Replicate
by Replicate
Replicate is a platform for running open-source AI models (image generators, LLMs, audio tools, video models) via a simple API without managing any infrastructure. Developers deploy their own models or call thousands of community-published models with a few lines of code and pay per second of compute. It's the fastest way to add any open-source AI capability to an application without standing up a GPU server.

Developers use it to call models like Llama, Mistral, and Whisper at low cost, with pricing based on tokens consumed rather than reserved compute. It is a practical option for teams that want access to frontier open-source models without building their own serving stack.Added 2026-06-15developer_toolscode_generationinfrastructuredeploymentTogether AIFast cloud inference for open-source AI modelsAdded 2025-09-21developer_toolscode_generationinfrastructuredeploymentOpenRouterUnified API for 300+ AI models from every major providerAdded 2025-09-21developer_toolscode_generationinfrastructuredeploymentVertex AIGoogle Cloud's unified AI platform for building and deploying modelsAdded 2025-09-21developer_toolscode_generationinfrastructuredeployment
✨ Modalities
💬
Yes, requires free plan. Every hosted model takes a prompt (or structured input) via the HTTP API and playground.Text Input
🖼️
Yes, requires plus plan. Many models take reference images (FLUX, Seedream, etc.). You pass files/URLs in the API.Image Upload / Vision
🎨
Yes, requires plus plan. Hosts FLUX, Imagen, GPT Image, Recraft, and thousands of community image models. Billing is prepaid credit.Image Generation
🎙️
No. You can run TTS/STT models. That is not a conversational voice loop product.Voice Mode
🎥
Partial. Hosts caption and video models. Replicate itself does not “watch YouTube” as a chat product.Video Understanding
🎬
Partial. Hosts third-party video models via API; it is not a first-party video studio.Video Generation
📁
Partial. API inputs include images, zip datasets for training. Not a PDF chat uploader.File Upload (PDF, DOCX)
💻
No. You call models. Cog packages your code; that is deploy, not a user Python sandbox in chat.Code Execution
