Cargo Registry

Browse and discover AI Cargos available on the Archipelag.io network

The Cargo Registry lists all AI Cargos available on the Archipelag.io network — 130+ models and utilities across LLMs, vision, audio, text processing, and more.

Browsing Cargos

Visit /cargo to browse. The registry offers two views:

Card view (default) — visual grid with format icons, descriptions, requirements, and pricing
List view — compact rows for scanning many Cargos quickly

Switch between views using the grid/list toggle in the top-right corner.

Sorting

A sort dropdown is available next to the view toggle:

Sort option	Description
Available first (default)	Cargos with online Islands appear at the top
Name A-Z	Alphabetical by Cargo name
Price: low to high	Cheapest Cargos first
Price: high to low	Most expensive Cargos first

Sorting applies on top of any active filters or search query.

Filtering

By Format

The sidebar (desktop) or dropdown (mobile) lets you filter by runtime format:

Format	Icon Color	Count	Description
ONNX	Blue	45	ML inference models (classification, detection, ASR, TTS, embeddings)
Containers	Cyan	38	Docker-based utilities (PDF, video, image processing)
WASM	Purple	22	Lightweight browser-safe utilities (hashing, JSON, CSV)
GGUF	Green	13	LLM chat models via llama.cpp (Mistral, Qwen, Llama)
Diffusers	Pink	12	Image and video generation (Stable Diffusion, FLUX, Wan2)
CoreML	Blue	3	iOS on-device models (LLM, Whisper, TTS)

Each format shows a live count of matching Cargos.

By Category

Filter by use case:

Category	What’s Included
NLP	Text classification, embeddings, NER, QA, translation, summarization
Vision	Object detection, segmentation, captioning, depth estimation, OCR
Audio	Speech-to-text (Whisper, Voxtral), text-to-speech (Kokoro, Chatterbox)
Generative	LLMs (GGUF), image generation (Diffusers), container-based LLMs
Media & Document	Video/audio processing, PDF/DOCX/XLSX conversion
Utility	WASM tools, image resize, format conversion, code formatting

Search

Type in the search bar to filter by name, description, or task type. Multiple search terms are matched with AND logic — all terms must appear somewhere in the Cargo’s metadata.

Cargo Cards

Each card displays:

Format icon — color-coded badge (GGUF, ONNX, DIFF, WASM, OCI, CML)
Name and slug — human-readable name + technical identifier
Trust badge — sandbox, community, verified, or official
Description — what the Cargo does
Tags — runtime type, RAM requirement, GPU requirement, ONNX task type
Price — credits per job/token/second, or “Free”
Availability — green dot if Islands are online, gray if offline
Action button — “Try It” (teal) when Islands are online and ready, or “View” (gray) when offline

Click any card to see the full detail page.

Cargo Details

The detail page at /cargo/:slug shows comprehensive information:

Field	Description
Name	Cargo display name
Description	What the Cargo does
Runtime type	Execution environment (Container, GGUF, ONNX, etc.)
Requirements	GPU VRAM, RAM, CPU cores, context size, timeout
Pricing	Credit cost per job, token, or second
Trust level	Security tier (sandbox → official)
Network availability	How many Islands can run this Cargo, with fit scores
Reputation	Job count, success rate

Runtime Types

Cargos run on different runtimes depending on the model format:

Runtime	Format	Use Case
Container	Docker/OCI	General-purpose: PDF, video, image processing
GGUF	llama.cpp	LLM inference — token-by-token streaming
ONNX	ONNX Runtime	ML inference — classification, detection, ASR, TTS
Diffusers	Candle/PyTorch	Image and video generation
WASM	WebAssembly	Lightweight utilities — runs anywhere
CoreML	Apple ML	iOS on-device inference

Automatic runtime matching

When you submit a job, the coordinator automatically finds an Island running the right runtime. You don't need to worry about runtime details as a consumer — just pick the Cargo and submit your job.
