Cloudflare Agents Week Preview: What to Expect

In this short edition of This Week in NET, host João Tomé joins from the island of Madeira for a quick preview of Cloudflare’s first Agents Week.

João is joined by Ming Lu (Principal Product Manager at Replicate) and Anni Wang (Product Manager) to discuss why AI agents are becoming one of the biggest shifts happening on the Internet right now.

They explore how agents are starting to generate more code than developers, why the Internet is moving toward agents interacting with other agents, and what infrastructure is needed to build and run them securely at scale.

The conversation also previews some of the themes of Agents Week: building and running agents on Cloudflare’s platform, securing agent access to tools and data, managing the large volumes of data agents generate, and how the web itself may change as machines increasingly consume content.
