Before you ship on it
- 10,000 Neurons a day is small (about 0.37M output tokens on gpt-oss-20b, about 49K on Llama 3.3 70B), and on Workers Free calls fail until 00:00 UTC once it is spent. The newest large models (Kimi, GLM-5.x, DeepSeek V4) need Workers Paid ($5 a month minimum) or prepaid credits.
- The Self-Serve Subscription Agreement (last updated 12 Sep 2025) has no non-commercial clause; free services run until Cloudflare ends them 'in our sole discretion'. The data-usage page says each model may carry its own…
- Free tiers are shared capacity: treat the limits as a ceiling, not a promise, and keep a paid fallback.
