Cloudflare is a serverless AI platform that empowers developers to build, deploy, and scale intelligent applications on its global network. It enables instant access to GPU-powered inference for models like Llama-2, Whisper, and ResNet-50—without setup or infrastructure management. Developers can use Cloudflare’s APIs to perform text generation, speech recognition, image classification, and translation directly at the edge. Its Vectorize database allows storing and searching embeddings for retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and semantic search. With AI Gateway for caching, analytics, and cost control, and R2 storage offering egress-free data access, Cloudflare makes AI workloads both scalable and affordable. It’s the fastest, simplest way to deliver production-ready AI applications worldwide.

Cloudflare AI Gateway is a centralized control and monitoring layer for AI applications, designed to help organizations manage cost, performance, and reliability across multiple AI providers. It connects to your AI services with a single line of code, enabling unified visibility into usage, tokens, and error rates. By providing real-time observability, caching, and rate limiting, it helps prevent runaway expenses while maintaining consistent application performance. AI Gateway integrates seamlessly with OpenAI, Hugging Face, Anthropic, and Workers AI, giving teams full control over how their apps interact with different models. Logs and analytics simplify auditing, troubleshooting, and optimization, ensuring accountability across AI workloads. With Cloudflare AI Gateway, developers can make AI applications more efficient, predictable, and scalable.

Cloudflare delivers a unified AI infrastructure platform that lets developers run machine learning models directly on its global edge network of NVIDIA GPUs. From text generation to computer vision and audio recognition, it includes a curated catalog of popular models from Meta, Microsoft, and Hugging Face, all accessible via API or Cloudflare Pages. Its serverless deployment architecture removes the complexity of managing clusters or GPUs, automatically scaling inference requests globally. Vectorize adds intelligent data search and retrieval through globally distributed embeddings, while AI Gateway offers observability, caching, and rate-limiting controls to prevent surprise costs. Integration with R2 storage supports multi-cloud training and hosting with no egress fees, keeping budgets predictable. Developers can spin up full-stack AI workflows within minutes using prebuilt templates for RAG, translation, or multimodal applications.

Cloudflare Registrar is an at-cost domain registration service that lets users register, transfer, and manage domains without hidden fees or inflated renewals. It charges only what the registry and ICANN require—no add-ons, upsells, or price markups. Integrated directly with Cloudflare’s DNS, CDN, and SSL infrastructure, it ensures enterprise-grade performance and security for every domain. With support for over 390 top-level domains (TLDs), including .com, .net, and .org, Cloudflare Registrar provides broad compatibility and flexibility. Users can easily activate free DNSSEC for protection against on-path attacks and domain hijacking. Designed for transparency and reliability, it gives businesses complete control and peace of mind when managing their online presence.

Cloudflare R2 is a high-performance object storage platform designed to eliminate the hidden costs of traditional cloud providers. Unlike Amazon S3, R2 offers zero egress fees, making data retrieval and transfer completely free regardless of scale. Its generous free tier gives users millions of monthly requests and 10 GB of free storage, ideal for startups, developers, and enterprises alike. R2 integrates seamlessly with existing tools through its S3-compatible API, allowing effortless migration and compatibility. Users benefit from automatic region selection for optimized latency and reliability, ensuring global access to stored objects. With R2, organizations can store, serve, and scale data affordably—without sacrificing performance or security.

Cloudflare Vectorize is a high-speed, globally distributed vector database built to power modern AI applications like search, recommendation, and Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG). It enables developers to store and query embeddings — representations of text, images, and other data — with lightning-fast performance at the edge. Vectorize integrates natively with Cloudflare’s AI developer stack, including Workers AI and AI Gateway, providing a unified environment for AI inference, monitoring, and scalability. Designed for low latency and cost efficiency, Vectorize automatically optimizes and scales vector storage as data and traffic grow. Its global deployment ensures proximity to users and ML runtimes, enhancing both performance and reliability. With Vectorize, developers can build and deploy full-stack AI solutions faster and more affordably than ever.
