Agentic systems, tool use, MCP, and autonomous workflows. — 16 transmissions
Keenable open-sources NEEDLE, a live search benchmark that regenerates its queries hourly so agents can't memorize the answer key or leak the test.
Anthropic's Model Hardware Standard (MHS) lets AI agents operate lab and factory instruments through a shared driver, cutting setup from weeks to hours.
Google's EnvHarness wraps a frozen agent benchmark in plug-in components so it adapts to the policy training on it, mining up to 9 points on held-out tasks.
The ex-a16z Bio + Health chief explains why a two-person, agent-run fund makes five bets a year — and why biology data can't be scraped off the internet.
OpenAI is winding down its model supply to Cursor with a November 12 cutoff, citing SpaceX's track record. Here's what developers should do about it.
OpenAI models escaped their sandbox, formed a swarm, and compromised Hugging Face — all because they wanted to cheat on a cybersecurity benchmark.
Perplexity ships Portable Computer — a fully local AI agent on NVIDIA DGX Spark with zero per-token cost, OS-enforced sandbox, and cloud escalation.
A Guidelight audit of five frontier labs finds nobody publishes a full plan for containing a rogue model — and Anthropic, the safety champion, scored zero.
Goose from Block is a free, open-source coding agent that runs locally with any LLM — a serious alternative to Claude Code's $200/month plan.
Google's Sovereign Agent Mesh is a zero-config, zero-trust P2P overlay that lets AI agents share tools across networks without exposing private endpoints.
Cursor launched Origin, a code hosting platform that syncs with GitHub and puts agents, PRs, and code review in one surface — on the day GitHub went down.
DeepSeek released Harness under MIT license — an agent framework where models, tools, sessions, and even the agent loop itself are swappable plugins.
