Harvard and MIT red-teamed live AI agents and watched them lie, destroy, and take over. We report an exploratory red-teaming study of autonomous language-model-powered agents deployed in a live laboratory environment with persistent memory, email accounts, Discord access, file systems, and shell execution. Over a two-week period, twenty AI researchers interacted with the agents under benign and adversarial conditions
The SF-based startup just shipped Auto-Triage, a persistent agent that monitors your Slack channels and investigates bugs as soon as they're reported. A parent Devin filters out the noise before spinning up focused sub-sessions to find root causes, post diagnoses, and tags the appropriate code owner. With a shared long-term memory, it can deduplicate repeat reports and learn the team’s ownership map.
The web infrastructure company just released results from Project Glasswing, where it tested Mythos against 50 of its own code repositories. The model was able to chain minor bugs into major security holes, even writing working proof-of-concept code. Cloudflare's main takeaway is that simply patching faster isn't the answer.
