## Select models now require the Workers Paid plan

We are limiting Workers Free plan access to a few resource-intensive models so we can prioritize capacity for the broader Workers AI user base. This helps everyone get a more reliable inference experience, with fewer `429` and `3040` (Out of Capacity) errors.

The following models now require the [Workers Paid plan](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/platform/pricing/#workers):

- [`@cf/moonshotai/kimi-k2.6`](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers-ai/models/kimi-k2.6/)
- [`@cf/moonshotai/kimi-k2.7-code`](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers-ai/models/kimi-k2.7-code/)
- [`@cf/zai-org/glm-5.2`](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers-ai/models/glm-5.2/)

On the Workers Free plan, requests to these models now return a `403` HTTP error ([internal error `5035`](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers-ai/platform/errors/)) prompting you to upgrade. The Workers Paid plan starts at $5 per month and still includes the 10,000 free Neurons per day allocation, with usage beyond that billed at each [model's pricing](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers-ai/platform/pricing/).

Many models remain available on the Workers Free plan, including:

- [`@cf/zai-org/glm-4.7-flash`](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers-ai/models/glm-4.7-flash/)
- [`@cf/google/gemma-4-26b-a4b-it`](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers-ai/models/gemma-4-26b-a4b-it/)
- [`@cf/nvidia/nemotron-3-120b-a12b`](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers-ai/models/nemotron-3-120b-a12b/)

For the full list, refer to the [Workers AI model catalog](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers-ai/models/).
