Replicate
Replicate is a cloud platform that lets developers run, fine-tune, and deploy open-source machine learning models via a simple API. Founded in 2019 by Ben Firshman (formerly led open source product at Docker) and Andreas Jansson (formerly ML engineer at Spotify), Replicate hosts a catalog of tens of thousands of community and production-ready models spanning image, video, audio, and language generation. The company is a Y Combinator alum and became part of Cloudflare on 1 December 2025, when Cloudflare completed its acquisition and began folding Replicate's model catalog into its Workers AI platform.
