FAQ

How does Replicate's pricing work?

Replicate uses a pay-as-you-go model. For public models, you pay only for the active processing time. For most private models, you pay for all the time instances are online (setup, idle, active). Some models are billed by hardware and time, others by input and output tokens/images/video seconds.

Can I deploy my own custom AI models on Replicate?

Yes, you can deploy your own custom models using Cog, Replicate's open-source tool for packaging machine learning models. These are considered private models.

What kind of hardware is available for running models?

Replicate offers a range of hardware options including CPU (Small, Standard) and various Nvidia GPUs such as A100 (80GB), H100, L40S, and T4, with options for single or multiple GPU configurations.
