The most capable agents have something simple in common: they are given their own computer to work with.Coding agents work this way. You give them a filesystem, a shell, tools, packages, and the ability to run code. They inspect the environment, make changes, test their work, and keep going. The computer gives the model a familiar way to act on the world. At Cloudflare, we’re working hard to provide the right primitives on which to build the most capable agents.Today we’re introducing an early preview of @cloudflare/computer. The @cloudflare/computer package provides an agent runtime where the details and mechanics of what code runs in an isolate, a container sandbox, or a web browser are handled by the platform. Each agent gets a computer, the runtime optimizes for efficiency, and scalability.We believe that in order to meet the growing demand for compute required by agentic systems we need to look to solutions beyond traditional containerization. Changing how agents are builtWe’ve seen a subtle evolution of this story over the past six months. At the start of the year, spinning up a container and running an agent inside of it was the norm. In recent months, we’ve seen a rapid move for agent harnesses to provide sandboxed code execution via tools. This separates the hands (the sandbox where work is done) from the brain (the agent loop).No matter where the harness runs, giving every agent a container presents a challenge — across all the clouds, all the hyperscalers, there’s nowhere near enough compute in the world for every company to give each of their users’ agents …
