Workflow

1. Search or browse collections to build a shortlist of candidate models.
2. Fetch each model's schema to compare inputs, outputs, and capabilities.
3. Check pricing from model metadata or the Replicate website.
4. Run a small batch of test predictions to compare output quality.
5. Pick the model that best fits your constraints (cost, latency, quality).

What to compare

• Speed: Check metrics.predict_time on completed predictions for actual inference time. Official models are always warm. Community models can cold-boot.
