Also driving out your front door and seeing something like this is just awful.

Secondly, it was the first major cloud provider to support DeepSeek-R1. Within days of its release. I've never seen a cloud provider move faster since April 14, 2006, and they're not slowing down anytime soon. Disclaimer: I do own five shares of NET, so might make $20 if this goes viral.

This blows my mind. Cloudflare is arguably the fastest mover for providing *tooling* for AI, but doesn't build or train its own AI. It takes ten seconds to look at their Workers-AI models page and there's not a single one built by Cloudflare. Cheaper models do nothing but help them!

And then I read stuff like this "[...]Cloudflare does seem to make a good case for continual gen AI monetization opportunities. However, we caution against being overly optimistic here, as DeepSeek has proven that Chinese companies have been able to put out very strong models at a very low cost."
