Good - need to:
- Standardize on
@cloudflare/actorsfor the name - Expand on the benefits - break out SQL migrations into its own bullet point
- Maybe say that the
@cloudflare/actorslibrary will be the recommend way to build on Durable Objects - Explain that you can always drop down to the direct Durable Object APIs whenever needed.

| [@cloudflare/actors](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@cloudflare/actors) package is in alpha and provides a SDK for Durable Objects, in addition to Durable Objects [Workers API](https://developers.cloudflare.com/durable-objects/api/base/). "Actors" originates from the [actor programming model](/durable-objects/what-are-durable-objects/#actor-programming-model), which is a close analogy for Durable Objects. |

| The new [@cloudflare/actors](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@cloudflare/actors) library now is in beta! | |
| The `@cloudflare/actors` library is a new SDK for Durable Objects, and provides a powerful set of abstractions for building multiplayer, collaborative and/or WebSockets-based applications on top of Durable Objects. | |
| The name "actors" originates from the [actor programming model](/durable-objects/what-are-durable-objects/#actor-programming-model), which closely ties to how Durable Objects are modelled. |
package -> library
alpha -> beta?
