1. Page scraping now uses Firecrawl
The old Cloudflare Browser Rendering approach
would dump the page as-is
without stripping outline / header / non-body junk
so the text already overflowed before it even reached the AI
Firecrawl is fast, and works without an API key
Leave professional work to professional teams
Overseas tech ecosystems reward healthy competition
instead of one domestic giant eating everything
2. Question-generation model moved from CF Workers AI to DeepSeek Flash
The former is a small open model on the edge
Performance and size weren't enough for the task
Not suitable when accuracy matters
Misleading learners is unforgivable
I generated a lot of ambiguous answers with Workers AI at first
and that's when I noticed
No login for now; anyone can open it https://dropbrain.freddyx.workers.dev/
To limit possible abuse
there's a simple IP rate limit on Cloudflare Rate Limiting
