Replicate-to-HuggingFace Fallback Evaluation Agent

When a pinned Replicate model is deprecated with no successor, the agent searches HuggingFace for equivalent models, evaluates the top candidates on your golden prompts.

What it does

Sometimes a deprecated Replicate version has no drop-in successor. This agent handles that harder case: it searches HuggingFace for models matching the deprecated one's task and architecture, shortlists candidates, evaluates each against your golden prompt set, and writes a ranked replacement recommendation into a Linear ticket.

When to use it

Use it when a model you depend on is being sunset entirely and you need to choose a new vendor or open-weights model, not just bump a version hash.

How it works

  1. 1A schedule or manual trigger starts the evaluation when a no-successor deprecation is detected.
  2. 2The agent reads the deprecated model's task tags and searches HuggingFace for comparable models.
  3. 3A logic step shortlists candidates by downloads, license, and task match.
  4. 4The agent runs golden prompts against each shortlisted candidate and scores quality, latency, and cost.
  5. 5It ranks the candidates and drafts a recommendation with the scoring table.
  6. 6It opens a Linear ticket with the recommendation and attaches sample outputs for review.

Set it up

What you configure once, before turning it on.

  1. 1
    Connect Hugging FaceModels, datasets, spaces — the open-source hub.
  2. 2
    Connect LinearIssues, projects, cycles, triage.
  3. 3
    Connect ReplicateImage, video, and model inference.
  4. 4
    Set each agent's modelWe leave models unset so you pick the tier — fast + cheap, or top-quality.
  5. 5
    Tune it to your dataEdit the prompts, filters, and field mappings so it matches how your team works.
  6. 6
    Test, then turn it onRun once against a sample, confirm the output, then enable the trigger.
