I was trying to https://github.com/googleapis/js-genai with AI Gateway. Is that supported? My inital take after fighting with this for a while is that I should use the deprecated google library https://github.com/google-gemini/deprecated-generative-ai-js

Am I completely wrong? I hope so. I'm trying to use gemini to process short videos and I'd love to track my codst.

Shados•6/29/25, 5:17 AM

I'm using a gateway with a Worker AI binding (the "basic usage" in section 2 on https://developers.cloudflare.com/ai-gateway/integrations/worker-binding-methods/)

I don't get any error and my app works, but I don't see anything in the gateway's logs.

If I use the REST endpoint to my gateway to make the same request to the same model, then I see log entries. Is that a bug or am I doing something wrong?

If I use this.env.AI.gateway then gateway.run, then it works as I expected, but since the doc and the typescript type explicitely state the gateway feature should be supported directly, I found the behavior surprising.

S

Shados•6/29/25, 5:50 AM

Even then something seems off. Some features like input/output tokens and cost don't register when I go through the

gateway.run

gateway.run

gateway.run

gateway.run function inside workers.

So so far:

using a regular Worker AI binding with the gateway property: doesn't show up in logs at all
Getting the gateway by id from the binding and calling gateway.run: shows up in logs, no token/cost show up
Using REST api via curl: everything works as expected.

(it case it matters, im using the Worker AI models in this case)

Edit: Ok token/cost is not REST api vs gateway binding, its Streaming vs Non-Streaming.

So that only leaves the issue of: Why do I not get logs if I'm using the bindings without gateway.run? Is it because it only logs queries that go through the API and direct bindings bypass that? In which case what features do I actually get, since logs are kind of the big one?

We are having issues where OpenAI requests are now getting blocked because they are originating from unsupported countries (via AI Gateway).

Have tried sending api key with initial request headers, in the body like above, and both. Issue is not just scoped to OpenAI's api - have also tested Vertex AI and issue persists. Anthropic does not have this issue since their api key is supplied in the

x-api-key

x-api-key

x-api-key header.

ari•7/3/25, 2:14 AM

We've been seeing something similar. Universal endpoint + Authenticated Gateway. We have OpenAI as primary and Anthropic as secondary, and OpenAI consistently fails with this same error message and then Anthropic succeeds. On one hand, it's a win for the cross-vendor fallback model.

cf-aig-authorization gateway-level setting. Perhaps this is header configuration hierarchy at work? https://developers.cloudflare.com/ai-gateway/universal/#header-configuration-hierarchy

N

didn't work for curl at least

neil•7/3/25, 9:06 AM

either way, authorization should def be a request level header for universal endpoint

Vk•7/3/25, 1:51 PM

Hello folks: Trying to understand AI Gateway better. With the openAI compatible endpoint, does it support all the models and integrations using compatible endpoint or are there specific ones"

N

neil•7/3/25, 8:21 PM

it’s basically a reverse proxy for rest endpoints (primarily nice for centralized logging). you can specifically request a url path with the endpoint body parameter for universal endpoint or just concat to the url path for provider specific ai gateway

N

neil•7/3/25, 8:22 PM

so for example you can request openai’s /chat/completions as well as /responses with { model: “gpt-4.1” | “gpt-4o” } in the request body

Everything is a wrapper bro. All you need is a unified multimodal api, secure AI gateway, a few MCPs, some rules, an OS ui and you're good to go. Total bill shouldn't cost more than a few hundred bucks. You could deploy at zero cost with a little engineering.
