All `/accounts/{account_id}/ai/*` endpoints require the Workers AI permission. This applies to third-party models and to Workers AI (`@cf/`) models. A token that holds only an `AI Gateway` permission returns `401` with error code `10000`.

The `AI Gateway` permissions apply to the `/accounts/{account_id}/ai-gateway/*` endpoints, which manage gateway configuration, logs, and routes.

:::note
Ensure your Cloudflare account has [sufficient credits loaded](/ai-gateway/features/unified-billing/#load-credits) before calling third-party models.
