Eric Schmidt says in the next year, AI models will unite three key pillars: very large context windows, agents and text-to-action, and no-one understands what the impact will be but it will involve everyone having a fleet of AI agents at their command
The way Cloudflare got it's first set of users & servers to build their Version1 speaks out that the power of Open source projects & community has always been insane.
When @Cloudflare started out they had no servers to build the initial product, they also couldn’t raise money. But had ProjectHoneypot & this had 80K users also a very loyal community.
@zatlyn one of the cofounders of Cloudflare convinced their other cofounders to email all of the members who lived within 50 miles in the community for asking help about the servers.
Out of 200 people they reached out, 70% of them replied with “I've got some servers or I know someone who does.”
Michelle used to drive around & collect servers eventhough it wasn't perfectly working they managed to build Cloudflare out of it,
One key during the process was Michelle speaking to users about Cloudflare while collecting servers & they were giving valuable feedback about why they would or wouldn’t use it.
That’s how Cloudflare got its first set of users.
