Cloudflare Workers AI

This provider connects to Cloudflare Workers AI text-generation and embedding models through its OpenAI-compatible API.

Required Configuration​

Set your Cloudflare account ID and API key as environment variables:

export CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID=your_account_id_here
export CLOUDFLARE_API_KEY=your_api_key_here

The Cloudflare account ID is not secret and can be included in your promptfoo configuration file. The API key is secret, so use environment variables instead of hardcoding it in config files.

promptfooconfig.yaml
# yaml-language-server: $schema=https://promptfoo.dev/config-schema.json
prompts:
  - Tell me a funny joke about {{topic}}

providers:
  - id: cloudflare-ai:chat:@cf/openai/gpt-oss-120b
    config:
      accountId: your_account_id_here
      # API key is loaded from CLOUDFLARE_API_KEY environment variable

tests:
  - vars:
      topic: programming
    assert:
      - type: icontains
        value: '{{topic}}'

Alternative Environment Variable Names​

Use custom environment variable names with apiKeyEnvar and accountIdEnvar:

providers:
  - id: cloudflare-ai:chat:@cf/qwen/qwen2.5-coder-32b-instruct
    config:
      accountId: your_account_id_here
      apiKeyEnvar: CUSTOM_CLOUDFLARE_KEY
      accountIdEnvar: CUSTOM_CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT

OpenAI Compatibility​

Cloudflare documents these OpenAI-compatible endpoints:

  • Chat completions: https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/accounts/{account_id}/ai/v1/chat/completions
  • Embeddings: https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/accounts/{account_id}/ai/v1/embeddings

Supported parameters and capabilities vary by model. Check the model's Cloudflare documentation before configuring sampling options, tools, or multimodal inputs.

Provider Types​

Use the chat or embedding provider type for the documented endpoints. The legacy completion type is described below.

Chat Completion​

For conversational AI and instruction-following models:

providers:
  - cloudflare-ai:chat:@cf/openai/gpt-oss-120b
  - cloudflare-ai:chat:@cf/meta/llama-4-scout-17b-16e-instruct
  - cloudflare-ai:chat:@cf/mistralai/mistral-small-3.1-24b-instruct

Text Completion​

The legacy cloudflare-ai:completion:<model> selector sends requests to /ai/v1/completions. Cloudflare's current compatibility documentation does not establish support for this endpoint. Use a cloudflare-ai:chat:<model> selector for new text-generation configurations, including code generation.

Phi-2 was deprecated on May 30, 2026 and should no longer be used for onboarding; see the Workers AI model catalog for currently supported models.

Embeddings​

For generating text embeddings:

providers:
  - cloudflare-ai:embedding:@cf/google/embeddinggemma-300m
  - cloudflare-ai:embedding:@cf/baai/bge-large-en-v1.5

Current Model Examples​

Model Catalog​

Check Cloudflare's model catalog for exact model IDs and supported endpoints. Features documented for the Responses API are not automatically available through cloudflare-ai:chat:.
