About Replicate
Replicate runs machine learning models behind an API so you do not have to run them yourself. You pick a model, call it, and pay for the time it takes; there is no GPU to provision and nothing to keep warm.
The catalogue is thousands of models, most contributed by the open-source community, plus a range of proprietary ones. Most are billed by the hardware and the seconds they run, some by what goes in and comes out, and the pricing page states which applies to each.
You can also push your own model with Cog, Replicate's packaging tool, and get the same API and scaling as everything else on the platform. That is the usual path from a working notebook to something a product can call.

Co-founder & CEO
Ben Firshman built The Guardian's award-winning iPad app and worked on the early GOV.UK, running its first A/B test. In 2013 he founded Orchard and created Fig, which became Docker Compose, then joined Docker as director of product management for its open-source projects. Replicate came from his frustration at having to rebuild machine learning models from scratch out of papers.
