Overview
Replicate is a platform for running and deploying open-source machine learning models via a hosted API. Developers can run thousands of community models with one line of code, or push their own using the open-source Cog packaging tool. Pricing is usage-based by compute time.

Frequently asked questions
What does Replicate do?
Replicate runs and deploys open-source machine learning models through a hosted, pay-as-you-go API.
What is Cog?
Cog is Replicate's open-source tool for packaging machine learning models into deployable containers.
How is Replicate priced?
