AI agents have expanded inference from single-turn interactions into multi-step workflows that reason, invoke tools, coordinate subagents, and carry growing context from one turn to the next. The scale of this shift is now visible in raw consumption: across 100 trillion tokens of real-world usage, OpenRouter’s State of AI report found that average prompt tokens per request grew roughly fourfold… Source

Traditional cloud infrastructure was designed for predictable, general-purpose workloads and standard interfaces. Agentic AI factories connect diverse users, agents, applications, data sources, and storage systems to massively accelerated compute at multi-terabit bandwidth per server, making dedicated DPU processing essential for line-rate networking, storage, and security.

Inside the frontier lab’s push to bring AI agents from software engineers to the masses.

Simon Willison argues effective AI coding agents require instruction and verification skills beyond line-by-line code review.

Joon Sung Park (Simile AI) argues simulation as a scaling law; discusses 8B digital twins and evolution from Generative Agents research to productized agents.

Nvidia research shows that AI agents can perform well, and not go off the deep end, through fine-tuning, even if the AI model isn't that great at the task.

Single researcher used AI agents with formal verification to design and tape out RISC-V processor in five weeks on consumer subscriptions.

Thomas Ptacek argues AI-powered coding agents make building native GUIs cost-effective enough to replace terminal UIs for personal tools.

Cross-agent specification portability: Claude, Gemini, Copilot on Oracle-to-PostgreSQL migration; 380/1006 successful executions.

AID-Guard introduces stateful authorization protocol for tool-using agents to prevent duplicate effects and state conflicts.

Graph engineering framework enabling LLM agents to coordinate heterogeneous expertise and parallel subtasks via system-level orchestration.

A frontier language model is only one component of an AI agent. The surrounding agent system—often called a harness—determines how the model receives context, uses tools, maintains state, responds to feedback, recovers from failure, and sustains progress over long-running tasks. The challenge is how to build the agent architecture that makes frontier language models work reliably on extended… Source

As AI agents become more capable and operate over longer horizons, building security and trust into the applications they power becomes increasingly important. Drawing on work with NVIDIA OpenShell, agent developers, open-source projects, and partners across the ecosystem, AI safety and security teams at NVIDIA offer their perspective on the emerging agent stack—including the role of each layer… Source

AI4AI-Bench isolates LLM agent capability to design training algorithms for recursive self-improvement, beyond hyperparameter tuning or data collection.

Study compares task-level vs. subtask-level skill induction in LLM agents; finds subtask-level code skills transfer more reliably across domains.

Proposes Software 3.0 paradigm shift: unified database, large model, and agent architecture as terminal form replacing instruction and data-driven models.

Empirical study of 557 coding agent sessions shows agents consult documentation differently than humans, challenging current technical documentation design.

“Runaway” AI, “rogue” agents, and “autonomous” actors—the current rhetoric would have you believe that AI agents are not only awake and aware, but angry at their creators. Prominent tech leaders such as Demis Hassabis, Dario Amodei, and Sam Altman push for regulation of these seemingly “superhuman” systems, while a separate faction, led by policy organizations…

LLM-based Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) achieve strong performance on complex reasoning tasks by coordinating multiple agents, but at the cost of substantial token consumption. Recent work on automatic topology design, ARG-Designer, has reframed this problem as autoregressive graph generation. However, its training objective provides no explicit incentive for the model to generate sparse and efficient topologies. We address this limitation by introducing a Reward-Guided Autoregressive Graph Generation (RGA-Designer) inspired by Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF). We train a reward ...

Slack is introducing dedicated channels where teams can vibe code together with AI agents instead of jumping between different tools and conversations. The Slack Code launch includes open, project-specific code channels with dedicated user tabs, alongside features that compare coding changes and preview HTML output before the project is shipped. "With Slack Code, when you have an idea or need to build a new feature, update a web page, or fix a bug, you simply tag in a coding agent like Anthropic's Claude or Cognition's Devin, and that agent then spins up a code channel to tackle the task," Sl...

Binance's Agent OS works with tools including ChatGPT, Claude Code, and Cursor.

Simon Willison discusses productivity metrics for AI coding agents, arguing lines of code can meaningfully measure agent output despite conventional skepticism.

NVIDIA Holoscan is a platform for building real-time AI applications at the edge, from medical imaging to robotics. HoloHub is its companion repository: a growing collection of reference applications and components that demonstrate what’s possible. We wanted to explore how a general-purpose coding agent could use the same examples, documentation, and development tools available to an engineer… Source

AI agents are only as effective as the context they receive. Even with capable models and well-documented NVIDIA libraries, agents can spend extra steps finding the right tools, burn tokens on dead ends, or struggle with specialized tasks. Skills package the instructions, examples, and tool guidance for agents to move faster from intent to solution. To measure whether these skills improve agent… Source

Atomistic simulation requires three things: knowledge of the science, compute-efficient implementation of simulations, and accessible interfaces to the simulation stack. The first remains the researcher’s domain, as no tool substitutes for knowing what to simulate or recognizing a physically meaningful result. NVIDIA ALCHEMI Toolkit, introduced earlier this year, has dramatically reduced the… Source
