Workers AI and AI Gateway add unified authenticated model entrypoints
Cloudflare now provides shared authenticated /ai/ REST endpoints and one AI binding across Workers AI and supported third-party models, with gateway routing and controls.
Previous state
Workers AI and supported third-party provider traffic used separate model-access and billing paths.
Current state
env.AI.run and shared Cloudflare-authenticated /ai/ REST endpoints span both provider families; a gateway ID selects routing and controls.
Affected users
Who needs to care
Applications calling Workers AI or supported third-party models through Cloudflare.
Required response
What to do
Evaluate the unified binding or REST entrypoints and explicitly configure gateway and billing settings where adopted.
Evidence boundary
What the source does not prove
The shared entrypoints are additive; unified billing requires AI Gateway credits and an explicit Workers AI billing setting.
