AI SDK - Replicate Provider

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

Setup

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

bash

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:

shell

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',
    },
  },
});
