Pros & cons

An assessment of the official documentation. This is not a hands-on performance benchmark.

What works well

  • Serverless inference removes the need to manage a GPU server.
  • Works with the wider Cloudflare application platform.
  • The service can also be called outside Workers through its API.

What to consider

  • The curated catalog does not include every model.
  • Free-plan availability does not mean every workload is free.
  • Cloudflare configuration adds an extra setup step for new users.
