Cloudflare Acquires VoidZero to Build the Future of the AI-Native Web

• Acquisition brings Vite, the world’s leading JavaScript build tool, and its core open source team to Cloudflare
• Cloudflare commits $1 million to an independent Vite ecosystem fund to support open source maintainers and contributors

SAN FRANCISCO, June 5 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- Cloudflare, Inc. (NYSE: NET), the leading connectivity cloud company, today announced it has acquired VoidZero, the open source-first company behind the next-generation JavaScript tooling ecosystem Vite. The acquisition will unify VoidZero’s high-performance tooling — including the Vite build tool, Vitest test runner, Rust-based Rolldown bundler and Oxc toolchain — natively into the Cloudflare ecosystem. By merging Cloudflare’s global edge network and Workers developer platform with the modern web's industry-standard toolchain, Cloudflare is creating a frictionless, one-click deployment stack from local code straight to Cloudflare’s global network.

Application development is undergoing a fundamental shift. The rise of autonomous AI coding agents has ushered in an era of rapid application scaffolding where speed and local-to-production predictability are paramount. VoidZero’s toolchain, anchored by Vite, has emerged as the shared substrate for the web ecosystem, capturing over 130 million weekly downloads. The Cloudflare Vite plugin has reached 13.9 million weekly downloads — equivalent to more than 10% of Vite’s entire weekly volume — proving that developers are already choosing this combined stack for AI-coded applications.

"The best engineers I know are shipping more code than ever, and writing less of it by hand. AI is doing more of the typing — so everything around it has to keep up,” said Matthew Prince, co-founder and CEO of Cloudflare. "Evan and his team built Vite from scratch with the same philosophy we used to build Cloudflare: strip out the bloat and make it fast. Bringing them on board gives millions of developers, and the AI agents working alongside them, the fastest path from local code to our global network.”

VoidZero’s team of open source creators and Rust optimization specialists, led by widely recognized Vue.js and Vite creator Evan You, will join Cloudflare’s Emerging Technology and Incubation (ETI) organization. The team will continue to advance VoidZero's open source roadmap while accelerating deep integration with the Cloudflare Workers developer platform.

"Our mission at VoidZero has always been to eliminate the fragmentation and performance bottlenecks of the modern web stack," said Evan You, founder and CEO of VoidZero. "Cloudflare shares our obsession with speed and architectural purity. Joining forces allows us to keep the Vite ecosystem neutral, open, and vendor-agnostic, while giving us the resources and global infrastructure to supercharge the developer experience for millions of engineers worldwide."

By integrating VoidZero’s hyper-performant, Rust-based tooling directly into Cloudflare’s Workers developer platform, Cloudflare will unify the entire software development lifecycle. Developers and autonomous AI agents alike will be able to move from an idea to global production instantly via a native, pluggable vite deploy ecosystem. Through this acquisition, Cloudflare plans to drive a project-centric development paradigm, focusing on three core initiatives:
Unify the Developer Pipeline: Align the Cloudflare CLI natively with the seamless Vite workflow developers already love, bringing a frictionless end-to-end experience to every creator.
Enable Intent-Based Infrastructure: Evolve toward a workflow where a single Vite deploy command handles everything. If application logic declares a need for a database or an object store, a Vite application with Cloudflare integration will automatically detect that intent and natively provision Cloudflare resources like D1 or R2 — with no manual dashboard intervention required.
Maintain Open Source Steward Neutrality: Vite, Rolldown, Oxc, and Vitest will remain open source, vendor-agnostic and community-driven. Vite, Vitest, Rolldown, Oxc, and Vite+ will remain strictly open source under MIT licenses. Cloudflare is committing $1 million to a new independent Vite ecosystem fund to support community maintainers and contributors who are independent of both VoidZero and Cloudflare.

"At Lovable, we are empowering developers to build and deploy full-stack applications at unprecedented scale. An open and predictable toolchain is absolutely critical to that mission. As agents handle increasingly complex, real-time tasks, they require an underlying architecture that is performant and modular,” said Fabian Hedin, CTO and co-founder of Loveable. “By building our automated pipeline on Vite and leveraging its open ecosystem, we’ve been able to radically accelerate how AI agents generate, compile, and ship code. We have worked closely with the Cloudflare and VoidZero teams, and we’re excited to continue supporting and benefiting from the ecosystem they’ve helped create. Open-source infrastructure like Vite plays a critical role in the future of software development, and we’re encouraged to see its development remain independent and transparent.”

SKHTU Announces Security System Upgrade, Using Advanced Technology to Reshape Trust

DENVER, June 3 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Recently, SKHTU Exchange announced the completion of its multi-layer protection system upgrade, focusing on strengthening cold storage isolation mechanisms, multi-signature architecture, and intelligent audit systems. This upgrade aims to institutionalize technical safeguards, creating a higher level of asset security and trust mechanism.

SKHTU brand spokesperson Anna Kowalski explained: “The new security system is designed around active defense and verifiable trust. The platform integrates cold storage, signature mechanisms, and intelligent audit modules into a unified architecture, forming a complete chain from asset storage to operation verification and risk tracking.”

At the asset storage level, SKHTU Exchange adopts a financial-grade cold storage architecture, with all private keys isolated and stored in hardware security modules (HSMs). The system operates with a “multi-layer isolation + offline signature” approach. The technical lead stated that the core concept is a “zero-trust architecture”—every component must be verified, security relies on structural design rather than assumptions.

In operation control, the platform implements a multi-signature mechanism to achieve algorithmic consensus, distributing signing authority across different geographic nodes, and only executing when preset thresholds are met. Additionally, the intelligent risk control module can automatically identify abnormal signing sequences or timestamp deviations, making security an algorithmic self-calibrating process rather than dependent on individual management.

SKHTU Exchange has introduced an automated audit module that encrypts and verifies logs and operation records, pushing them to the security department for validation and forming external review. The platform also uses AI to analyze historical audit data and predict potential risks, transforming from “passive monitoring” to “active defense.”

To verify system reliability, SKHTU has partnered with multiple international security agencies to conduct penetration tests and system evaluations. Results show the platform protection architecture can effectively counter malicious intrusions, data tampering, and privilege abuse in high-risk scenarios, while maintaining stable operation.

Industry experts note that the security system of SKHTU Exchange demonstrates the shift in digital finance from “passive defense” to “structural governance.” By eliminating risks with cutting-edge security solutions, this technology-driven multi-layer protection system sets a new industry standard and makes trust the most competitive asset of the platform.

GAMBIT CYBER UNVEILS VIZIER AI FOR AUTONOMOUS CYBERSECURITY OPERATIONS

KUALA LUMPUR, June 3 (Bernama) -- Gambit Cyber B.V., a Netherlands-headquartered cybersecurity company, has launched Vizier AI, its next-generation Agentic Security Workflow Automation platform.

According to Gambit Cyber in a statement, the platform uses coordinated artificial intelligence (AI) agents to continuously monitor threats, orchestrate incident response, and manage cyber risk without requiring manual intervention from security teams.

“The launch of Vizier AI represents a fundamental shift in how organisations approach cyber defence. We are not simply automating existing workflows; we are deploying a coordinated intelligence layer that thinks, analyses, and acts continuously on behalf of security teams.

“AI agents operating in concert can process signals, correlate threats, and orchestrate responses at a speed and scale that is simply beyond human capacity alone,” said Gambit Cyber Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer, Anuj Kumar.

The launch addresses a widening gap between the complexity of today’s threat landscape and the shrinking resources available to corporate security operations.

Built as a core component of the KnightGuard platform, Vizier AI acts as an autonomous Security Intelligence Workspace and leverages a coordinated network of autonomous AI agents that continuously monitor threats, analyse security data, orchestrate workflows, and deliver actionable insights for faster and more informed decision-making.

The platform enables organisations to scale security operations through AI-driven automation while maintaining visibility, governance, and control across their exposure management programmes.

Its key capabilities include threat detection through continuous AI-driven attack surface monitoring, workflow automation to reduce manual security tasks, accelerated incident response using autonomous AI agents, and intelligence generation by transforming raw security data into actionable insights.

AM BEST UPGRADES FUSURE REINSURANCE ON CAPITAL STRENGTH, TENCENT BACKING

KUALA LUMPUR, June 3 (Bernama) -- Global credit rating agency, AM Best has upgraded the financial strength rating to A (Excellent) from A- (Excellent) and the long-term issuer credit ratings to “a” (Excellent) from “a-” (Excellent) of Hong Kong’s FuSure Reinsurance Company Limited (FuSure).

The outlook of these credit ratings (ratings) is stable, reflecting FuSure’s balance sheet strength, which AM Best assesses as very strong, as well as its adequate operating performance, neutral business profile and appropriate enterprise risk management.

According to AM Best in a statement, the ratings also reflect the implicit and explicit support from its ultimate parent, Tencent Holdings Limited (Tencent).

The upgrade reflects FuSure’s strengthened balance sheet, supported by two rounds of capital injections from shareholders and anticipated additional capital commitments in the medium term, alongside the company’s successful execution of its business plan.

Since its establishment in 2021, FuSure has focused on building its presence in health reinsurance in the Greater China region while leveraging Tencent’s support in business development, product innovation, and distribution.

While health reinsurance remains its core business, FuSure has been diversifying across product lines, geographies, distribution channels, and client segments, including expansion into long-term health reinsurance and commercial property business.

The company’s strong balance sheet is supported by risk-adjusted capitalisation at the strongest level as of year-end 2025 and in projected years, as measured by Best’s Capital Adequacy Ratio. Additional supporting factors include its diversified and liquid investment portfolio, mainly in fixed income and cash equivalents, and a conservative reinsurance strategy with high-credit-quality retrocessionaires.

FuSure has delivered positive operating performance since its second year of operation and continues to execute its business plan with discipline, consistently meeting its budgeted bottom line, supported largely by stable investment income from its fixed-income portfolio.

AM Best expects FuSure to continue benefiting from its parent group through both explicit capital support and implicit advantages, including competitive strengths in health product design and pricing sophistication.

ARGOSVISION SHOWCASES 3D VISION SYSTEM AT ECHELON SINGAPORE 2026

KUALA LUMPUR, June 3 (Bernama) -- ArgosVision, a South Korean robotics vision startup, has announced its participation at Echelon Singapore 2026 on June 3 to 4, showcasing its panoramic 3D vision system, ArgosVue, and exploring collaboration opportunities with partners in the intelligent robotics industry.

ArgosVue is a next-generation 3D vision system designed to provide robots with a human-like wide field of view for improved spatial awareness and human interaction. The system offers a 200-degree horizontal and 140-degree vertical field of view, delivering twice the coverage of conventional 3D vision sensors.

Its Chief Executive Officer, Ki-Yeong Park said ArgosVue was inspired by the concept of giving robots human-like vision, making it suitable for physical AI applications, particularly in data collection and imitation learning.

ArgosVision in a statement said the expanded field of view enables robots to perceive surrounding obstacles as well as floor and terrain conditions simultaneously, supporting navigation in unstructured and dynamic environments.

Even when a person is positioned as close as 50 centimetres from the robot, the individual’s full body remains within the sensor’s view, while the system can also detect people approaching from side angles rather than only from the front.

By offering a panoramic, human-level perspective, ArgosVue supports more complete datasets and smoother integration into robot learning pipelines.

During the event, ArgosVision will conduct live demonstrations of ArgosVue and engage with robotics companies, potential partners, and customers across Singapore and Southeast Asia.

JAPAN LIFE INSURERS’ REINSURANCE USE MORE THAN DOUBLED SINCE 2020 - AM BEST

KUALA LUMPUR, June 3 (Bernama) -- Japan’s life insurers have increasingly relied on reinsurance in recent years, with the overall cession rate as a percentage of total gross premium written for the segment rising to more than 24 per cent in 2023 and 2024 from just under 10 per cent in 2020, according to a new AM Best report.

According to Best’s Special Report, “Japan Life Insurers Increase Use of Reinsurance,” the implementation of the Japan Insurance Capital Standard, or J-ICS, at the end of March 2026 has prompted insurers to increase their use of reinsurance as solvency ratios become more sensitive to interest-rate movements, asset-liability mismatches, policy lapses, and longevity and mortality risks.

“Japanese life insurers have been increasingly using asset-intensive reinsurance to transfer investment, longevity, and insurance risks from capital-intensive annuity and long-term life insurance blocks to third-party reinsurers ahead of the implementation of J-ICS.

“The maturity and size of Japan’s life/annuity insurance market make it an attractive opportunity for reinsurers providing asset-intensive reinsurance solutions,” said AM Best senior industry research analyst, Cynthia Ang in a statement.

According to the report, the heightened activity has led to a sharp increase in reinsurance leverage, with the industry aggregate rising to 14.8 per cent at the end of 2024 from 4.8 per cent in 2020. The metric measures reinsurance ceded as a percentage of capital and surplus.

AM Best's analysis showed that Dai-ichi Frontier Life Insurance Co, Prudential Gibraltar Financial Life Insurance, and MetLife Insurance K.K. each recorded reinsurance leverage ratios exceeding 500 per cent in 2024.

While only an estimated one to two per cent of total in-force individual life insurance and annuity business was ceded to reinsurers in fiscal years 2023 and 2024, cessions are expected to increase as asset-intensive and offshore reinsurance become more widely used by Japanese life insurers.

Japan’s Financial Services Agency is tightening oversight of such transactions due to concerns over private equity involvement, asset liquidity, and complex cross-border collateral arrangements, the report said.
