Built a plugin for @simonwillison.net’s llm CLI: allowing you to call any Workers AI model directly from the command line.
$ llm install llm-cloudflare
$ llm keys set cloudflare
$ llm -m "@cf/meta/llama-3.1-8b-instruct" "Write a Cloudflare Worker in ESM that returns JSON."

Writing Python in 2025 is good, actually thanks to `uv` 😎
I wanted a way to benchmark a bunch of LLMs from the CLI.
Wrapped @simonwillison.net’s llm library + had it ingest a config file specifying the models you want. It'll run them async (if the plugin supports it) and write the results out to JSON so you can review/eval/process.

Case in point: I like AI for prototyping, but… are we headed towards a monoculture because that’s all our tools support?
Do other libraries stand a chance? Do we get to try out new ideas?
I’m hoping the next big advance in LLMs enables more real-time knowledge (that isn’t just function calling).

USB-C is just the physical connector.
It’s entirely legal to ship a product with a USB-C connector that only supports USB 2.0 transfer rates and 15W PD, and even that’s arguable.

It’s time for THE charger.
Today, the USB-C becomes officially the common standard for charging new mobile electronic devices in the EU.
It means better-charging technology, reduced e-waste, and less fuss to find the chargers you need!

How do we experiment with new ideas, frameworks & ship new APIs as the reliance on LLMs increases?
Specifically: the current gap between training data (April 2024 for Claude!) means that there’s far more friction for users to try something new or different.

tried writing this blog 3 times but it’s really boring, so here’s the short version:
React won. Every mainstream f/w now implements its ideas, and developed their own ecosystems. The ones that didn’t, lost and died.
This implies there’s no _strong_ reason to not pick one of the other winners.

Model Context Protocol (MCP) 🤝 @cloudflare.social Workers
We're launching the workers-mcp tooling today to allow you to quickly build an MCP server on Workers. Anything you can do with a Worker you can now add into @anthropic.com Claude / any other MCP Client.
