Story

Cloudflare announced Workers AI now supports large-scale model inference, starting with Kimi K2.5 (256K context, vision, multi-turn tool calling). Internal testing: switching a 7-billion-token/day security code review agent from a proprietary mid-tier model to Kimi K2.5 achieved a 77% cost reduction. New prefix caching with session affinity headers and redesigned async APIs target the cold-token-cost bottleneck that kills agent economics at volume. Cloudflare just shifted from CDN to full-stack AI inference layer.
