A recent article explains Cloudflare Computer, an open-source runtime specifically designed for building AI agents.
The tool argues that "agents don't always need a container," providing developers with a comprehensive infrastructure setup, including:

- File read/write/edit tools
- Native Git support
- Shell execution capabilities
- Optional browser environment support
This offers a new solution for developing AI agents within lightweight, serverless architectures.
