Cloudflare launched Adaptive Intelligence, a bot-detection engine that it says now continuously retrains on live traffic behind its bot score. The company said the engine aggregates network signals to estimate automated-abuse probability for each request, allowing detection to change without a scheduled model release. Cloudflare also outlined planned disposable detection rules and cross-customer learning components. It said the system is intended to detect both rapid bot activity and slower distributed attacks that evade per-address thresholds.
