TBPN · Cloudflare CEO Predicts AI Agents Will Outnumber Humans 1,000-to-1 · 10 Jun 2026 podcast

of GPUs and CPUs that are existing today.

And so what we really think is that as these agents are creating code, you need a different platform for it.

And Cloudflare Workers was built not on containers as much, but on something called isolates, which is a much more efficient

And so what we're seeing is that as people are building these agents, as they're using them, it's just a much more natural place to be running them.

And it's, I think, why you're seeing more and more of the big AI labs have Cloudflare as the preferred target for where their code gets run, open AI.

uh released a project um uh for their enterprise users a little while ago that again is targeting us and and we want to make sure that with with things like veet uh as as first-class citizens on cloudflare that we can help power that future because again it's not going to be kind of the same uh system that we that we built with the hyperscalers it's going to be something different and again i think that we have a really good shot of building that different thing

I think two different problems.

The first is, as you ask these different AI systems to perform tasks on your behalf, what has to happen behind the scenes, especially those tasks get complicated,

is that they need to be coordinated in some way.

So if you say, plan a vacation for me or something like that, what goes on behind the scenes is that there's coordination there.

And the best way to make that as efficient as possible, what the agents are really good at and these various LLMs are really good at is actually writing code.

And so that code needs somewhere to live.

And the problem is that if that lives in a container, then you've got to bring in an operating system.

You've got to bring in all the tooling and everything else.

And that's actually extremely heavyweight.

And so that's the first place that you've got both a CPU and a GPU bottleneck that's there.

And so with something like Cloudflare Workers and isolates, it's just a much lighter weight system.

And so that means that you can have more agents running on the same CPU infrastructure and be able to provide that.

And again, I think that's why

a lot of these next generation tools are actually built using our platform.
