Cloudflare Workers AI	Configure Cloudflare Workers AI's edge-based inference platform with Mistral-7B for low-latency LLM testing and evaluation at the network edge using OpenAI-compatible APIs

Cloudflare Workers AI

This provider supports the models provided by Cloudflare Workers AI, a serverless edge inference platform that runs AI models closer to users for low-latency responses.

The provider uses Cloudflare's OpenAI-compatible API endpoints, making it easy to migrate between OpenAI and Cloudflare AI or use them interchangeably.

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.

prompts:
  - Tell me a funny joke about {{topic}}

providers:
  - id: cloudflare-ai:chat:@cf/deepseek-ai/deepseek-r1-distill-qwen-32b
    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

This provider leverages Cloudflare's OpenAI-compatible endpoints:

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

All standard OpenAI parameters work with Cloudflare AI models: temperature, max_tokens, top_p, frequency_penalty, and presence_penalty.
