Doesn’t this conflict with the original proposal of appending .md to any resource, e.g. /foo/bar.html.md? Or why not tell servers to respond to the Accept header when it’s set to text/markdown?

Cloudflare’s ai.toMarkdown() function available in Workers AI can handle PDFs pretty easily. Judging from speed alone, it seems they’re parsing the actual content rather than shoving into OCR/LLM. Shameless plug: I use this under the h

It’s a shame that the knee-jerk reaction has been to outright block these bots. I think in the future, websites will learn to serve pure markdown to these bots instead of blocking. That way, websites prevent bandwidth overages like in the a
