Key Features
  • • AI Model Inference
  • • Global Edge Deployment
  • • Serverless Scaling
  • • Serverless inference APIs for open and proprietary model workloads
  • • Batch Inference API for large asynchronous token processing jobs
  • • Fine-tuning platform for shaping open models with private or domain data

Cloudflare Workers AI - Pros & Cons

Pros

  • ✓Among the cheapest paths to production Llama inference at $0.011 per 1K Neurons with 10K free per day
  • ✓Co-locates with Workers, Pages, and Vectorize for single-digit-millisecond RAG round trips on the edge
  • ✓OpenAI-compatible endpoints mean existing OpenAI SDK code drops in with one URL change

Cons

  • ✗Catalog is open-source-only — no GPT-5 or Claude (use AI Gateway or OpenRouter for those)
  • ✗Throughput trails Groq on tokens-per-second for the largest Llama models
  • ✗Vision and image generation model coverage is narrower than Replicate

Together AI - Pros & Cons

Pros

  • ✓Cheaper per token than closed-model APIs for equivalent tasks — Llama 3.3 70B at ~$0.88/M is a real cost delta
  • ✓Broad catalog covers most open models teams actually consider (Llama, DeepSeek, Qwen, Mistral, Kimi)
  • ✓Three deployment tiers (serverless, dedicated, cluster) let you graduate without moving off the platform
  • ✓Full-parameter and LoRA fine-tuning available with your dataset — a rare combination at this price
  • ✓HIPAA-eligible and SOC 2 Type II environments make enterprise deals possible

Cons

  • ✗Frontier reasoning still lags Claude, GPT, and Gemini for the hardest tasks; open models close but rarely lead
  • ✗Serverless cold starts and shared-tenant latency vary — high-QPS production usually needs dedicated endpoints
  • ✗Pricing per model shifts frequently as new SKUs launch; long-term budgeting requires occasional re-costing
  • ✗Dedicated endpoints and clusters require some capacity planning — not fire-and-forget like serverless
