Cloudflare AI Gateway adds model aliases
Cloudflare AI Gateway now supports model aliases: one name for a pool of models with ordered fallback or smart routing, so you can swap backends without redeploying.

What’s new
On November 4 Cloudflare AI Gateway shipped model aliases. An alias such as custom/support-fast points at a pool: the gateway tries models in order with fallback, or uses smart routing per request. Apps keep calling the alias while you change the pool without redeploying. It extends the same gateway stack that hosts tools like Cloudflare Clairic.
How to call it
Pass the alias name as the REST model field and set cf-aig-gateway-id to select the gateway. Aliases are scoped per gateway and managed on the Routing page beside dynamic routes.
