🧠 Cloudflare Reimagines AI Web Scraping

Cloudflare has introduced Pay per Crawl, a new system where websites can charge AI bots for content access. It flips scraping into a paid, permission-based model, with default blocks on new domains. Backed by major publishers, it aims to redefine how online content is monetized in the AI era.

The Shift:

• New Marketplace Monetizes Crawling – Cloudflare’s Pay per Crawl lets websites set per-crawl rates for AI bots, block them, or allow free access. Each bot is reviewed individually, and micropayments are triggered per visit. Cloudflare handles all transactions between publishers and AI firms.
  

• Crawlers Far Outpace Referrals – Cloudflare says OpenAI scrapes sites 17,000 times per referral, Anthropic 73,000, and Google 14. Publishers are getting minimal traffic in return for massive data extraction.
  

• “Default of Control” Now Enforced – New Cloudflare domains block AI crawlers by default, shifting power to publishers. Major outlets like TIME and Fortune back this, favoring a permission-first standard. AI bots must now be explicitly approved before crawling begins.

Cloudflare’s Pay per Crawl could reset the economics of the AI-content relationship. Instead of silent scraping, publishers can now demand compensation, set terms, and track crawler behavior. As AI agents replace traditional search, this model could power a new era of real-time, programmatic licensing.

🧬 Microsoft’s MAI Rewrites the Diagnosis Playbook

Microsoft just introduced the MAI Diagnostic Orchestrator, a breakthrough system built to simulate a full medical team using specialized AI agents. Paired with OpenAI’s o3 model, it was tested against physicians on one of the toughest new medical benchmarks. 

The Shift:

1. Simulates an AI-Driven Medical Team - MAI-DxO operates as a multi-agent system, with dedicated AI roles for generating hypotheses, ordering tests, and optimizing for cost. It replicates how real medical teams collaborate under uncertainty. 

2. Achieves 4× Better Accuracy Than Doctors - Using the new 304-case SDBench dataset, MAI paired with o3 reached 85.5% diagnostic accuracy. In contrast, doctors with 5–20 years of experience averaged just 20%. 

3. Reduces Cost Without Cutting Corners - MAI completed each case at an average cost of $2,397, notably lower than the $2,963 spent by doctors. The AI ordered fewer unnecessary tests while maintaining high accuracy.

This isn’t AI playing doctor, it’s AI elevating medicine to a level most doctors can’t reach alone. The future of diagnosis might not just be faster, it might finally be fairer, cheaper, and more accurate for everyone.
