Cloudflare agrees to acquire Replicate
The proposed acquisition combines Replicate's model catalog and deployment tooling with Cloudflare's developer platform.
Cloudflare agreed to acquire Replicate, the platform for deploying and calling AI models through hosted endpoints. The announcement sets out plans to bring its model catalog and deployment experience into Cloudflare's developer platform.
Models alongside application hosting
Cloudflare said it planned to make Replicate's catalog available to Workers AI applications. Replicate's expertise would also support custom models and pipelines, expanding the kinds of inference work available through Cloudflare.
For teams building an application around several models, the planned combination brings application hosting and model access closer together.
Planned integration after the agreement
The announcement described future capabilities rather than an immediate conversion of every Replicate deployment. Cloudflare expected the acquisition to close within two months, subject to customary conditions. The Replicate profile covers its hosted model catalog, custom deployments, and billing model.
