Can't wait for the free tier!

Workers AI had a free tier since it launched, I think? See the pricing page I linked to above.

Sadly no mention on regions.

Not seeing any pricing info on the models[1] page. Wonder how much of a lift this is over paying providers directly. Perhaps Cloudflare is doing this at cost? Also interesting that zero data retention is not on by default, and is not supported with all providers[2]. Finally, would be great if this could return OpenAI AND Anthropic style completions.

Workers AI pricing is this: https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers-ai/platform/pricin...

Thanks, I don't see pricing for foundation models however, such as GPT-5.4

don’t attach to a single AI provider when you can attach to cloudflare as your single AI gateway provider!

rant aside, they are greatly positioned network wise to offer this service, i wonder about their princing and potential markup on top of token usage?

i presume they wont let you “manage all your AI spend in one place” for free.

Of course they will. In return they get to control who they’re routing requests to. I wouldn’t be surprised if this turns I to the LLM equivalent of “paying for order flow”.

i got shivers thinking about a future ai dynamic pricing and automatic gateway choosing the cheapest provider available

Openrouter already does this, unless I've misunderstood the premise.

Anthropic gonna acquire Cloudflare for stock. Solves their infrastructure problems in one shot.

I'm not ready to for another rug pull, so please no :( I really enjoy Cloudflare's CDN.

No spending limit / no ability to set a budget, unlike Google or OpenAI. Be prepared for an eye-watering invoice if you have a bug or get hacked.

This actually looks very useful. Cloudflare seems to be brining together a great set of tools. Not to mention, D2 is literally the only sqlite-as-a-service solution out there whose reliability is great and free tier limits are generous.

Big, could be a viable Bedrock alternative. Probably better uptime than Anthropic or AWS, too.

What is Cloudflare trying to be? Everything everywhere all at once?

Can I set a hard cost limit per day ? With no drift, else I'm not interested.

Can I set a hard cost limit ? Else I'm not interested, don't be like googles mess of billing.

A few weeks ago, I ran into a bug with Cloudflare's DNS server not detecting when I updated the records with the registrar. The bug was 100% on their end, entirely unsolvable by me, yet they have made it literally impossible to contact them to file a bug report. Their standard user help workflow dead-ended by forcing me to talk to their absolutely useless AI help chatbot, which proceeded to regurgitate their FAQ (inaccurately, uselessly), then referred me to a phone number that was disconnected/not in service, then gave me an email address that auto-replied it was no longer in use, then just looped back to the FAQ. There was no way for me to even send them an email to let them know they have a major bug.

I immediately pulled all my sites off of Cloudflare and I will never use that godawful nightmare of a company for anything ever again. If they can't even host a generic help bot without screwing it up that badly, why would I ever use them for anything at all, never mind an AI platform?
