Cloudflare AI: serverless inference, agents, RAG, and secure runtime primitives on the global edge.
Workers AI model catalog (Llama, Gemma, Whisper, Flux) in 190+ locations with <100 ms inference. Agents SDK, MCP servers, Vectorize, AI Gateway, AI Search, and R2 for training data. Sandboxes and Mesh provide secure, stateful execution and private networking for autonomous agents.
Integrates with the full developer platform. Competitors include Replicate, Groq, Together AI, and direct Anthropic/AWS Bedrock inference.
