Cloudflare (NET) has emerged as one of the biggest beneficiaries of the artificial intelligence (AI) boom, with investors increasingly viewing the company as a critical player in the internet infrastructure that powers next-generation applications. As AI adoption accelerates across industries, every strategic partnership carries added weight, making Cloudflare's latest announcement particularly noteworthy.
The enthusiasm showed up on Wednesday, July 8, when NET stock rose 1.7% after Cloudflare unveiled a first-of-its-kind research pilot with OpenAI. The partnership will explore how insights from participating websites across Cloudflare's global network can help AI search engines discover and index relevant content across the open web more effectively.
