Putting your website behind Cloudflare has always been a no brainer (and it's free!) Now there's yet another reason: better discoverability in the future in tools such as ChatGPT
Today, Cloudflare and @OpenAI released the first findings from their joint research pilot, demonstrating how real-time network signals can make AI search drastically smarter, fresher, and safer without overloading website infrastructure. cfl.re/4zUxVPd

As Matthew and Lara said: this is a big deal.
Stoked on the results of our pilot with @OpenAI testing whether @Cloudflare’s network signals could be a roadmap to making models smarter, more high quality and more efficient. Spoiler alert: they do! here’s the key takeaway

Signal on just 1% of our network unlocked hundreds of millions of sites ChatGPT was missing, and answered millions of user questions. reducing unnecessary scraping saves costs to both the model and the site owner. better discovery means AEO benefits to customers on Cloudflare.

#Radar traffic data continues to show decreased levels of activity 6 days after the first Ukrainian drone strike on #Yandex data centers. Relative to the prior week, traffic levels have decreased by approximately 89%. Note: Traffic data in Radar includes both bot and human traffic. "Bot traffic" refers to automated requests to websites on Cloudflare's network, such as crawlers and scripts, not necessarily activity on social media platforms. radar.cloudflare.com/traffic…

The fact that Russian bot farms getting taken offline could impact the US midterms is … way more concerning than I think we’re admitting ?
Ukraine hits another Yandex data center in Russia and Cloudflare data shows Russian bot traffic dropping dramatically. Might have an impact right before the November elections.

The third Yandex data center hit by drones since Oct 7. Traffic from YANDEX (AS13238) was already ~35% lower after the Sasovo strike, then fell 99% vs. last week at ~00:30 UTC Oct 11, as its Vladimir site shut down, per the company. Follow along: radar.cloudflare.com/traffic…

This is so interesting
According to Cloudflare Data Explorer the amount of russian bot traffic has dropped to 49% after Ukraine struck a yandex data center. Could this disrupt the midterm elections in the US?

My favorite use case of @Cloudflare data since I’ve worked here. Understanding agentic traffic right now feels like an incredible and timely super power.

It’s really an A+ troll by Zelenskyy to take out half of Russia’s bot farm, weeks before the US midterm elections.

Her name is Cereese Qusba. She’s a student journalist at The Cornell Daily Sun, and she spent nearly TWO YEARS pursuing the story of the alleged gang rape at Cornell when much of the campus had moved on. She built trust with Jane Doe. She kept digging. And when the lawsuit was filed, she was ready. Now the case has a special prosecutor and national attention. This is why journalism matters. Give Cereese Qusba her flowers.

you can now use Web Search APIs via AI Gateway for more grounded inference. one unified billing wallet, one control plane, one API. and extra proud to be doing this with a set of partners that crawl fairly and respect content creators — @CeramicSearch, @ExaAILabs, @Linkup_platform blog.cloudflare.com/introduc…

Tonight, I signed an executive order appointing Attorney General Letitia James as special prosecutor in the Cornell sexual assault case. New information has raised serious questions about how this case was handled, and I’ve lost faith in the Tompkins County DA’s ability to fairly oversee it. The young woman at the center of this case deserves to know that every fact will be examined and justice pursued.
