Workers AI

Use AI Gateway for analytics, caching, and security on requests to Workers AI.

REST API

To interact with a REST API, update the URL used for your request:

  • Previous:
https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/accounts/{account_id}/ai/run/{model_id}
  • New:
https://gateway.ai.cloudflare.com/v1/{account_id}/{gateway_id}/workers-ai/{model_id}

For these parameters:

Examples

First, generate an API token with Workers AI Read access and use it in your request.

Request to Workers AI llama model
curl https://gateway.ai.cloudflare.com/v1/{account_id}/{gateway_id}/workers-ai/@cf/meta/llama-3.1-8b-instruct \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer {cf_api_token}' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{"prompt": "What is Cloudflare?"}'
Request to Workers AI text classification model
curl https://gateway.ai.cloudflare.com/v1/{account_id}/{gateway_id}/workers-ai/@cf/huggingface/distilbert-sst-2-int8 \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer {cf_api_token}' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{ "text": "Cloudflare docs are amazing!" }'

OpenAI compatible endpoints

Workers AI supports OpenAI compatible endpoints for text generation (/v1/chat/completions) and text embedding models (/v1/embeddings). This allows you to use the same code as you would for your OpenAI commands, but swap in Workers AI easily.


Request to OpenAI compatible endpoint
curl https://gateway.ai.cloudflare.com/v1/{account_id}/{gateway_id}/workers-ai/v1/chat/completions \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer {cf_api_token}' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{
"model": "@cf/meta/llama-3.1-8b-instruct",
"messages": [
{
"role": "user",
"content": "What is Cloudflare?"
}
]
}
'

Worker

To include an AI Gateway within your Worker, add the gateway as an object in your Workers AI request.

export interface Env {
AI: Ai;
}
export default {
async fetch(request: Request, env: Env): Promise<Response> {
const response = await env.AI.run(
"@cf/meta/llama-3.1-8b-instruct",
{
prompt: "Why should you use Cloudflare for your AI inference?",
},
{
gateway: {
id: "{gateway_id}",
skipCache: false,
cacheTtl: 3360,
},
},
);
return new Response(JSON.stringify(response));
},
} satisfies ExportedHandler<Env>;

Workers AI supports the following parameters for AI gateways:

  • id string
    • Name of your existing AI Gateway. Must be in the same account as your Worker.
  • skipCache boolean(default: false)
  • cacheTtl number
