Short answer

How can I run ML models through my AI?

Your AI uses the Replicate MCP to send model inputs and monitor the status of the run. You'll get direct access to the output URLs once the model finishes. This breakdown shows how your agent handles the entire lifecycle from trigger to result.

The outcomes.

Where your model runs land.

The AI manages the heavy lifting of the execution and keeps you updated on the results.

EXECUTION

Model runs start

Your AI sends the parameters to Replicate. It handles the initial request and starts the process immediately.

MONITORING

Status tracking

The AI checks if the model is still processing or if it's finished. You don't have to manually refresh a dashboard.

DELIVERY

Output URLs ready

Once the run completes, the AI pulls the specific URL for your generated image or data. You get the link right in your chat.

HUMAN

Manual intervention

If a run hangs or you change your mind, you tell your AI to stop it. The AI handles the cancellation for you.

The workflow

What your AI does when a prediction is requested.

The AI acts as the bridge between your text instructions and the Replicate infrastructure.

  1. Trigger the run

    Your AI takes your description or parameters and sends them to the model to begin processing.

    create_prediction

  2. Check progress

    The AI periodically asks for the current status to see if the model is still working.

    get_prediction

  3. Review history

    If you need to find a previous run or check what's currently active, the AI looks through your recent activity.

    list_predictions

  4. Stop a run

    If a model is taking too long or you made a mistake, the AI kills the process.

    cancel_prediction

FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can my AI change the model settings on Replicate?

    No. The AI can only pass the parameters you provide in your prompt to the model.

  • 02

    Will the AI delete my previous prediction history?

    No. The AI can list and view predictions, but it does not have a tool to delete them.

  • 03

    How do I get the image or file produced by the model?

    The AI retrieves the output URL from the prediction once it reaches a finished state.

  • 04

    Can the AI start a run on its own?

    No. The AI only triggers a prediction when you explicitly ask it to via your chat.

  • 05

    Can I stop a model that is already running?

    Yes. You can tell your AI to cancel a specific prediction if it is still in progress.
