| Notes | Native REST API (predictions endpoints: POST /v1/models/{owner}/{name}/predictions), not confirmed OpenAI-compatible — the two official pages fetched this pass did not document any OpenAI-compatible chat endpoint, so compatibility.openai_chat is left unknown rather than false. Billing is per-second of hardware time or per-token depending on model. cheahjs README does not list Replicate. |
