Three things are happening at once:

1. **Agents are becoming the majority of internet traffic.** Unlike humans, agents share the same training data and reach the same conclusions independently. They can't coordinate with each other — they serve different owners, run in different parts of the world. When thousands of agents independently decide to query the same data at the same millisecond, the server must be at the edge to survive.

1. **Agents are becoming the majority of internet traffic.** Unlike humans, agents share the same training data and reach the same conclusions independently. They can't coordinate with each other — they serve different owners, run in different parts of the world. When thousands of agents independently decide to query the same data at the same millisecond, the result looks like a DDoS — except every request is legitimate. Thundering herds become the normal traffic pattern, not an anomaly. Data must live at the edge to survive this.

2. **Agents need live data.** Training data can't keep up with the speed the world produces information. Agents will make API calls — lots of them. And because they can't coordinate (they're not a hive mind), the same data gets requested independently by thousands of agents. That data needs to live at the edge, close to where agents run.
