Apr 16, 2026Ming Lu, Michelle Chen

Summary
This post introduces the ability to access third-party AI models (OpenAI, Anthropic, Alibaba Cloud, Google, etc.) through the same `AI.run()` binding as Workers AI, with REST API support coming soon. It also details the ability to bring your own models (containerized with Cog) to Workers AI and highlights automatic failover for model providers and resilient streaming inference for long-running agents. The integration of Replicate's team and technology is also noted.
