Cog

Packages AI models into ready-to-run containers so they're easier to put online.

New this week

What it does

Cog helps researchers turn an AI model into a standard container, a sealed package that runs the same way anywhere. You describe the model's setup in a simple settings file and its inputs and outputs in Python.

Cog then builds the package, sorts out tricky graphics-card software versions, and adds a web interface so other programs can send it requests.

The result can run on your own servers or on Replicate, the company that makes Cog.

Who it's for
