Cloudflare has launched Kitesurf, a cloud-hosted browser designed specifically for AI agents rather than human users. The browser enables AI developers to build software that can navigate websites and complete tasks without creating their own browser infrastructure. Unlike traditional browsers, Kitesurf doesn't focus on visual elements like themes or tabs. Instead, it manages context windows, performance, token costs, and scalability whilst addressing unique security concerns such as prompt injection attacks. Built in just 12 weeks, Kitesurf runs on Cloudflare's serverless Workers platform. The company claims it offers significantly better CPU and memory efficiency than Chromium for common AI tasks like screenshots and HTML extraction. Kitesurf is currently available for free whilst in beta through Browser Run, which allows developers to programmatically control headless browser instances on Cloudflare's network.
US stock futures edged higher on Friday as major indices prepared to close their strongest week in months. Dow futures rose 0.1%, whilst S&P 500 and Nasdaq futures climbed 0.2% and 0.6% respectively. The Nasdaq is up nearly 4% for the week, with the Dow and S&P each gaining around 3%, marking their biggest weekly advances in three months. Investors awaited the July jobs report, with economists expecting 83,000 new positions compared with June's 57,000. Cloudflare shares surged 16% after reporting second-quarter earnings of 29 cents per share on revenue of $696.1 million, a 36% year-over-year increase. The company raised its full-year revenue forecast to $2.864 billion to $2.87 billion. Gold futures rose nearly 2% to $4,380 per ounce.
Cloudflare's chief financial officer Thomas Seifert predicts that non-human internet traffic will be 1,000 times greater than human-generated traffic within five years. The company previously forecast machine-generated traffic would surpass human traffic in 2027, but measurements showed this occurred in May 2026. Seifert attributed the rapid growth to artificial intelligence, warning it will require greater efficiency and security measures. Cloudflare reported $696 million in quarterly revenue, up 36% year-over-year, though losses more than tripled to $205.7 million. Chief executive Matthew Prince criticised competitors for offering "commodity compute," saying Cloudflare focuses on maximising utilisation rather than simply leasing servers. The company plans capital expenditure of 14-15% of forecast revenue, significantly lower than rivals' AI infrastructure spending. Cloudflare's shares rose 16% in after-hours trading, reaching a new high with 68% year-to-date growth.
Cloudflare has open-sourced its vibe-coding platform, designed for non-coders to create applications using AI. The move comes after internal challenges with AI-generated code quality emerged. According to Cloudflare's Rhea, widespread access to AI coding tools led to "a flood of vibe coded apps looking for a problem to solve". The company responded by creating the Cloudflare Engineering Codex, an AI code reviewer that flagged nearly 250,000 deviations from engineering standards and blocked 16,000 merges over four months. Whilst open source, deploying the Cloudflare OS backend requires a Workers Paid subscription. Initially, this requirement wasn't disclosed upfront. After a GitHub user complained about wasted time, Cloudflare updated the deployment process to alert users about paid plan requirements from the start.
Cloudflare has launched the AEO Visibility Dashboard, a new tool that shows brands whether AI assistants are recommending them to users. The dashboard joins Agent Readiness in Cloudflare's Answer Engine Optimisation (AEO) Suite, giving website owners insight into how AI platforms cite and rank their content. Unlike traditional methods that rely on sampling test prompts, Cloudflare uses its position at the network layer to observe actual crawl and referral activity across millions of sites. This approach provides direct visibility into real AI assistant behaviour. "Being discoverable used to mean ranking on a page. That's not enough anymore," said Stephanie Cohen, chief strategy officer at Cloudflare. The tool addresses a gap in the market, as brands previously had no equivalent of search rankings for AI recommendations.
