AI agents accelerate Christensen’s “Innovators Dilemma” in software by making it easier for new “entrants” (now created bespoke by agents) to solve the actual jobs to be done each end user cares most about.

DHH@dhh · 17h

Rather than using 5% of some big honking package like Microsoft Office or Adobe Creative Suite, you'll probably soon just ask your agent for the 5% you actually use. Bespoke software.

I know I’m always over here beating the @Cloudflare culture drum, but there are very few public companies where you could do something like this in the same span of time.

The default state of any sufficiently scaled organization is self sabotage — the org will knowingly and unknowingly do everything in its power to keep you from getting things like this done.

But not here.

This kind of ship is a testament to the ferocity of the folks in workers ai who have a pure love for what they do but it’s also a testament to a special culture that breeds this kind of outcome. 🔥

we've been dogfooding this for a few weeks now and it's such an unlock for teams building on workers! no more mystery box

importantly — you can now find and profile a durable object!

cloudflare is the most exciting place to be in the most exciting era of compute

Dane Knecht 🦭@dok2001 · 23h

Cloudflare is an infrastructure company. In 2026 that means the best place to run code and the best tools to build and ship it. Agents are writing more of the code every month. Someone still has to make it build and run.

This has been a big year of investment to make us even better.

We added @evanyou wrote Vue and Vite and @rough__sea wrote Node.js, then Deno.

Helping to make “Deploy to Region: Earth.” the agent default.

Clef-omni is out. We add audio and video input, plus text and images.

@Cloudflare teams are using it to find PII, detect malicious domains, and the docs repo to close spam issues.

Clef-flash is now cheaper at $0.038 per M input tokens.

What the team does on a Friday afternoon while I’m under anesthesia.

Cloudflare@Cloudflare · 14h

We are expanding the Clef decision model family with Clef-omni, natively processing audio, video, images, and text in a single pipeline. We’ve also lowered Clef-flash pricing and boosted Clef inference speeds by up to 2.0x. cfl.re/4s6nYeD

Two medal plates and lots of screws to fix my right humerus, which I shattered in a bike accident in Europe earlier this week. Thanks to the amazing team at @HSpecialSurgery for patching me up better than new. And, yes, I’m insisting @zatlyn call me Iron Man.

Cloudflare is a design partner for Personal Agent Protocol (Poppy) — and the best part?

It's built on standards you already use: OAuth, MCP, OpenAPI.

Bret Taylor@btaylor · 16h

On Tuesday, Sierra announced Personal Agent Protocol with Meta, Genesys, Instinct, Rocket, Shopify, Stripe, and Walmart. The response has been incredible and today we’re publishing the first draft of the protocol at personalagentprotocol.org and announcing 35 new design partners.

As personal agents take on more, our goal is simple: consumers have choice and control, and companies know when they’re dealing with an agent and who it represents.

This draft is a starting point. We’d love for companies, developers, and personal agent builders to read it, give feedback, and help us build an open standard together.

I, along with the rest of the Deno company, am joining Cloudflare!

I'm motivated by abstractions that give leverage at scale. The Cloudflare workers programming model is a hermetic computing abstraction that truly embodies the old Sun Microsystems tagline "The Network Is the Computer". The programming abstractions that Kenton designed really force scalability. If you squint your eyes you might even conceive of it as a distributed high-level operating system.

The only major problem with this distributed operating system is that practically people only use it inside of Cloudflare. Cloudflare is an amazing service for nearly all applications - but there are many situations when you might need it to run elsewhere.

I want to solve this problem and make the Workers programming model the default way you write server-side application code.

The time is ripe for new abstractions too - what software we run and how we run it are changing quickly with AI. The number of agents is exploding and I don't think they all need a Linux VM. A much more lightweight Durable Object would suffice for many applications. I'm super keen to talk to people who want to self-host agents at scale on DOs - msg me!

Cloudflare Developers@CloudflareDev · Oct 9

The team behind @deno_land, including @rough__sea (he knows a bit about Node.js), is joining @Cloudflare.

They’ll help make Workers better for Node.js developers and advance workerd as a core primitive for what comes next. cfl.re/4zlzlSa

This isn't your typical acquisition blog post. I'm really excited not just that @rough__sea, @piscisaureus, and friends are joining, but also what they plan to work on: Making workerd a first-class, self-hostable open source runtime. Read for more:

The @deno_land team is joining @Cloudflare to radically simplify self-hosting Workers and Durable Objects so developers can use the same primitives in more places.
