Replicate

Cloud platform that lets you run AI models through simple API calls without managing infrastructure or GPU servers.

What is Replicate?

Replicate is a cloud platform that runs thousands of open-source AI models through simple API calls.

Instead of setting up GPU servers or managing model deployments, you send a request to Replicate and get results back. They handle all the infrastructure.

Most builders use it to add image generation, voice cloning, video processing, or other AI features to their apps without becoming ML engineers. You can run Stable Diffusion, FLUX, Whisper, or any model in their library with a few lines of code.

Pay-per-use pricing starts around $0.0002 per second of compute time. Popular alternative is Hugging Face Inference API.
