Introducing Flagship: feature flags built for the age of AI

We are launching Flagship, a native feature flag service built on Cloudflare’s global network to eliminate the latency of third-party providers. By using KV and Durable Objects, Flagship allows for sub-millisecond flag evaluation.

Performance — Unweight: how we compressed an LLM 22% without sacrificing quality

Unweight: how we compressed an LLM 22% without sacrificing quality

Running LLMs across Cloudflare’s network requires us to be smarter and more efficient about GPU memory bandwidth. That’s why we developed Unweight, a lossless inference-time compression system that achieves up to a 22% model footprint reduction, so that we can deliver faster and cheaper inference than ever before.

Performance — Agents Week: network performance update

Agents Week: network performance update

By migrating our request handling layer to a Rust-based architecture called FL2, Cloudflare has increased its performance lead to 60% of the world’s top networks. We use real-user measurements and TCP connection trimeans to ensure our data reflects the actual experience of people on the Internet.

Engineering — Email for agents - Cloudflare Email Service now in public beta

Email for agents - Cloudflare Email Service now in public beta

Agents are becoming multi-channel. That means making them available wherever your users already are — including the inbox. Today, Cloudflare Email Service enters public beta with the infrastructure layer to make that easy: send, receive, and process email natively from your agents.

AI & ML — Agents have their own computers with Sandboxes GA

Agents have their own computers with Sandboxes GA

Cloudflare Sandboxes give AI agents a persistent, isolated environment: a real computer with a shell, a filesystem, and background processes that starts on demand and picks up exactly where it left off.

Engineering — Welcome to Agents Week

Welcome to Agents Week

Cloudflare's mission has always been to help build a better Internet. Sometimes that means building for the Internet as it exists. Sometimes it means building for the Internet as it's about to become. This week, we're kicking off Agents Week, dedicated to what comes next.

AI & ML — Why we're rethinking cache for the AI era

Why we're rethinking cache for the AI era

The explosion of AI-bot traffic, representing over 10 billion requests per week, has opened up new challenges and opportunities for cache design. We look at some of the ways AI bot traffic differs from humans, how this impacts CDN cache, and some early ideas for how Cloudflare is designing systems to improve both the AI and human experience.

SRE & Ops — A one-line Kubernetes fix that saved 600 hours a year

A one-line Kubernetes fix that saved 600 hours a year

When we investigated why our Atlantis instance took 30 minutes to restart, we discovered a bottleneck in how Kubernetes handles volume permissions. By adjusting the fsGroupChangePolicy, we reduced restart times to 30 seconds.

Engineering — How Automatic Return Routing solves IP overlap

How Automatic Return Routing solves IP overlap

Automatic Return Routing (ARR) solves the common enterprise challenge of overlapping private IP addresses by using stateful flow tracking instead of traditional routing tables. This userspace-driven approach ensures return traffic reaches the correct origin tunnel without manual NAT or VRF configuration.

Databases — Always-on detections: eliminating the WAF “log versus block” trade-off

Always-on detections: eliminating the WAF “log versus block” trade-off

Cloudflare is introducing Attack Signature Detection and Full-Transaction Detection to provide continuous, high-fidelity security insights without the manual tuning of traditional WAFs. By correlating request payloads with server responses, we can now identify successful exploits and data exfiltration while minimizing false positives.
