Interesting timing — I've been using Bunny CDN for video delivery and considering moving parts to Cloudflare. Anyone have experience comparing the two for media streaming specifically?

Wondering why you're considering this move, I also use Bunny for some embedded videos and am considering fully moving my websites away from Cloudflare's CDN to Bunny

Not OP but things like this: (BunnyCDN has been silently losing our production files for 15 months) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47710845

Curious which models are you able to run and how many 3090s do they require at scale?

4 3090s with nvlinks on each pair. Super fast inference on Moe models around 20-36b

> Super fast inference

How fast is "super fast" exactly, and with what runtime+model+quant specifically? Curious to see how how 4x 3090s compare to 1x Pro 6000, could probably put together 4x 3090s for a fraction of the cost compared to the Pro 6000, but the times I've seen the tok/s in/out for multiple GPUs my heart always drops a little.

Sexy, but I wouldn't trust it. Why ? because Cloudflare AI Gateway is reporting inaccurate/wrong price for flagship models such as Nano Banana 2 and Nano Banana pro (I run production app using those). Been reporting it on discord and twitter, and they don't care. Entreprise client here :)

hi, I am the PM for AI Gateway. We want to make sure our pricing is correct. I found your tweets about this and will dig in!

I've been using AI gateway for months already, is this any different or is it just moving out of beta?

we've added bindings support, and it's an of the models you can use through unified billing on cloudflare. but still the same ai gateway product that you've been using!

I haven't benchmarked against a pro 6000, it's more that i have 4 3090s and i don't have a pro 6000.

So it's basically just openrouter with cloudflare argo networking? I feel like they could do some much more interesting stuff with their replicate acquisition. Application specific RL is getting so good but there's no good way to deploy these models in a scalable way. Even the providers like fireworks which claim to let you deploy LORAs in a scalable way can't do it. For now I literally have to host base load on my a…

Running a rack of 3090s in your garage to avoid provider lock-in/costs is the most Hacker News thing. Out of curiosity, what are you doing for uptime/failover? If you are running production traffic to that garage rack, does your app just degrade gracefully if your home internet drops, or do you have a cloud fallback?

Yeah the model i'm running locally is just one of several models the app supports and it falls back to others if not available.

Yes, that's why I'm asking you what exactly 4 3090s get in prompt-processing and generation, sorry if I was unclear.

This actually looks very useful. Cloudflare seems to be brining together a great set of tools. Not to mention, D2 is literally the only sqlite-as-a-service solution out there whose reliability is great and free tier limits are generous.

Yeah but the 10GB limit for D1 is crazy, can you really start building on that? Other than toy projects?

Per their own docs, D1 is primarily meant for things like Auth DBs that you have frequent read/write access to but that store limited amounts of data. If you need more storage, running Postgres somewhere else and querying via Hyperdrive is probably what you want to do instead.

Maxes out around 4K tok/s output. Each pair of 3090s has its own instance of the model with parallelism across the nvlink bridge. Though nvlink is only 2x over pcie5
