Clarifai
End-to-end AI platform for vision, language, and multimodal apps. Offers serverless inference, training, and model hosting with token-based pricing and enterprise governance.
Clarifai has been discontinued. The product was shut down, absorbed into another company, or now operates under a different brand. The information below is kept for reference and may describe the tool as it was.
Overview
Clarifai provides an AI platform that spans data labeling, model training, evaluation, and serverless or dedicated inference. Builders can choose from hundreds of open- and closed-source models or deploy their own, then wire guardrails and workflows via API. Pricing is token-based with plan credits, including a low-cost Developer tier for experimentation and enterprise options with dedicated nodes and SLAs.
Organizations use Clarifai to power content moderation, visual search, document intelligence, and multimodal RAG. Integrations to clouds and MLOps tools plus audit logs, RBAC, and private networking help meet compliance. The marketplace and Model Mesh speed selection and deployment so teams move from prototype to production faster.
