Run open-source AI models without managing infrastructure
Replicate lets you run open source AI models via API. Thousands of community-contributed models. Pay per prediction. Run Stable Diffusion, Llama, Whisper, and more with one API call.
Replicate provides a REST API to run thousands of open-source ML models with automatic scaling and pay-per-use pricing. You get model versioning, webhooks for async processing, and a Python client. No containers to build, no GPUs to provision—push input, get output. Useful for image generation, video processing, audio synthesis, and text tasks.
