Thousands of open-source and proprietary models billed by execution time or output tokens/images

  • Run public models
  • Text-to-image generation
  • Image editing and restoration
  • Video generation
  • Speech generation
  • Large language models
  • Music generation

Private Models

$0.09–$20.16/hr depending on hardware

Deploy custom models on dedicated hardware. Billed for all uptime (setup, idle, and processing)

  • Dedicated hardware (no shared queue)
  • Auto-scaling
  • Custom model deployment
  • Hourly billing available

Fast Booting Fine-Tunes

The vioscaleAI score: one lens on the evidence

Not user reviews and not a paid placement: a confidence-weighted blend of the independent signals below (adoption, activity, security posture, and more), which you can sort and re-weight yourself. Vendors can correct their listing but can never move their rank, and stars are weighted low as a vanity metric. It is one way to read the evidence for Replicate, not the verdict.
