Replicate
Run and fine-tune thousands of open-source ML models via a simple pay-per-second API; now part of Cloudflare.
Last verified:
Replicate lets developers run, fine-tune, and deploy thousands of public and custom machine-learning models (image, video, text, audio) through a simple REST API and Cog, its open-source model-packaging format, billed per second of compute or per output unit with no idle charges. Founded in San Francisco in 2019 (YC W20) by Ben Firshman and Andreas Jansson, Replicate raised a $40M Series B led by a16z before being acquired by Cloudflare (announced November 2025), and continues to operate under its own brand and API. It offers official Python and JavaScript SDKs, a public OpenAPI spec, and an official alpha-stage MCP server (built by Stainless) for coding agents.
