Agents, Workers AI, AI Gateway - createAI replaces workers-ai-provider and ai-gateway-provider
Cloudflare Agents SDK introduced createAI , unifying Workers AI and AI Gateway integrations while deprecating workers-ai-provider and ai-gateway-provider .
Why this signal matters
The Cloudflare Agents SDK introduced createAI for the AI SDK and Pi AI, consolidating functionality previously split across workers-ai-provider and ai-gateway-provider . The unified method handles Workers AI models, AI Gateway catalog models, dynamic routes, and vendor models using either the AI binding or an account ID with an API token. Consequently, workers-ai-provider and ai-gateway-provider are officially feature-frozen and marked as deprecated.
Actionable summary
Cloudflare deprecated workers-ai-provider and ai-gateway-provider in favor of a unified createAI function in the Agents SDK ( agents/models/ai-sdk ), supporting Workers AI models, AI Gateway catalogs, dynamic routes, and vendor models.
