Cloudflare Distributes First $301,300 of $1M Vite Ecosystem Fund to 44 Projects

Cloudflare has launched the Vite Ecosystem Fund, distributing the first $301,300 of the $1M committed when VoidZero joined Cloudflare to 44 projects and maintainers across the Vite ecosystem.
The blog post argues AI is reshaping open source:
- AI-generated PRs are flooding in while reviewer counts stay flat, so maintainers now prompt their own agents to negotiate with contributors' agents;
- Easy AI feature replication creates a grinding treadmill where projects race to keep up, some losing sight of original goals;
- Burnout and sustainability issues have been dramatically accelerated — the reason funding feels urgent.
This is the first round, with more distributions to follow.
