 |

OpenAI, Anthropic, and Cerebras are not inference-serving rows in this table.
06How these inference-serving counts were mapped
Current-profile method
The figures are profiles Metix maps as currently employed at that company name, not official global headcount.
Open-job method
The figures are visible open jobs Metix maps to that company name — a floor, not every posting on earth.
Name collision
Together AI, Groq, and Anyscale names can collide. Fireworks AI and Baseten names are cleaner.
