In the early stages of model use, Cloudflare encouraged experimentation and used top frontier models for planning.

“Like, hu- humans just aren't, aren't gonna ever be good at that, right? Like, uh, um, you know, uh, uh, um, but, you know, early on you do it kind of, uh, brute force, and you, you know, peop- you get people to experiment, and you say, "Hey, well, you know, let's try for the, uh, planning part.”

“Let's use the, uh, you know, the, uh, the top frontier models for that." Um, and then, uh, you know, once the plan's written out, and agreed upon, and iterated on, then, you know, uh, potentially some more of the open source models, uh, can go do that.”
