Cloudflare Built A Browser That Throws Away Everything Humans Need

Kitesurf runs in V8 isolates on Workers with no Chromium underneath, claims 3 to 7 times less CPU and memory for agent tasks, and passes over 215,000 web platform tests. It has no tabs, no extensions and no pixel-perfect rendering, on purpose.

How to Measure Whether Your RAG Is Retrieving the Right Documents

Twenty questions with known answers, run over 205 real documents. Prefixing titles to chunks raised hit@1 from 14 to 17 and pushed one question out of the top ten altogether — an average that reported progress over a regression.
