Replicate, a platform for running machine learning models as APIs, has been acquired by Cloudflare. Founded in 2019 to make research models accessible to developers through tools like Cog, Replicate became a key infrastructure provider during the Stable Diffusion era. The acquisition enables integration with Cloudflare's network infrastructure, Workers, R2, and other services to build a comprehensive AI stack. The combined platform aims to support edge model execution, instant-booting Workers for model pipelines, and WebRTC streaming for model inputs and outputs.
