Short answer

How can I run machine learning models through my AI?

Your AI searches the Replicate library for the specific model you need, selects a version, and starts the prediction job. You get the output directly in your conversation. This breakdown shows how the AI handles the model selection and execution steps.

The outcomes

What you get from your request

Depending on what you ask, your AI will produce one of these outcomes.

MODEL SEARCH

Found specific models

The AI identifies relevant models in the Replicate library based on your description. You get a list of options to choose from.

JOB STATUS

Live prediction tracking

The AI monitors the progress of your inference job. You'll know exactly when the model finishes processing your input.

OUTPUT DATA

Direct model results

Once the job finishes, the AI pulls the prediction data. You receive the final image, text, or file directly in your chat.

HUMAN INPUT

Refining the model

If the model isn't what you expected, you decide which version to use or how to adjust your prompt. The AI waits for your direction.

The workflow

What your AI does when <the thing arrives>.

The AI handles the technical handshakes with Replicate so you can focus on the prompt.

  1. Locate the model

    The AI scans the Replicate library to find the exact model or type of model you described.

    search_models

  2. Select a version

    After finding a model, the AI identifies the specific version or configuration required for your task.

    get_model_version

  3. Start the job

    The AI sends your input data to Replicate to begin the inference process.

    create_prediction

  4. Fetch the result

    The AI checks the status of the running job and retrieves the final output once it's ready.

    get_prediction

    Yes, as long as the model is available in the Replicate library, the AI can find and use it.

  • 04

    Will the AI automatically retry if a prediction fails?

    No. If a prediction fails, the AI will report the error to you, and you must decide whether to try again.
