I was wondering if/when cloudflare would jump into doing “more AI”. Of all the paths they could have taken, this seems like a reasonable one. Hope that the dev team made some money/cloudflare stock from this transaction.

They already did and they had Worker AI for quite a while [0]. But I think it didn't catch up and they have there very old models.

Overall I think it's a good acquisition for both of them. Replicate would have to have more competitive pricing to compete with fal.ai

Is this the platform they are offering on Openrouter?

not sure but that's quite possible. I haven't used cloudflare workers ai myself because they had quite limited number of models and choices so far.
