Cloudflare AI runs AI inference at the edge — in data centres physically closest to users — reducing latency compared to centralised AI APIs. Workers AI provides inference for Llama, Mistral, Whisper, FLUX, and others without infrastructure management. AI Gateway proxies calls to OpenAI, Anthropic, Groq, and others, providing caching, rate limiting, cost monitoring, and failover. Vectorize is the edge vector database for RAG applications running alongside Workers AI. Free tiers across all three products lower the barrier for developers.
Cloudflare AI runs as ml inference platform software built around text and image workflows. Users typically start with a prompt, upload, or connected data source, and the underlying model handles the heavy lifting before returning a result you can refine or export. It's available on web, cloudflare workers, and api, with API access for teams that want to embed it into their own products.
