The Zero Data Retention commitment plus the verified-bot crawling requirement is the most interesting part of this announcement. The tension between AI search products and publishers has been one of the messiest issues in this space, so Cloudflare making verified crawling a condition of the platform is a meaningful signal. Practically, routing everything through AI Gateway with unified billing is the real win — swapping providers like Exa and Linkup behind one API makes it much easier to pick the right one per query type.
