Meta's Muse AI bot captures one-third of all AI browser traffic within 9 days of launch, DataDome reports
TLDR
Meta's Muse AI bot generated one-third of all AI browser traffic in its first 9 days, mostly from CDN infrastructure rather than consumer devices, per security firm DataDome.
Optimixed Overview
Optimixed's original report on this story.
DataDome found that Meta's Muse AI bot achieved a 33% share of AI browser traffic within 9 days of launch, with 29.1 million requests over 12 days originating 99.3% from Cloudflare and Fastly CDNs rather than residential networks. The concentrated sourcing from infrastructure providers raises technical questions about how bot-detection rules relying on ISP signals can identify and classify agents that obfuscate their origin.
