@comlaterra @advany @dok2001 @replicate @Cloudflare Mentioned this on Discord but we're fixing these models. We're also working on a rewrite of the backend of Replicate on Cloudflare's platform that's going to make it so much faster and more reliable.

@comlaterra @advany @dok2001 @replicate @Cloudflare There have been some hiccups in the transition but I want you to know that we're 100% behind Replicate. As the person who made Replicate it's so important to me that this thing is lasting and is prosperous.

Congrats to an amazing group of humans!
Replicate was the first job I truly loved and I learned so much from seeing @bfirsh @allnoteson and all my other deeply clever, funny, kind coworkers (and now friends) up close.
Can’t wait to see what’s next!

Big news: Replicate is joining Cloudflare. Replicate's going to carry on as a distinct brand, and all that will happen is that it’s going to get way better: it’ll be faster, we’ll have more resources, and it’ll integrate with the rest of Cloudflare’s Developer Platform. replicate.com/blog/replicate…

@flippnflops @replicate I keep on saying to everyone that I'm going to push to get gather deployed company wide at cloudflare. Everyone thinks I'm joking. 👀

@flippnflops @replicate I know I've told you this a few times now but I am not overstating it when I say that gather has completely transformed how we work. Thank you. Really. We love it so much.

cloudflare is building the ai cloud that will power the future of ai applications!
excited to do it with the best team @replicate and give developers access to a 50,000+ model catalog and incredible tools to build their AI apps!

The interface of the future is human.
We’ve raised a $40M Series B from CRV, Scale, Sequoia, and YC to teach machines the art of being human, so that using a computer feels like talking to a friend or a coworker.
And today, I’m excited for y’all to meet the PALs: a new human-computing interface.
PALs are emotionally intelligent, multimodal, and capable of understanding and perceiving. They can see, hear, reason, and even look like us.
We’re releasing our 5 favorite PALs to start. Each PAL has its own distinct personality- from AI assistants to best friends.
PALs:
- Meet us where we are. Face-to-face over video call, on the phone, or even by text.
- Are always thinking. They’re proactive, reach out first, remind you about what you forgot, or might just check in on you.
- Understand us, finally. PALs can see us, understand our tone, emotion, and intent, and communicate in ways that feel more human.
- Evolve with you. PALs have advanced memory, remember your preferences and needs, and adapt themselves over time.
- Are capable. PALs can handle complex tasks — from responding to your emails to moving your schedule around to creating docs and doing research for you.
Science fiction promised us a new human-computer interface, beyond the GUIs of yesterday, a human-like interface that would feel second-nature to use. That future never came, until now.
Charlie’s story brings this idea to life.
We’re excited for you to meet Charlie and his PALs for free at tavus.io
Enjoy the film 👇

@replicate would love if you would not ignore my support messages. its so freaking easy to send me the invoice for the 100$ you billed me wth

@bernhardsson @swyx @stevenkplus1 I used Mercurial before Git, and I still prefer the CLI: github.com/sympy/sympy/wi…
E.g. instead of the insanity that is checkout/reset, it has several distinct commands that do what they say, each for distinct objects. (Why does checkout switch branches *and* revert files?!)

English

@swyx @stevenkplus1 Mostly that I’ve used it for 15 years and I still get confused all the time and have to google things

@RijnHartman @replicate Which model is this? Most of the models on Replicate are contributed by the community so might be something we have to ask the author to fix :)
English

Tooltips on these would help people use/understand models a lot better @replicate 🙏 (not just these, any options) - maybe a setting we can toggle?

English

I like Cog from @replicate it's a wholesome improvement over python/pyproject.toml/requirements.txt/Pipfile/etc. but even so I tried to build one Cog last night and after 34 built layers in Docker it still failed to run
