Cloudflare has released Auto Router in public beta through AI Gateway, where setting the model to cloudflare/auto routes each request to a model judged capable enough for the task.
Internal tests showed up to 30% cost savings against frontier models, and on a 97-task internal benchmark cloudflare/auto scored 86.6% at $0.0084 per success versus 96.6% at $0.0210 for Claude Opus 5.5. The router is free during beta.
