The repository's March 2026 review flagged it and issue #1104 is open\n\n### Cloudflare AI Gateway (B)\n\nGood for: Teams that already hold a Cloudflare account and want one token, one bill, logs, budgets and fallbacks in front of several model providers, or that want to keep their own provider keys behind a proxy with spend limits.\n\nAhead on:\n- Schema \u0026 documentation, 75 against 55\n- Agent ergonomics, 73 against 56\n- Security \u0026 auth, 75 against 45\n- Transparency \u0026 trust, 73 against 59\n\nAlso in its favour:\n- A hosted endpoint, with nothing to install\n\nWatch for: API tokens are account-scoped.

The CLI creates a wallet key, free models answer at once and paid ones draw on deposited USDC, with seller, tokens and cost returned in response headers. Sellers are unvetted and can read prompts unless TEE-verified, the proxy forwards a client's own credential headers to them, and every package is pre-1.0.\n\n**Cloudflare AI Gateway.** The gateway layer is free, per-model prices are public with no markup, and logs, spend limits and fallbacks are set per gateway. API tokens cannot be limited to one gateway, the service terms take third-party models outside Cloudflare's DPA, no SLA names the product, and error codes changed on 6 October 2026 with same-day notice.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Antseed\n\n1. Send a placeholder key such as `antseed-p2p`. The proxy forwards whatever `Authorization` or `x-api-key` header the client sends to the seller\n2. Call `GET /v1/models` first and request a concrete id. The `antseed` alias works only when the desktop app has a model selected\n3. Handle 402 `insufficient_deposits` by reading `suggestedAmount`, then fund the address from `antseed buyer deposit` with USDC on Base\n4. Pass `--verifiers antseed-verifier --require-verifier` to `antseed buyer start` when prompts are private, so only TEE-verified sellers are routed\n5. Read `x-antseed-peer-id` and `x-antseed-estimated-cost-usd` on each response, and pin a seller with `\u003cpeerId\u003e@\u003cmodel\u003e` when the same one must answer\n\n### Cloudflare AI Gateway\n\n1. Use the REST API at `api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/accounts/{account_id}/ai/v1` with a token holding Workers AI Read. A token with only an AI Gateway permission returns 401 with code 10000\n2. Send `cf-aig-gateway-id` on every Workers AI (`@cf/`) call and on dynamic routes. Without it a dynamic route resolves against the default gateway and returns 404\n3. Set `cf-aig-collect-log: false` or `cf-aig-collect-log-payload: false` on sensitive requests. Logging of prompts and responses is on by default\n4. Treat a 429 as a rate limit or a spent budget and a 401 with code 2009 as a rejected provider key. Do not retry a 2009\n5. Set `byok_only` on the gateway or send `cf-aig-no-wholesale: true` to stop a request without a provider key falling through to paid Unified Billing credits\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Antseed or Cloudflare AI Gateway?\n\nCloudflare AI Gateway scores 66.8 (B) on agent readiness against Antseed's 55.1 (C), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories. Antseed leads on payments \u0026 pricing.\n\n### Do Antseed and Cloudflare AI Gateway need an API key?\n\nAntseed needs no key. Cloudflare AI Gateway needs an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call Antseed and Cloudflare AI Gateway without installing anything?\n\nNo hosted endpoint is listed for Antseed. Cloudflare AI Gateway has a hosted endpoint at https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/accounts/{account_id}/ai.\n\n### Are Antseed and Cloudflare AI Gateway open source?\n\nAntseed is open source (GPL-3.0 (LICENSE in the repository). The @antseed/cli manifest on npm carries no licence field).
