About Replicate
What is Replicate?
Replicate (founded in 2019 and headquartered in San Francisco) offers a cloud platform that enables developers, researchers, and product teams to access and run a vast library of open-source models—spanning text, image, audio, video and more—through a unified API, with zero-server setup. The platform emphasizes simplicity, letting users call models with minimal code (e.g., via Python/Node SDKs or HTTP endpoints) while handling containers, dependencies, GPUs, scaling and billing automatically. It supports pay-as-you-go billing (per-second compute) and auto-scaling from zero to millions of requests. With versioned models, community sharing, and deployment of custom models (via tools like Cog), Replicate bridges the gap between research and production for AI-driven applications.
