Cloudflare is an internet security company that provides security services to NewMars members who are enrolled in the online "Lifeboat".
Update 2026/08/23 - NVIDIA has been offering Build-a-Claw sessions. A post about them is added to this topic today.
The lifeboat system runs on a server separate from the Mars Society Dreamhost servers.
The idea is to have a place for members to connect when the Mars Society system goes down.
In the age of Artificial Intelligence, "agents" are (apparently) happening in real life.
They have long been a staple of science fiction, and early manifestations can be seen in the Linux automation tools and the Microsoft equivalent services. "cron" is an example of such a tool. "cron" launches software at times specified by the human in charge of a particular system or cluster of systems.
"agents" will (apparently) have functions far more sophisticated that even the most sophisticated automation products in use in 2026.
It is even possible early manifestations of "agents" have been running in companies like Meta, Microsoft, Oracle and others, and most of us are not aware of them.
Cloudflare is offering what appears to be an education series about agents.
To my knowledge, our current active membership does not include anyone who would be interested in this new topic.
However, our forum is open to the global Internet, and it is possible that there is a human somewhere on the planet who would be interested in the Cloudflare series.
More importantly, the NewMars forum archives has survived for 25 years (with some damage early on) and it will (hopefully) remain a repository of knowledge for some time.

It's Agents Week.
Welcome to Agents Week↗. We’re thinking about the Agent Cloud across every way humans use the web today, and how agents will tomorrow: to build, to work, and to create. That means giving developers secure, persistent primitives that scale instantly; enabling organizations to safely connect agents to internal systems; and protecting content creators in an agentic web built for everyone, not just developers.
This week, we're shipping across the full agent stack: the execution layer, the development lifecycle, zero trust security, the agentic web, and everything that connects agents to humans.
See the latest ↗
What shipped yet?Agents need more than just a container to scale. We're introducing @cloudflare/computer↗, an agent runtime that dynamically orchestrates between fast, efficient isolates and full Linux containers to give every agent a computer of its own.
Workers RPC now works across Python and JavaScript↗. One coding agent can write a Python Worker and another can write a JavaScript Worker. At runtime, those Workers can exchange references to live objects and call their methods - no APIs, schemas, or serialization code.
We're sharing how we optimize frontier models like Kimi and GLM↗ by quantizing KV caches, compressing weights, and adding integrity checks to serve them faster, cheaper and safely.
The new Billable Usage API↗ gives developers and FinOps teams single-endpoint programmatic visibility into cost and usage across all self-serve products. Built around the FOCUS specification, you can now track spend seamlessly alongside the rest of your cloud stack.
Workers and Containers now support inbound TCP connections and gRPC↗. We're introducing this in private beta, you can request access here.
What's next?
This week is stacked. Keep your alerts on for the rest of the week:
Tuesday: ADLC (Agent Development Lifecycle) - the lifecycle for software that writes itself.
Wednesday: Secure, manage, observe - zero trust for agents and for the people who build them.
Thursday: The agentic web - making it readable, callable, and payable.
Friday: What it means when agents and humans share the same Internet.

Cloudflare advertised a series on Agents, and nothing happened until a few minutes ago when I received an announcement that the series was over. There may have been items mailed, but if there were, we sure didn't receive them. Here is the closing piece:

This is just a wild guess on my part, but I ** think ** Agents may be AI systems enlisted to perform tasks that extend over time and over some domain. This topic is available if anyone in NewMars runs across something that sounds related.

I asked Google Search about NVIDIA Build-a-Claw workshops. It turns out these have been happening since March of 2026 if not before. One even had 30,000 attendees! That 30,000 figure may be the count of attendees at the event, not the count of those who participated in the Build-a-Claw event.

Seeing Mastercard in the list of presenters is a reminder that Cloudflare is offering protection against the flood of hacker attacks we have already experienced here in the NewMars forum. I see AMD and Block in the list as well.
Security on the Internet is serious business, and I'm not surprised that major corporations are looking for the world's best partner to handle that challenge. This is a positive feedback loop, with investment by major entities providing the funds to improve the product and to meet new challenges. We (NewMars) are fortunate to be able to benefit from all that investment thanks to the "free trial" protection available to small users like us.

It appears that the two speakers at the upcoming AI conference are well established and well known and quite successful.
Per Google ...
AI Overview
Dr. Fei-Fei Li and Adam Grant are two of the world's most influential public intellectuals and academics, each leading major transformations in their respective fields of artificial intelligence and organizational psychology. [1, 2]? Dr. Fei-Fei Li: The "Godmother of AI"
Dr. Fei-Fei Li is a pioneering computer scientist, Stanford University professor, and widely recognized trailblazer in modern artificial intelligence. [1, 2]
The ImageNet Breakthrough: She is best known as the creator of ImageNet, a massive database of over 14 million labeled images. In the late 2000s, while others focused on algorithms, Li correctly predicted that AI needed massive datasets to learn effectively. ImageNet directly triggered the modern deep learning revolution in 2012. [1, 2, 3, 4]
Current Roles: She serves as the Co-Director of the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered AI (HAI). In 2024, she co-founded World Labs, a "spatial intelligence" startup that achieved a billion-dollar valuation within months by building AI models that understand the physical, 3D world. [1, 2, 3]
Advocacy: Li is a leading global voice for diversity in STEM and ethical AI policy, continuously advising world leaders to focus AI development on enhancing humanity rather than replacing it. [1, 2, 3]
? Adam Grant: The Workplace Culture Expert
Adam Grant is a world-renowned organizational psychologist, top-rated professor at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, and bestselling author. He studies human behavior to understand how people find motivation, meaning, and success in the workplace. [1, 2]
Bestselling Author: Grant has authored multiple New York Times bestsellers that have fundamentally reshaped modern workplace dynamics. His core books include:Give and Take (exploring how generosity drives professional success).
Originals (on how non-conformists move the world forward).
Think Again (focusing on the critical skill of intellectual humility and rethinking our assumptions).
Hidden Potential (on how anyone can cultivate the skills to achieve greater things). [1, 2, 3, 4]
Public Intellectual & Speaker: He is one of TED's most-watched speakers and hosts the hit TED podcasts Re:Thinking and WorkLife, where he interviews creators and leaders about optimizing performance and mental well-being. [1, 2]
Corporate Advisor: He actively advises high-profile organizations—including Google, Pixar, the NBA, and the Gates Foundation—on how to build cultures of collaboration, creative experimentation, and psychological safety. [1, 2]
Well! Now at least these folks have exposure in the NewMars forum !!!
