    Why switch from Replicate

    Much faster output for the open LLMs it hosts, with an OpenAI-compatible API and a free tier.

    Pros

    • Very high output speed on its own inference hardware
    • OpenAI-compatible API, so switching takes a base URL change
    • Free tier for prototyping, pay-as-you-go above it
    • Batch API at half the normal token price

    Cons

    • Curated model list, far smaller than Replicate or Together AI
    • Some models are enterprise-only with sales pricing
    • Free tier rate limits are tight for real workloads
