Standardize provider credential error responses in AI Gateway

Introducing Web Search API

Web Search API is now available in beta. Web Search API lets your AI agents and applications search the Internet and ground their responses in live information, instead of guessing URLs or relying on a model's training cutoff.

Pay for AI inference with Machine Payments

AI Gateway now supports Machine Payments in beta. With Machine Payments, clients can use the x402 protocol to pay for eligible inference requests directly from a stablecoin wallet instead of maintaining a prepaid credit balance.

Identify model overuse and potential savings with User Insights

AI Gateway User Insights now gives you more context about the traffic flowing through your gateway. It shows what users and agents are doing with AI, and where a selected model may be more capable than a task requires.

Prevent Unified Billing fallback for BYOK third-party providers

AI Gateway can now require credentials for third-party provider requests. Credentials must accompany the request or be stored on the gateway. This setting prevents fallback to Unified Billing with Cloudflare-managed credentials.

AI Gateway custom costs support cache tokens

AI Gateway custom costs now support cache-read and cache-write token rates. This lets custom cost metrics reflect negotiated cache pricing across providers.
