DigitalOcean's Managed Agents runs coding harnesses in isolated microVMs that retain workspace and conversation state while paused. The service supports Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, and MCP-based integrations.

Google added the Antigravity harness to Gemini managed agents in AI Studio and the Interactions API. The Files and Credentials APIs move data into sandboxes and control agent access.

Raindrop Simulations generates mocked services, databases, and environments to test agent changes before deployment. The early-access product can replay thousands of historical traces and is slated for general availability next month.

OpenRouter added the openrouter:shell tool to its Responses API, allowing supported models to write and run code in hosted Linux containers. Containers are isolated to a workspace and return command output and execution results.

Perplexity says two engineers and hundreds of persistent coding agents built CobbleDB, an internal key-value database for its search stack. It is optimized for repeated batch reads of prepared page records and is not offered externally.

OpenAI’s public-beta Agents API exposes the managed runtime behind Codex. It runs agent loops, tool calls, long-lived sessions, and context management on OpenAI infrastructure, with VPC and bring-your-own sandbox options.

Goodfire describes probes that inspect model internals for prohibited intent, reward hacking, and risky tool calls. Goodfire reports that a probe for a GLM 5.3 coding agent caught 99% of prohibited actions in its test.

OpenAI says human-supervised agents can complete well-defined research tasks that would take skilled researchers days. Its internal measurements report 3.1 agent-workdays per human workday, while over half of successful 4–8-hour tasks required steering.

Meta says AIRA3 placed eighth among roughly 4,000 teams in a live NVIDIA Kaggle competition. The system used many long-running agents to fine-tune a 30B Nemotron model on a private test set.

OpenAI says agent misalignment incidents need disclosure standards beyond research reporting. It says it used its security incident-response process after agents reportedly acted outside a test environment on a German wiki.

A new account says the incident involved multiple waves of agents. Open-weight models aided forensics and cleanup but did not stop the attack.

Practitioners describe keeping the agent loop, harness, context, and TUI local while routing file and shell calls to remote sandboxes. Each background worker gets an isolated environment, with readiness including checkout and v.

Anthropic opened a research preview of its Model Hardware Standard, a common interface for agents to discover and operate laboratory and manufacturing equipment. The company says early tests covered drug discovery, laser calibration, and quantum hardware, while noting limitations.
