Replicate Deployments vs Together GPU Clusters

Replicate Deployments 75

Replicate incidents post under a Replicate component on cloudflarestatus.com, and replicatestatus.com redirects to that page filtered to Replicate (20). The component's 90-day bars, read on 2 November, show 5 days with incidents, all in September 2026, and none since 28 September. Some third-party models couldn't scale out for 15 hours 41 minutes on 14 and 15 September, a Pruna-specific issue ran 20 hours on 17 September, backend services returned intermittent 500s for 1 hour 54 minutes on 24 September, and hot-swapped Flux models stuck for 17 minutes on 28 September. Each names a subset of models or intermittent errors, so each reads as partial, minor only (20). 600 prediction creates a minute, 3,000 a minute on other endpoints, and 6 a minute without a card, re-read on 2 November (15). A 429 body says when the limit resets ('resets in ~30s') and the error-code page gives retry advice per code, but there's no Retry-After header or idempotency guidance (10 of 15). No SLA found (0). Deployments are GA (10). 20 + 20 + 15 + 10 + 0 + 10 = 75.

Together GPU Clusters 38

Read with the hosted lines. status.together.ai lists the website, the playground and serverless models with no component for GPU clusters, and a vendor page with no component for the product takes 15 in this run, as for Together's Code Sandbox and fine-tuning listings (15). No incident history for clusters can be read (5). No rate limits for the clusters API found (0). Together's docs give 429 and 503 backoff guidance for its APIs, per the inference listing's 1 November check, and the CLI has --non-interactive and --json for scripted retries, but creation has no idempotency key (8). No SLA for clusters found; the published 99% commitment covers provisioned inference throughput only (0). Generally available since 9 September 2025 and out of the CLI's beta paths since 22 October 2026, with preemptible nodes in preview (10). 15+5+0+8+0+10 = 38.

Replicate Deployments 40

Bearer tokens starting r8_, several per account, each can be disabled; no scopes or expiry, re-read on 2 November (20). No read-only or per-model token; every token can create, update and delete deployments (0). Returns your own model's output (10). No audit log or per-token usage view found; predictions are listed per account (5). Replicate scans public GitHub for leaked tokens, disables them and emails the owner. replicate.com/.well-known/security.txt answers 404, and no bug bounty or certification was found in the docs we read. OSV lists no advisory for the replicate packages, replicate-mcp or Cog (5). 20 + 0 + 10 + 5 + 5 = 40.

Together GPU Clusters 68

Project-scoped API keys, revocable with optional expiry, read as Together's other listings read the same key model (30). Admin and editor roles with no read-only role. Only admins get the admin kubeconfig, which has cluster-admin rights, and OIDC lets editors use kubectl under RBAC. Deletes run without confirmation when --non-interactive is passed (8). The API returns cluster state, not third-party content (10). Invoices itemise reserved, on-demand and storage charges, and no audit log for cluster operations was found (5). security.txt with a HackerOne route, per the 1 November check of the inference listing (15). 30+8+10+5+15 = 68.

Replicate Deployments 73

The MCP server exposes one tool per HTTP operation and has an experimental code mode that collapses them into two tools (search the SDK docs, run TypeScript) (20). List responses page with next and previous cursor URLs, the predictions list filters by created_after, created_before and source, and the models list sorts, but there is no page size or field selection (15 of 20; was 10, pagination not verified on 1 October). Coded errors with suggested fixes, detail messages on HTTP errors (15). No idempotency keys; Prefer: wait, a Cancel-After header, webhooks and cancel cut polling, and a failed run still bills its active time (8). Sensible defaults (min_instances 0 allowed) and official Python and JavaScript clients plus Cog (15). 20 + 15 + 15 + 8 + 15 = 73.

Together GPU Clusters 55

Cluster objects are compact, and --json gives machine-readable output, but list calls take no field selection (15). No pagination or filters on the clusters list (8). 402 and 403 with readable messages such as "Insufficient credits for cluster creation", and troubleshooting for common failures (12). Status polling until Ready is documented and deletes run non-interactively, but there is no idempotency key on creation and a duplicate create bills a second cluster (8). Official Python and TypeScript SDKs and a CLI, though a create takes GPU type, region, driver and CUDA versions, cluster type and billing type (12). 15+8+12+8+12 = 55.

Replicate Deployments 79

Closed service; Cog is Apache-2.0 (20). API prediction inputs, outputs, files and logs are deleted after one hour by default, web predictions are kept until deleted, and a subprocessor page is published, per the 1 October check, not re-read on 2 November (22). Dated deprecations in the changelog (streaming default in July 2024, spend limits in July 2025) but no written policy (12). Subprocessors listed; data locations not stated in what we read (15). 20 + 22 + 12 + 15 = 69.

Together GPU Clusters 65

Closed service under Together's terms, with Apache-2.0 SDKs, which don't raise the line for a closed API (15). The privacy policy's data table covers GPU clusters, per the 4 November Code Sandbox check, and the billing page states when volumes are deleted after credit runs out, with no retention period for data on deleted clusters (15). The 3.0 breaking change came with a migration guide on the day, and reservations carry dated end-of-term emails, with no notice period for API changes found (8). Regions are listed through the API and US regions appear in examples; subprocessors and data locations for clusters were not established (8). 15+15+8+8 = 46.

Replicate Deployments 30

No machine payment protocol (0). Per-second prices for each hardware SKU published without a login, re-read on 2 November, now with a small CPU tier at $0.09 an hour and H200 SKUs on committed-spend contracts (20). Accounts without a card can run predictions at up to 6 a minute; private deployments still bill set-up and idle time (10 of 20). Signup is a browser flow (0). 0 + 20 + 10 + 0 = 30.

Together GPU Clusters 20

No machine payment protocol (0). Per GPU-hour prices for each capacity type and per GiB-month storage published without a login (20). No free trial, and creation needs credit for the full reservation or a minimum on-demand period (0). Sign-up and credit purchase are browser steps (0). 0+20+0+0 = 20.

Replicate Deployments 85

Public OpenAPI 3.1.0 at api.replicate.com/openapi.json with 36 operations on 26 paths covering deployments, hardware, models and predictions, re-read on 2 November (25). llms.txt with Markdown pages (10). Operation descriptions in the spec explain purpose with curl examples; deployment docs say when to use a deployment rather than a model version (16). Deployment fields are bounded (min_instances 0 to 5, max_instances 0 to 20, a 64-character version, a hardware SKU from GET /v1/hardware) (13). Examples throughout and 8 coded errors (E1001 out of memory, E6716 start timeout and others) with fixes; the HTTP error body format isn't described (11). Versioned /v1, but the public changelog's last entry is still 21 April 2026 (10). 25 + 10 + 16 + 13 + 11 + 10 = 85.

Together GPU Clusters 92

Public OpenAPI 3.1 for /v1/compute/clusters and shared volumes, MIT, embedded in every reference page (25). llms.txt and a Markdown twin of every page (10). The docs say when to choose Kubernetes or Slurm and each capacity type, and the management page carries instructions for agents on reporting live availability and prices (18). Enums for cluster type, billing type, GPU type and status, required fields marked (13). CLI, Python, TypeScript and console steps on each task, with 402 and 403 cases documented, though no error catalogue for the clusters API (11). Versioned SDKs and a dated changelog with cluster entries (15). 25+10+18+13+11+15 = 92.
