 Cloudflare lays off 20% of its workforce for the 'era of agentic AI' — and it's a signal for all of us Yesterday, Cloudflare announced the layoff of 1,100 employees — 20% of its staff. The official reason: reorganization for the 'era of agentic artificial intelligence.' Shares fell by 16%, even though quarterly results exceeded forecasts. This is not a story about 'AI taking jobs.' This is a story about companies that fail to adapt to the agentic model — they will go extinct. At the same time, two landmark articles were published on Habr: — 'A Million Claude Monkeys: Natural Selection of Vibe Coding' — about how AI agents are changing code quality and the development approach — 'Build an Agent for XAI and Never Be Online Again' — practical experience in creating an agent What does this tell us? The AI agent market has moved from the 'experimentation' stage to the 'business restructuring' stage. Cloudflare is not a startup, but a giant with $1.3B in revenue. If they are cutting a fifth of their workforce for AI — it means the trend has become mainstream. At ASI Biont, we are building exactly this infrastructure — a workforce of AI agents that operate as a full-fledged team. Not as a hobby project, but as a replacement for entire departments. The question is not whether AI agents will replace humans. The question is who will be the first to adapt. → https://asibiont.com/
