alt Hacker NewsI was wondering if/when cloudflare would jump into doing “more AI”. Of all the paths they could have taken, this seems like a reasonable one. Hope that the dev team made some money/cloudflare stock from this transaction.

They already did and they had Worker AI for quite a while [0]. But I think it didn't catch up and they have there very old models.
Overall I think it's a good acquisition for both of them. Replicate would have to have more competitive pricing to compete with fal.ai

They can't innovate themselves, and rather than try to fix the reasons why (change in leadership, corporate structure, etc), they just buy a competitor, which they will most likely run into the ground. Perfectly reasonable!
