Cloudflare AI Gateway is a managed LLM proxy that sits in front of 23+ AI providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google AI Studio, Google Vertex AI, Amazon Bedrock, Azure OpenAI, Workers AI, Mistral, Cohere, Groq, DeepSeek, Cerebras, xAI, Perplexity, Replicate, HuggingFace, OpenRouter, ElevenLabs, Deepgram, Cartesia, Ideogram, Fal AI, Baseten, Parallel) and provides analytics, request and error logging, response caching, rate limiting, request retries, model fallback, guardrails, and evaluations. A unified REST API launched May 21, 2026 lets developers call any model through a single endpoint.
