Gotchas

Use provider model ID "replicate/flan-t5-xl", not the LLMReference slug "flan-t5-xl".
Replicate uses "owner/model-name" format (e.g. "meta/meta-llama-3-8b-instruct") for the latest version, or "owner/model-name:version-sha" to pin to a specific version. The REST endpoint splits owner and model-name into the path: /v1/models/{owner}/{model-name}/predictions.
The examples expect REPLICATE_API_TOKEN; rename it only if your application config maps the new variable.
