Matthew Prince told attendees at SXSW that generative AI agents will generate more web traffic than humans by next year. This shift demands new infrastructure standards as automated requests multiply rapidly across the global internet.
Cloudflare introduced Moltworker, a middleware solution allowing the personal AI agent Moltbot to operate on its Worker platform instead of dedicated local hardware. This advance leverages improved Node.js compatibility within the Workers Runtime and new platform APIs for secure, scalable deployment. The integration moves complex agent logic closer to the edge network, benefiting from Cloudflare's global infrastructure.
