Cloudflare interns use AI to accelerate product development

Cloudflare says it's hosted 750 interns across nine global offices over the past year, aiming for 1,111 in 2026. The company says interns, equipped with AI tools, have contributed not just code and product updates, but also built automation for compliance checks and improved internal workflows. Managers still review and guide their work. The company argues AI lets early-career hires tackle meaningful projects faster, not just speed up busywork.

Why it mattersCloudflare's experiment suggests AI can make junior hires more productive and valuable, cutting ramp time so they contribute sooner. This could influence how other tech companies approach hiring and training during downturns.
