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**OpenAI API.** Official OpenAPI document and an llms.txt index. Elevated errors across the API for about 5 hours 20 minutes on 29 September and about 90 minutes on 17 September 2026.\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### OpenAI API\n\n1. Build on the Responses API. Astra calls tools only there\n2. Use `gpt-6-luna` for routing and extraction and `gpt-6.1-sol` for most work. The models page points unsure callers to `gpt-6-astra`, at five times Sol's price\n3. Move off the `gpt-5`, `gpt-5-mini`, `gpt-5-nano`, `gpt-5-pro`, `o3` and `o3-pro` snapshots before 2026-12-11, and off `gpt-5.1`, `gpt-5.3-codex` and `gpt-5.4-nano` before 2027-04-01\n4. Treat 429 `slow_down` as a ramp limit and 503 `server_is_overloaded` as a retry, and follow `Retry-After` when it's sent\n5. Prompts over 272K tokens cost double on input. Trim before you pay for it\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Cloudflare AI Gateway or OpenAI API?\n\nOpenAI API scores 83.3 (A) on agent readiness against Cloudflare AI Gateway's 66.8 (B), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories. Cloudflare AI Gateway leads on payments \u0026 pricing.\n\n### Do Cloudflare AI Gateway and OpenAI API need an API key?\n\nBoth need an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call Cloudflare AI Gateway and OpenAI API without installing anything?\n\nYes. Cloudflare AI Gateway has a hosted endpoint at https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/accounts/{account_id}/ai and OpenAI API at https://api.openai.com/v1.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/cloudflare-ai-gateway-vs-openai-api.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/cloudflare-ai-gateway-vs-openai-api.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"cloudflare-ai-gateway\", \"b\": \"openai-api\"}`.
