Probably better if they make it obvious that you need Workers paid plan: "Your Cloudflare account is on the Free plan, but the Cloudflare OS backend needs Dynamic Workers, which requires the Workers Paid plan."

This is just if you don't want to host it yourself, no?

Everytime I read about new things from Cloudflare they look really cool but I cannot shake the feeling of not wanting to use them for fear of lock-in, am I too paranoid?

This is 100% open source and self-hostable. https://github.com/cloudflare/cloudflare-os It runs on top of our open source runtime. https://github.com/cloudflare/workerd

Does workerd have full feature-parity with Workers, including stuff like Durable Objects?

I liked Kenton's take on this: https://x.com/KentonVarda/status/2084990137180590572?s=20 Text from tweet: Today we are releasing Cloudflare OS, a chatbot with connectors, just like every other tech company is doing. Except actually, it's different. This is a remake of Sandstorm[.]io, my startup from 10 years ago, except this time built on Cloudflare Workers (the platform I've spent the last 9 years building) and deep…

Thank you. The tweet values the readers time. The blog post. Dear lord. So much noise.

This was a great summation.

Neat! How does that work with the AI Gateway portion? I see some references in the code but at a quick glance I can't tell if you can configure it to skip AI Gateway.

Use of Cloudflare AI Gateway is optional.

In the default configuration, you just plop your Anthropic/OpenAI/Gemini/Workers AI/ollama API keys into the UI and it talks to each provider directly.

That said, I would recommend AI Gateway, it has a lot of nice features. :)

"OS for work" - like, what does it mean? OS is operating system, it runs on a hardware and provides you to operate the system. I hate when companies destroy the English language with vibe invented terms.

It's a thing chatgpt comes up with, like em dashes or the worde 'delve'. High clanker/vibecoder signal
