Replicate

Run open-source AI models — image generation, video, audio, fine-tuned models — via a simple API.

Replicate hosts thousands of open-source models with a unified API. Common for image generation (FLUX, SDXL), video generation, and specialty fine-tunes.

Full walkthrough being written.

Common uses

• Image generation (FLUX, Stable Diffusion)
• Video generation (LTX-Video, AnimateDiff)
• Custom fine-tuned models
• Specialty audio models
