Replicate lets you run open-source models (Llama, Stable Diffusion, Whisper) via API without managing GPUs. Push your own models with Cog or use community models. Pay only for compute time.
Reviewer scorecard
“Claude on Bedrock with VPC endpoints and IAM auth is the enterprise standard. Knowledge Bases for RAG are production-ready.”
“The easiest way to run open-source models without managing infrastructure. One API call to run Llama, Whisper, or any custom model. Cold starts can be slow though.”
“If you're on AWS, Bedrock is the obvious choice. Cross-model compatibility and guardrails reduce risk.”
“Cold start latency is the main issue — first request can take 10-30 seconds. Fine for batch jobs, problematic for real-time. But the convenience factor is huge.”
“AWS's distribution advantage means Bedrock will be how most enterprises consume AI models.”
“Replicate is making open-source AI as easy to use as closed APIs. That is the right mission at the right time.”
