Identity alone doesn't guarantee a bot will behave responsibly. We are introducing a system to continuously evaluate whether Verified bots honor site preferences, like robots.txt and HTTP 429s, ensuring they remain accountable over time.
How Cloudflare and OpenAI are working together to help AI find useful content, keep up with changes, and make fewer wasted requests — making the experience better for users and website owners alike.
We are expanding the Clef decision model family with Clef-omni, natively processing audio, video, images, and text in a single pipeline. We’ve also lowered Clef-flash pricing and boosted Clef inference speeds by up to 2.0x.
We celebrated our 16th birthday with 46 announcements across open source, post-quantum security, AI agents, and developer platform upgrades. Here’s a day-by-day roundup of everything we shipped.
Cloudflare AI Gateway now supports native web search API integration in partnership with Ceramic.ai, Exa, and Linkup. Developers can now inject real-time web context into model inference calls via AI Gateway, REST APIs, or Workers bindings.
We are introducing Clef and Clef-flash, open-source decision models hosted on Workers AI for high-speed classification and agentic workflows. Also launching: a new reinforcement learning platform that allows developers to fine-tune decision models using their own data.
AI sovereignty is not a zero-sum game, but many governments now believe it is. Cloudflare's answer: more local open-source models, model-agnostic security tools, and a commitment to giving nations genuine choice.
Cloudflare OS gives everyone in your organization an agent workspace that knows how your company works and connects to its data and systems. We’re opening the waitlist for fully managed deployments that you’ll be able to launch in a few clicks.
AI Search is now generally available. It embeds image pixels directly for visual search, runs optical character recognition on scanned PDFs, accepts files up to 10 MiB, and works with any chat model. Here's what's new and how pricing works.
Cloudflare AI Gateway now features a model router that evaluates request complexity using an edge-deployed classifier to select the optimal model. By balancing expected output quality against token costs, organizations can dramatically cut AI spend while maintaining performance.
Cloudflare Registrar’s new search delivers fast, transparent results across 420+ extensions using Workers, Durable Objects, and WebSockets. Its expanded API and cf CLI also let agents search, register, and transfer domains.
Cloudflare’s AI Gateway, Ceramic.ai, Stocktwits, and more are using the Cloudflare Monetization Gateway today to charge agents for access to tokens, APIs, and MCP tools. U.S.-based sellers can now apply for access to the closed beta.
Pay Per Use is now in beta. AI companies report when they use publishers’ content, and Cloudflare handles billing, payouts, and reporting, so our customers are paid according to use.
AI Gateway User Insights now adds task, model, turn, and user categories to help teams understand AI adoption and make better model decisions. This is available free to AI Gateway users.
Cloudflare Containers now start 6x faster, let your agent choose each sandbox's image and instance type at runtime, and support filesystem snapshots in public beta, all controlled from a Durable Object.
More than half the traffic reaching sites on Cloudflare is now automated, and AI agents are the fastest-growing part of it. We're giving site owners the tools to see who's visiting, decide who gets in, and charge for access.
We’re building CryptoLabe, an internal AI-powered tool that discovers cryptography across our codebase, surfaces dependencies, and helps us progress toward a full post-quantum migration by 2029. Here’s what we’ve learned so far.
