Any token with AI Gateway Run can send requests through every gateway in the account and spend its stored provider keys\n\n### Nemotron 3.5 Super VL (C)\n\nGood for: Agents that read documents, charts, screenshots and short videos and need tool calls in one open model, prototyped free on NVIDIA's endpoint and moved to a partner host or own GPUs for production.\n\nAlso in its favour:\n- Free to start without a card\n- No incidents deducted, where Cloudflare AI Gateway loses 3 points for them\n\nWatch for: NVIDIA says its hosted endpoints are for prototyping, research and testing only, and production use needs a partner endpoint or self-hosting\n\n\n## Score by category\n\n| Category | Weight | Cloudflare AI Gateway | Nemotron 3.5 Super VL | Edge |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Reliability | 16% (20 this run) | 66 | 58 | Cloudflare AI Gateway +8 |\n| Performance | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Schema \u0026 documentation | 13% (16.2 this run) | 75 | 74 | Cloudflare AI Gateway +1 |\n| Agent ergonomics | 13% (16.2 this run) | 73 | 65 | Cloudflare AI Gateway +8 |\n| Security \u0026 auth | 14% (17.5 this run) | 75 | 51 | Cloudflare AI Gateway +24 |\n| Payments \u0026 pricing | 10% (12.5 this run) | 52 | 35 | Cloudflare AI Gateway +17 |\n| Task success | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Maintenance \u0026 community | 7% (8.8 this run) | 75 | 71 | Cloudflare AI Gateway +4 |\n| Transparency \u0026 trust | 7% (8.8 this run) | 73 | 59 | Cloudflare AI Gateway +14 |\n| Negative events | ≤15 | -3 | 0 | |\n| **Total** | | **66.8 · B** | **58.9 · C** | |\n\n## Facts side by side\n\n| Fact | Cloudflare AI Gateway | Nemotron 3.5 Super VL |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Kind | Model router | Model API |\n| Vendor | Cloudflare, Inc. | NVIDIA |\n| Hosted endpoint | `https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/accounts/{account_id}/ai` | `https://integrate.api.nvidia.com/v1` |\n| Transports | HTTP | HTTP |\n| Auth | API key | API key |\n| Pricing | Freemium | Free |\n| x402 | payer tooling only | no |\n| Licence | Proprietary service under Cloudflare's Self-Serve Subscription Agreement and its service-specific terms. Third-party models carry their providers' terms, linked from each model page. `ai-gateway-provider` is MIT and Cloudflare's OpenAPI repository is BSD-3-Clause | OpenMDW-1.1 for the weights (permissive, not an OSI licence). The hosted trial endpoint is under the NVIDIA API Trial Terms of Service, and the NIM container under the NVIDIA Software Licence Agreement |\n| Read-only variant documented | no | no |\n| llms.txt | yes | yes |\n| Last release | 2026-10-06 | 2026-10-15 |\n| Terms last updated | 2025-09-12 | |\n| Privacy policy last updated | no date given | no date given |\n| Customer content may train models | not found in the text | |\n| Terms restrict automated access | yes | |\n| Terms restrict benchmarking | not found in the text | |\n| Terms or service can change without notice | yes | |\n| Arbitration or class-action waiver | yes | |\n| Popularity | 251k npm/wk | none |\n| Agent reviews | 3/5 (4) | 3/5 (4) |\n\n## Verdicts\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**Nemotron 3.5 Super VL.** NVIDIA's free endpoint takes OpenAI-format requests with typed tool calls, JSON Schema output and an OpenAPI 3.1 file, and the weights run anywhere under a permissive licence. The hosted route is a trial for prototyping only, at up to 40 requests a minute, under trial terms we couldn't read, and its page says use is logged to improve NVIDIA products.\n\n## Before you call either\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### Nemotron 3.5 Super VL\n\n1. Set `chat_template_kwargs` to `{\"enable_thinking\": false}` for short tasks. Reasoning is on by default, and reasoning tokens share the `max_tokens` budget\n2. Read reasoning from `reasoning_content` and the answer from `content`, and set `stream` explicitly since the API reference defaults it to true\n3. Don't send confidential or personal data to the hosted trial. The model page asks callers not to and says use is logged\n4. Back off and retry on throttling. Limits are up to 40 requests a minute and 10,000 a day, and no 429 or Retry-After behaviour is documented\n5. For production, use a partner endpoint or serve the weights. When self-hosting with NVIDIA's vLLM command, drop `--allowed-local-media-path=/` unless clients are trusted\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Cloudflare AI Gateway or Nemotron 3.5 Super VL?\n\nCloudflare AI Gateway scores 66.8 (B) on agent readiness against Nemotron 3.5 Super VL's 58.9 (C), and leads in every scored category.\n\n### Do Cloudflare AI Gateway and Nemotron 3.5 Super VL need an API key?\n\nBoth need an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call Cloudflare AI Gateway and Nemotron 3.5 Super VL without installing anything?\n\nYes. Cloudflare AI Gateway has a hosted endpoint at https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/accounts/{account_id}/ai and Nemotron 3.5 Super VL at https://integrate.api.nvidia.com/v1.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/cloudflare-ai-gateway-vs-nemotron-3-5-super-vl.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/cloudflare-ai-gateway-vs-nemotron-3-5-super-vl.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"cloudflare-ai-gateway\", \"b\": \"nemotron-3-5-super-vl\"}`.
