HN latched onto Artifacts because it treats Git not as a human workflow, but as storage for millions of agent sessions.
HN’s interest came from a practical promise: VM isolation with container-like ergonomics and cold starts measured under 200ms.

Why it matters: Cloudflare is attacking the memory-bandwidth bottleneck in LLM serving rather than only buying more GPUs. Its post reports 15-22% model-size reduction, about 3 GB VRAM saved on Llama 3.1 8B, and open-sourced GPU kernels.
