Cloudflare became another hosting option behind OpenRouter, with its Workers AI platform running models accessed through the service. The February 2025 announcement describes an expansion of the provider network: Cloudflare supplies the infrastructure executing existing models, while OpenRouter provides access to them. Developers therefore gained another provider for model requests. The announcement's speed and pricing descriptions are promotional claims without a measured comparison.
