Replicate
A hosted platform to run open models with one call
United States Platform & community Open source
WHAT IT IS
Replicate was founded in 2019 and offers a platform for running open models in the cloud. Users can package models as callable endpoints, covering image, video and speech generation.
Why it matters
It made "running an open model" a single API call, so trying and integrating image and video generators became nearly frictionless.
