Frequently asked questions
Why does Replicate have cold starts?
Replicate spins up GPU containers on demand. If a model hasn't been used recently, the container is cold and takes 10-30s to start. Hypereal AI keeps popular models warm at all times.
How does fixed pricing compare to per-second billing?
With Replicate, a slow inference run costs more than a fast one. With Hypereal AI, you pay the same fixed price regardless of how long generation takes. No billing surprises.
Do I need a client library?
No. Standard REST API works with any HTTP client. No Replicate-specific SDK required. curl, Python requests, fetch — anything works.
