Cloudflare Workers AI

Run 40+ open models at the edge with a free daily Neuron budget

Workers AI serves open models (Llama, Mistral, Qwen, embeddings, image, ASR) from Cloudflare's edge, callable from a Worker or directly over the REST API using your account ID and an API token. The free plan includes a daily allocation measured in Neurons, a unit of GPU compute.

Free tier

Free allocation of 10,000 Neurons/day on the Workers Free plan (no card to start). Above that, $0.011 per 1,000 Neurons on Workers Paid. Resets daily at 00:00 UTC.

Rate limits

Throttled by the 10,000 Neurons/day free budget rather than a fixed RPM. Neurons consumed per request depend on model and tokens; a ~500-token Llama 3 response costs roughly 400-600 Neurons.

What you'd build with it

  • Add inference to an edge Worker with zero cold-start round-trip to a separate provider
  • Free embeddings + Vectorize for a small RAG app inside the Cloudflare stack
  • Whisper transcription and image models alongside text in one platform
  • Tiny-volume automations comfortably inside 10k Neurons/day
