AI SDK - Replicate Provider

The Replicate provider for the AI SDK contains image model support for the Replicate API.

Deploying to Vercel? With Vercel's AI Gateway you can access Replicate (and hundreds of models from other providers) — no additional packages, API keys, or extra cost. Get started with AI Gateway.

Setup

The Replicate provider is available in the @ai-sdk/replicate module. You can install it with

npm i @ai-sdk/replicate

Skill for Coding Agents

If you use coding agents such as Claude Code or Cursor, we highly recommend adding the AI SDK skill to your repository:

npx skills add vercel/ai

Usage

import { replicate } from '@ai-sdk/replicate';
import { generateImage } from 'ai';

const { image } = await generateImage({
  model: replicate.image('black-forest-labs/flux-schnell'),
  prompt: 'The Loch Ness Monster getting a manicure',
});

const filename = `image-${Date.now()}.png`;
fs.writeFileSync(filename, image.uint8Array);
console.log(`Image saved to ${filename}`);

If you want to pass additional inputs to the model besides the prompt, use the providerOptions.replicate property:

const { image } = await generateImage({
  model: replicate.image('recraft-ai/recraft-v3'),
  prompt: 'The Loch Ness Monster getting a manicure',
  size: '1365x1024',
  providerOptions: {
    replicate: {
      style: 'realistic_image',
    },
  },
});
