We are refreshing the Workers AI model catalog to make room for new releases and updated models. Update your apps to remove references to the models listed below before November 15, 2026.

We recommend moving to newer models for the best token efficiency and throughput. For pricing, refer to the [Workers AI pricing page](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers-ai/platform/pricing/).

#### Recommended LLM replacements

- For frontier model needs: [`@cf/deepseek-ai/deepseek-v4.1-flash-1017`](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers-ai/models/deepseek-v4.1-flash-1017/) and [`@cf/zai-org/glm-5.3`](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers-ai/models/glm-5.3/).
- For smaller model needs: [`@cf/google/gemma-4-26b-a4b-it`](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers-ai/models/gemma-4-26b-a4b-it/) and [`@cf/qwen/qwen3.8-27b`](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers-ai/models/qwen3.8-27b/).
