May 7, 2026: 1,100 jobs. Internal memo from founders: company reorganizing for 'the agentic AI era.' Internal AI usage climbed more than 600% over the past three months. TechCrunch headline: 'Cloudflare says AI made 1,100 jobs obsolete, even as revenue hit a record high.' Memo also said: 'We are making these changes now because making smaller, repeated cuts or dragging a reorganization out over multiple quarters creates prolonged emotional uncertainty for employees and stalls our ability to build.'
