Key quotes
· 4 pulledWe're happy to announce that as of today Replicate is officially part of Cloudflare.
When we started Replicate in 2019, OpenAI had just open sourced GPT-2, and few people outside of the machine learning community paid much attention to AI.
Remarkable models were being created in academic labs, but you needed a metaphorical lab coat to be able to run them.
We made it our mission to get research models out of the lab into the hands of developers.
Today, we’re excited to announce that Replicate is officially part of Cloudflare. We wanted to share a bit about our journey and why we made this decision.
