Replicate
Replicate is a platform that lets developers run machine learning models with a simple API call. It hosts thousands of open-source models for text generation, image creation, audio processing, and video manipulation. The platform handles the infrastructure, scaling, and GPU management. Users can run predictions with existing models, deploy custom models, or train models with their own data. Replicate's architecture allows for both synchronous and asynchronous processing, with support for webhooks and output streaming.
