What we love

Where it falls short

  • −Latency on cold starts can exceed 30 seconds
  • −No first-party UI for end users
  • −Pricing per second of compute is hard to predict for variable loads

Why we picked it

Replicate is the cheat code for shipping features built on open-source models without renting a GPU yourself. The API surface is the same whether you are calling Flux or a custom-fine-tuned model.
