About Cloudflare
Cloudflare is an internet infrastructure company that has expanded into AI with Workers AI, enabling AI inference at the edge across its global network of data centers in 300+ cities. Founded in 2009, Cloudflare protects and accelerates websites for millions of customers.
Cloudflare's AI play is unique: rather than competing with cloud hyperscalers on training, the company focuses on inference at the edge. Workers AI allows developers to run AI models on Cloudflare's global network, placing inference close to users for lower latency. The company also offers Vectorize (vector database), AI Gateway (observability and caching for AI applications), and integrations with major model providers.
