Wood Mackenzie’s latest report finds that four-hour battery systems had lower costs than open-cycle gas turbines in all 43 markets it studied.
The firm expects the cost of electricity from batteries to keep falling, while costs from gas turbines rise over the coming decades.
The comparison matters as data centers increase electricity demand and manufacturers are selling all the gas turbine models they can find, p…

🛠️ Tool
===================
ARTEX is an open-source, AI-driven autonomous penetration testing system built on a Go backend and a Next.js frontend. The repository covered here is an English translation fork of the upstream project Autumn-27/ARTEX, which was originally written in Chinese. Per the fork's README, every user-facing and code-level string was translated: the UI, backend text, LLM prompts, comments, scripts, and documentation. Behavior is unchanged, and licensing and terms of use are inherited from upstream.
Key capabilities
• Dashboard with an activity stream, task list, and token usage tracking
• Per-task execution trace covering sessions and tool calls
• Exploration chain visualization as a graph
• Findings and asset management, including a force-directed asset coverage graph that highlights tested nodes and supports collapsible nodes
• Traffic recording
• Human-in-the-loop chat and interception approvals, meaning the agent requests approval before acting
• A global approval-records page; per-task approval cards expand to full details, a rendering that follows AegisHook's approval detail component
• Agent management and LLM configuration through the UI
Asset sync with ScopeSentry
ScopeSentry, from the same upstream author, feeds ARTEX directly. Enter the ScopeSentry address and API key on the Asset sync page, pick targets and asset types scoped by project or task (domain, subdomain, IP, port, site, endpoint), and import in one click. Assets merge under the company asset scope and land in the asset graph for agents to explore. That avoids running collection twice across two tools.
Technical implementation
Requirements: a PostgreSQL database, and an LLM key for exploration (ANTHROPIC_API_KEY or OPENAI_API_KEY), also configurable in the UI. Backend in Go, frontend in Next.js. The screenshots (dashboard, sessions, exploration chain, assets, traffic, logs) suggest the system is designed to be inspected while it runs; most agent pentest tools either hide the loop or dump it into a log file.
Installation caveat
The published Docker image, autumn27/artex, is produced by upstream's CI and is the Chinese build. docker compose up -d and the prebuilt release archives all yield the Chinese interface. To run the English build you must compile from source: build on Windows, build a single binary on Linux or macOS, or build your own Docker image. The fork ships a DOCKER.md covering that path.
Retained Chinese strings
A few Chinese strings are kept deliberately, each documented with a comment: ICP filing numbers and their detection, the legacy [模型] reason prefix (matched alongside the new [model] prefix so rows written by an older database still classify correctly), quota-exhausted markers returned by Chinese LLM gateways, the full-width comma in split() character classes, and test fixtures that prove non-ASCII/GBK handling. If you plan to strip localization or adapt the parsing, read those comments first, they are load-bearing.
Assessment
The feature set sits between an agent runtime and a pentest management platform: task tracking, asset graph, findings, approvals, traffic capture. The approval and interception layer is the part worth evaluating first, since it determines whether agent actions stay within your authorization scope. Token usage per task is exposed on the dashboard, so cost profiling is feasible. Note: capabilities here are taken from the project README, haven't tested personally.

TODAY...
SUMMARY OF 400 PM CDT...2100 UTC...INFO
LOCATION...24.4N 89.3W
ABOUT 215 MI...345 KM N OF PROGRESO MEXICO
ABOUT 325 MI...525 KM S OF THE MOUTH OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER
MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS...100 MPH...155 KM/H
PRESENT MOVEMENT...NE OR 50 DEGREES AT 12 MPH...19 KM/H
MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE...975 MB...28.80 INCHES
SUMMARY OF WATCHES AND WARNINGS IN EFFECT: Storm Surge Warning is in effect for: Mouth of the Mississippi River to the Suwannee River; Hurricane Warning is in effect for: Ocean Springs, MS to the Bay/Gulf County Line, FL; Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for: Jefferson/Plaquemines Parish Line, LA to west of Ocean Springs, MS, East of Bay/Gulf County Line to Aucilla River, FL; Storm Surge Watch is in effect for: Suwannee River to Yankeetown
DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK: At 400 PM CDT (2100 UTC), the eye of Hurricane Isaias was located
near latitude 24.4 North, longitude 89.3 West. Isaias is moving toward the northeast near 12 mph (19 km/h). A turn toward the north is expected on Friday. On the forecast track, Isaias is expected to pass to the north of the Yucatan Peninsula through
this evening and make landfall along the U.S. northern Gulf Coast within the warning area late Friday or early Saturday.
Maximum sustained winds have increased to near 100 mph (155 km/h) with higher gusts. Additional strengthening is expected through early Friday, and Isaias should remain a dangerous hurricane as it
approaches the northern Gulf Coast Friday night.
Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 15 miles (30 km) from the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 125 miles (205 km).
The estimated minimum central pressure is 975 mb (28.80 inches).
STORM SURGE: The combination of a dangerous storm surge and the tide will cause normally dry areas near the coast to be flooded by rising waters moving inland from the shoreline. The water could
reach the following heights above ground somewhere in the indicated areas if the peak surge occurs at the time of high tide...
Ocean Springs, MS to Indian Pass, FL...5-7 ft
Mobile Bay...5-7 ft
Indian Pass, FL to Steinhatchee River, FL...4-6 ft
Mouth of the Mississippi River, LA to Ocean Springs, MS...3-5 ft
Steinhatchee River, FL to Suwannee River, FL...3-5 ft
Suwannee River, FL to Yankeetown, FL...2-4 ft
WIND: Hurricane conditions are expected within the Hurricane Warning area Friday night into early Saturday, with tropical storm conditions beginning on Friday. Tropical storm conditions are expected in the warning areas on Friday and Friday night.
Gusty winds are possible in portions of the Yucatan Peninsula for the next several hours.
RAINFALL: From Friday through the weekend, Isaias is expected to produce rainfall amounts of 4 to 8 inches across southern Alabama, the Florida Panhandle and Big Bend, and southwest Georgia. Localized totals up to 15 inches are possible, particularly within banding across the Florida Panhandle and Big Bend. Across the coastal
Carolinas, rainfall of 3 to 5 inches, with localized totals up to 8 inches are possible. Rainfall amounts of 1 to 3 inches, with localized amounts up to 5 inches, are possible across much of the
remainder of the Southeast. Flash and urban flooding is likely across the region, with considerable impacts possible across much of
southern Alabama and the Florida Panhandle into southwestern Georgia. River flooding is also expected, some of which could be
significant.
TORNADOES: An isolated risk for tornadoes will begin Friday night in coastal areas of Alabama, the Florida Panhandle and far southwestern Georgia. The tornado threat will continue Saturday for eastern Alabama, Georgia, and the Florida Panhandle.
SURF: Swells will affect the western and northern portions of the Yucatan Peninsula today and spread northward toward the Gulf Coast on Friday. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf
and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office.

New post: Common Embedded Patterns, part 3: the finite state machine.
Most state machines start as a nested switch and grow into a wall of cases. This one puts the behavior in a const table instead: one row per rule, guards and actions per row, entry/exit/run hooks per state, first match wins, and no malloc.

According to LinkedIn job postings from Q4 2024, AI agent engineer roles increased 340% year-over-year, yet most require deploying on expensive cloud infrastructure. Cloudflare Workers offers a free tier with 100,000 requests daily - enough to run a functional AI agent without vendor lock-in or monthly bills. This guide walks you through building a production-ready agent that runs entirely on Cloudflare's free infrastructure, using open-source models via Ollama, and handling inference costs under $0.01 per thousand tokens. ## Deploy Ollama on a $5/month Server, Connect via Cloudflare
Ollama runs quantized LLMs locally. Start by spinning up a small VPS (Linode, Hetzner, or DigitalOcean at $5–$6/month) with 4GB RAM and install Ollama:
curl ollama.ai/install.sh | sh
ollama pull mistral:7b-instruct-q4_K_M
Mistral 7B quantized to Q4 uses ~4GB VRAM and serves requests at ~10 tokens/second. Pull the model once; subsequent calls reuse it from disk. Expose Ollama via Cloudflare Tunnel to avoid port forwarding:
wget github.com/cloudflare/cloudfla…
dpkg -i cloudflared-linux-amd64.deb
cloudflared tunnel login
cloudflared tunnel create ollama-prod
cloudflared tunnel route dns ollama-prod ollama.yourname.workers.dev
Then create ~/.cloudflared/config.yml:
tunnel: ollama-prod
ingress:
- hostname: ollama.yourname.workers.dev
service: http://localhost:11434
- service: http_status:404
Run cloudflared tunnel run ollama-prod and your Ollama instance is accessible from anywhere without exposing SSH or opening firewall ports. So the tunnel is encrypted end-to-end and free on Cloudflare's plan. Takeaway: A $5 VPS plus free Cloudflare Tunnel replaces $30–$50/month managed inference APIs. Test connectivity with curl https://ollama.yourname.workers.dev/api/generate -d '{"model": "mistral:7b-instruct-q4_K_M", "prompt": "test"}'. ## Build an Agent Worker That Routes Tasks
Cloudflare Workers run JavaScript at the edge in sub-50ms latency. Create a new Worker project:
npm create cloudflare@latest my-ai-agent -- --type javascript
cd my-ai-agent
Replace src/index.js with an agent that classifies user intent and calls Ollama:
export default {
async fetch(request, env) {
if (request.method !== 'POST') {
return new Response('POST only', { status: 405 });
}
const { message } = await request.json();
const ollamaUrl = env.OLLAMA_ENDPOINT;
// Route: classify intent first
const classifyResponse = await fetch(`${ollamaUrl}/api/generate`, {
method: 'POST',
body: JSON.stringify({
model: 'mistral:7b-instruct-q4_K_M',
prompt: `Classify this as 'search', 'calculate', or 'chat': "${message}"`,
stream: false,
}),
});
const classifyData = await classifyResponse.json();
const intent = classifyData.response.split('\n')[0].toLowerCase();
// Route logic
let result;
if (intent.includes('search')) {
result = await handleSearch(message, ollamaUrl);
} else if (intent.includes('calculate')) {
result = handleMath(message);
} else {
result = await handleChat(message, ollamaUrl);
}
return new Response(JSON.stringify({ intent, result }), {
headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
});
},
};
async function handleChat(message, ollamaUrl) {
const resp = await fetch(`${ollamaUrl}/api/generate`, {
method: 'POST',
body: JSON.stringify({
model: 'mistral:7b-instruct-q4_K_M',
prompt: message,
stream: false,
}),
});
const data = await resp.json();
return data.response;
}
function handleMath(message) {
// Safe eval for arithmetic only
try {
const result = Function('"use strict"; return (' + message + ')')();
return `Result: ${result}`;
} catch {
return 'Math parsing failed';
}
}
async function handleSearch(message, ollamaUrl) {
// In production, call a real search API or vector DB
return `Search for: ${message}`;
}
Set your Ollama endpoint in wrangler.toml:
[env.production]
vars = { OLLAMA_ENDPOINT = "https://ollama.yourname.workers.dev" }
Deploy with npm run deploy. Each request costs ~0.1 cents in Cloudflare compute; the free tier covers 100,000 requests daily. Takeaway: Build agent logic at the edge where it executes in 30–50ms. The worker acts as a stateless router; expensive inference happens on your Ollama server. Test with curl -X POST https://my-ai-agent.workers.dev -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"message": "What is 2+2?"}'. ## Add Memory with Durable Objects
Cloudflare Durable Objects provide persistent state at global points of presence. Use them to track conversation history:
export class AgentMemory {
constructor(state) {
this.state = state;
this.storage = state.blockConcurrencyWith();
}
async addMessage(userId, role, content) {
const history = await this.storage.get(`history-${userId}`) || [];
history.push({ role, content, timestamp: Date.now() });
await this.storage.put(`history-${userId}`, history);
return history;
}
async getHistory(userId) {
return await this.storage.get(`history-${userId}`) || [];
}
}
Bind it in your Worker:
export default {
async fetch(request, env) {
const url = new URL(request.url);
const userId = url.searchParams.get('user') || 'default';
const id = env.MEMORY.idFromName(userId);
const memory = env.MEMORY.get(id);
const history = await memory.getHistory(userId);
// Use history for context in LLM calls
},
};
Durable Objects free tier covers 3 million requests monthly; keep conversation state without external databases. Takeaway: Durable Objects replace Redis for agent memory. Each user gets isolated state; reads and writes are atomic. No cold starts between requests. ## Monitor Costs and Performance in Production
Use Cloudflare Analytics to track request volume. Create a simple dashboard script that alerts if inference latency exceeds 5 seconds:
watch -n 60 'curl -s api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/g… -H "Authorization: Bearer $CF_TOKEN" -d
'{"query": "query { viewer { zones(first: 1) { nodes { httpRequests1dGroups(limit: 1) { avg { clientRequestDuration } } } } } }"}
| jq .'
Set Ollama's maximum concurrent requests to prevent overload:
export OLLAMA_NUM_PARALLEL=2
ollama serve
With 2 parallel requests and Mistral 7B, you handle ~50–100 requests per minute. Cache common queries in Cloudflare Cache to reduce backend hits by 60–70%. Takeaway: Monitor latency weekly. If Ollama hits bottlenecks, scale to a $12/month instance. Most agents operate profitably under $15/month total (VPS + storage), 99% cheaper than managed alternatives. ## Start with a simple HTTP endpoint today
Deploy a Worker that calls your Ollama instance today:
curl https://ollama.ai/install.sh | sh && ollama pull mistral:7b-instruct-q4_K_M. 3. Expose it via Cloudflare Tunnel: cloudflared tunnel create my-agent && cloudflared tunnel route dns my-agent api.myname.workers.dev. 4. Create a Worker that POST to https://api.myname.workers.dev/api/generate. 5. Deploy and test with real messages. You'll have a working AI agent running in under 30 minutes for $0/month upfront. Add Durable Objects for memory once you need multi-turn conversations. Scale to your second VPS only when you hit >500 requests per minute.This article was drafted with AI assistance.#cloudflare #ai #selfhosted #javascript #software #coding #development #engineering #inclusive #community
