Makes Workers AI and Hugging Face integration
generally available; deploying serverless AI is now easier and more
affordable than ever
Cloudflare, Inc. (NYSE: NET), the leading connectivity cloud
company, today announced that developers can now deploy AI
applications on Cloudflare’s global network in one simple click
directly from Hugging Face, the leading open and collaborative
platform for AI builders. With Workers AI now generally available,
Cloudflare is the first serverless inference partner integrated on
the Hugging Face Hub for deploying models, enabling developers to
quickly, easily, and affordably deploy AI globally, without
managing infrastructure or paying for unused compute capacity.
Despite significant strides in AI innovation, there is still a
disconnect between its potential and the value it brings
businesses. Organizations and their developers need to be able to
experiment and iterate quickly and affordably, without having to
set up, manage, or maintain GPUs or infrastructure. Businesses are
in need of a straightforward platform that unlocks speed, security,
performance, observability, and compliance to bring innovative,
production-ready applications to their customers faster.
“The recent generative AI boom has companies across industries
investing massive amounts of time and money into AI. Some of it
will work, but the real challenge of AI is that the demo is easy,
but putting it into production is incredibly hard,” said Matthew
Prince, CEO and co-founder, Cloudflare. “We can solve this by
abstracting away the cost and complexity of building AI-powered
apps. Workers AI is one of the most affordable and accessible
solutions to run inference. And with Hugging Face and Cloudflare
both deeply aligned in our efforts to democratize AI in a simple,
affordable way, we’re giving developers the freedom and agility to
choose a model and scale their AI apps from zero to global in an
instant.”
Workers AI is generally available with GPUs now deployed in
more than 150 cities globally
Today, Workers AI is generally available, providing the
end-to-end infrastructure needed to scale and deploy AI models
efficiently and affordably for the next era of AI applications.
Cloudflare now has GPUs deployed across more than 150 cities
globally, most recently launching in Cape Town, Durban,
Johannesburg, and Lagos for the first locations in Africa, as well
as Amman, Buenos Aires, Mexico City, Mumbai, New Delhi, and Seoul,
to provide low-latency inference around the world. Workers AI is
also expanding to support fine-tuned model weights, enabling
organizations to build and deploy more specialized, domain-specific
applications.
In addition to Workers AI, Cloudflare’s AI Gateway offers a
control plane for your AI applications, allowing developers to
dynamically evaluate and route requests to different models and
providers, eventually enabling developers to use data to create
fine tunes and run the fine-tuned jobs directly on the Workers AI
platform.
Cloudflare powers one-click deployment with Hugging
Face
With Workers AI generally available, developers can now deploy
AI models in one click directly from Hugging Face, for the fastest
way to access a variety of models and run inference requests on
Cloudflare’s global network of GPUs. Developers can choose one of
the popular open source models and then simply click “Deploy to
Cloudflare Workers AI” to deploy a model instantly. There are 14
curated Hugging Face models now optimized for Cloudflare’s global
serverless inference platform, supporting three different task
categories including text generation, embeddings, and sentence
similarity.
“We are excited to work with Cloudflare to make AI more
accessible to developers,” said Julien Chaumond, co-founder and
chief technology officer, Hugging Face. “Offering the most popular
open models with a serverless API, powered by a global fleet of
GPUs, is an amazing proposition for the Hugging Face community, and
I can’t wait to see what they build with it.”
