 Cloudflare lays off 20% of staff for the 'era of agentic AI' — and it's a sign for all of us Yesterday, Cloudflare announced the layoff of 1,100 employees. The official reason is a reorganization for the 'era of agentic AI.' This isn't about cost-cutting. It's about a paradigm shift. Major infrastructure players are restructuring their businesses for a world where AI agents are not an experiment but the foundation of the product. Cloudflare is preparing to serve not just web traffic, but traffic between AI agents. What this means for the market: - Demand for AI agents is growing faster than companies can hire people - Infrastructure for agents is becoming a separate industry - Manual management of business processes is giving way to an agentic approach At ASI Biont, we are building exactly this — AI agents that work as full-fledged employees. Journalists, analysts, lawyers, PR specialists. Not just chatbots, but autonomous executors. The market confirms: the direction is chosen correctly. https://asibiont.com/
