Cloudflare opens automatic AI model routing in public beta

Cloudflare released Auto Router in public beta through AI Gateway, allowing customers to send requests to a gateway that selects a model for each task. It filters models by request format, access rules, spending limits and provider health, then weighs estimated quality against price. Cloudflare says its internal use saved up to 30% compared with using only frontier models. The router also accounts for the cost of rebuilding a long conversation's cached context when switching models. It is free while in beta; the savings figure comes from Cloudflare's own use.
