Reviewer scorecard
“If you need distributed AI compute, Ray + Anyscale is the standard. Training and serving at any scale.”
“The free tier is absurdly generous and the cold starts are essentially zero. For APIs, middleware, and edge logic, nothing else gives you this performance at this price.”
“Most teams don't need distributed compute. Cloud provider GPU instances handle 90% of fine-tuning needs.”
“The Worker runtime has limitations — no Node.js stdlib, size limits, CPU time limits. Know the constraints. But for what it does well, it's unbeatable.”
“Ray is becoming the distributed computing standard for AI. Anyscale manages the hard parts.”
“Cloudflare is building the programmable internet. Workers + D1 + R2 + AI = a complete platform that runs at the edge. They're quietly becoming the default infrastructure layer.”
