Core Viewpoint - The conflict between AI companies and content creators is intensifying as AI chatbots and search engines gain popularity, leading Cloudflare to support content creators by blocking AI crawlers from scraping content without permission or compensation [1][3]. Group 1: Cloudflare's Position and Actions - Cloudflare is negotiating with Google to separate traditional search engine crawlers from AI crawlers, allowing website owners to decide whether to block AI crawlers [3]. - Cloudflare claims that if Google refuses to separate crawlers, they may push for legislation to enforce this separation [3]. - The company has a competitive edge due to its extensive network of over 152 data centers, handling 20% of global internet traffic [3][5]. Group 2: Challenges and Market Dynamics - Despite Cloudflare's efforts, skepticism exists regarding its ability to compel Google to stop data scraping, as AI search is crucial for Google's future [5]. - The legislative process to enforce crawler separation could take years, potentially harming content creators in the interim [6]. - Cloudflare's actions may be more about promoting its Pay Per Crawl platform than genuinely supporting content creators [6][8]. Group 3: Pay Per Crawl Platform - Pay Per Crawl is a marketplace launched by Cloudflare to facilitate transactions between content creators and AI companies [8]. - Content creators are eager for Pay Per Crawl, but AI companies are reluctant to pay through Cloudflare, preferring direct arrangements [9]. - Current data shows that Google's crawler provides a click for every 6-7 scrapes, while OpenAI's GPTBot requires 1,500 scrapes for a click, indicating a significant disparity in efficiency [8]. Group 4: Competitive Strategies - Google has introduced the Offerwall tool, allowing website owners to monetize content through small payments or ads, contrasting with Cloudflare's Pay Per Crawl model [9][11]. - The two models represent different approaches to content monetization, with Cloudflare focusing on traffic monetization and Google on subscription-based payments [11].

Group 1 - Cursor's developer Anysphere has poached two key figures, Boris Cherny and Cat Wu, from Claude Code, despite their close partnership [1] - Anthropic's annual revenue has reached $4 billion with a valuation of $61.5 billion, and its Claude model is regarded as the best programming model [1] - Anysphere's revenue has doubled within three months to an annual income of $500 million, with a valuation of $9.9 billion, intensifying competition in the AI programming market [1] Group 2 - Zhizhu has released the open-source GLM-4.1V-Thinking visual reasoning model, which surpasses an 8x parameter 72B model in 18 authoritative evaluations [2] - The model architecture integrates ViT visual encoders, MLP adapters, and GLM language decoders, enhancing processing capabilities with 2D-RoPE and 3D-RoPE positional encodings [2] - The training process consists of four stages: multi-modal pre-training, long-context continuous training, supervised fine-tuning, and curriculum sampling reinforcement learning, significantly improving logical reasoning abilities [2] Group 3 - Sakana AI has introduced the Adaptive Branch Monte Carlo Tree Search (AB-MCTS) algorithm, enhancing large model reasoning capabilities through flexible dual-directional search [3] - The Multi-LLM AB-MCTS system allows multiple cutting-edge models (Gemini 2.5 Pro, o4-mini, DeepSeek-R1-0528) to collaborate, achieving a 30% performance improvement on the ARC-AGI-2 benchmark test [3] - This algorithm dynamically selects the optimal model based on the problem, enabling collective intelligence to surpass the limitations of individual models, with the underlying framework TreeQuest open-sourced for user applications [3] Group 4 -
