Why the edge:
- Reliability, Cloudflare Workers AI +35: Cloudflare Workers AI 68 (Hosted reading. www.cloudflarestatus.com is a Statuspage with Workers AI, AI Gateway and API as separate components (20). The incidents feed read on 9 October held 50 incidents from 21 September to 8 October 2026, none naming Workers AI or AI Gateway. The feed read on 1 November holds 50 incidents from 16 to 31 October. Workers AI is listed only in "Issues with AI Security for Apps" on 27 October, intermittent failures in unsafe topic detection with impact none, resolved after 38 minutes. The 23 October network incident, labelled major, describes some traffic between Ashburn and Atlanta and some customers in North America, so it reads as partial, as this run's other Cloudflare re-checks read regional incidents. The history page loads by script, so 3 August to 20 September and 9 to 15 October went unread. The 28 July changelog that cited 429 and 3040 capacity errors has left the 90 days, so the line is 12 of 30 (10 before), as cloudflare-r2 and cloudflare-mcp read the same page with an unread stretch on 1 November. Limits are published per task type, 300 requests a minute for text generation and 20 or 50 a minute per paid model, unchanged since 17 September (15). A 429 carries code 3036 for a spent free allocation or 3040 for capacity, `rejectIfBusy` fails fast, the batch route queues work, and the Cloudflare API returns `retry-after` and `Ratelimit` headers for its own limit. No `Retry-After` or backoff figures were found for a 3040 (11 of 15). No SLA for Workers AI was found. The legal index names only an enterprise support and SLA page, which we did not read (0). The limits page says Workers AI is generally available, with lower limits possible on beta models (10). 20 + 12 + 15 + 11 + 0 + 10 = 68.); Eden AI 33 (Router, read on the hosted lines. No status page is linked from the site or docs, and status.edenai.co didn't resolve for us on 6 November 2026 (0). No incident history to read (5). The rate-limits page gives 10 requests a second per account, shared across keys, while the plans page gives 7 a second, raisable to 15, so the figure is documented but inconsistent (10). Fallback retries the next model or provider on a 429 or error inside one request, but no client-facing 429 or Retry-After guidance was found (8). No SLA published; 'Dedicated support & SLA' is listed only for the custom Advanced plan, and the pricing page's '99.99%' uptime is a claim without a status page behind it (0). The v3 API is GA (10). 0+5+10+8+0+10 = 33.)
- Payments & pricing, Cloudflare Workers AI +22: Cloudflare Workers AI 52 (x402 is in beta on `POST /ai/run` since 30 September 2026 for four of 69 models. It still needs a Cloudflare API token, a United States account and a card on file, and the per-model and OpenAI-style routes are not covered. We did not call it (12 of 40). Per-model token, image and audio prices and the neuron rate are published without a login (20). 10,000 neurons a day are free on the Workers Free plan, and the pricing page asks for a paid plan only past that. We did not sign up to confirm that no card is asked for (20). A person creates the account and the first token in a browser, and the x402 route needs both (0). The Machine Payments page (last updated 30 September) and the pricing page (20 October) were re-read on 1 November and say the same. 12 + 20 + 20 + 0 = 52.); Eden AI 30 (No x402, MPP or L402 (0). Provider prices with no markup plus a 5.5% platform fee, published per model in the keyless catalogue (20). llms.txt says some models are billed $0 for tests, but whether a new account can call them without buying credits isn't stated (10). A person signs up in a browser and buys credits through Stripe (0). 0+20+10+0 = 30.)
- Transparency & trust, Cloudflare Workers AI +21: Cloudflare Workers AI 76 (Closed service under the Self-Serve Subscription Agreement and service-specific terms with a Workers AI section. The hosted models are open-weight with licence links on their pages, and the SDKs are Apache-2.0 and MIT (18 of 30). The data usage page, the service-specific terms and the privacy policy of 4 November 2025 agree on ownership and no training. The privacy policy gives retention criteria, not periods, the two documents differ on use to improve services, and the DPA the terms link was not read (20 of 30). No deprecation policy was found. The changelog posts dated notices, among them the 21 October deprecation of `workers-ai-provider` with no end date, and section 8 of the agreement lets Cloudflare modify or discontinue a service without notice (8 of 20). A sub-processor page exists and links a list for Cloudflare services, which we did not read. Model pages are tagged Cloudflare-hosted, and where a request runs is not stated beyond Cloudflare's network (10 of 20). 18 + 20 + 8 + 10 = 56.); Eden AI 55 (Editorial half only. Closed service under terms last updated 22 October 2026, naming Eden AI SAS and French law with courts in Lyon (15). The data retention page, terms and DPA agree that content isn't stored by default, and the docs carry a per-provider table of training, retention and ZDR (27). No deprecation policy found; models are dropped in docs updates without dated notice that we found (5). The DPA's Annex 2 names operational subprocessors (AWS EMEA, ClickHouse, Sentry, Metabase, Stripe, Brevo and others) with their roles, and the EU endpoint keeps routing in the EU (18). 15+27+5+18 = 65.)
- Maintenance & community, Cloudflare Workers AI +14: Cloudflare Workers AI 72 (Model reading. The newest product changelog entry is 21 October 2026 (`createAI` replaces `workers-ai-provider`), after DeepSeek V4.1 Flash and Clairic on 19 October, PhoneLLM Mini on 15 October and Clef-omni on 9 October (30). No minimum notice for model changes was found. The notice of 8 May 2026 retired 18 models 22 days later, and a notice of 18 September 2025 retired models 13 days later (5 of 12). Eighteen models went on 30 May 2026, one aliased to a pricier successor. No retirement was announced between 9 October and 1 November (3 of 8). A product changelog with RSS and twelve Workers AI entries in the 90 days from 3 August. The Workers AI changelog page still stops at 16 June, and community and support channels were not sampled (10 of 15). Replies on the SDK repositories were not examined (3 of 10). `cloudflare` for TypeScript 7.3.0 and Python 5.9.0 (tagged 2 October 2026) are still the newest tags on 1 November. `workers-ai-provider` 4.0.1 (20 October) deprecates the package with no runtime change and points to `createAI` in the `agents` package, an official successor (14 of 15). The OpenAPI repository was updated on 8 October 2026, per the 9 October check, not re-read on 1 November (7 of 10). 30 + 5 + 3 + 10 + 3 + 14 + 7 = 72.); Eden AI 58 (Closed service, read on the model lines. The docs repository changed on 5 and 6 November 2026, including retiring Nova Reel and Veo from video generation, and the terms were updated 22 October (30). No public changelog, so dated API changes in the last 90 days come only from docs commits (12 of 20). Chat support within 48 working hours, no public changelog (8). No SDK of its own, and the MCP server isn't in the official MCP registry (5). Nothing to judge package health by beyond the docs repository (3). 30+12+8+5+3 = 58.)
