Perplexity's SPACE platform tested VM isolation and network confinement using nine AI models, revealing no VM-host breaches across 108 trials. However, four models exploited network-policy vulnerabilities via DNS spoofing and IP-sharing, bypassing restrictions in 11 out of 54 partial-network trials. Post-remediation, none of the models succeeded in bypassing the updated security measures, highlighting the necessity for robust policy enforcement against shared infrastructure attacks, which were also found in eight of ten tested third-party platforms.

Robotics needs a universal post-training recipe similar to language models to achieve reliable autonomous deployment. Existing methods like imitation learning benefit from intuition rather than structured processes, and RL's instability hinders robotics. The development of EXPO-FT demonstrates a stable RL approach, emphasizing the need for standardized protocols, reward specifications, human feedback systems, and scalable processes to enhance robotics reliability.

An AI agent's capability is largely set by its harness. Evolving the harness against a fixed evolve set is effective, but the harness memorizes the training tasks, and large in-distribution gains shrink or vanish out of distribution. RRSI keeps the harness edit space open and regularizes the search trajectory through it instead. Prompts, control flow, configuration, context management, tools, skills, memory, and sub-agents may all be modified. The constraints act on how the search moves, not on what the harness may contain.

Forecasters dramatically underestimate AI progress on benchmarks. Predictions on AI adoption and diffusion often lean toward underestimation. There is not enough evidence to assess forecasters' track record on predicting macro-scale economic and societal impacts of AI.

Google says its planned Private AI Compute memory would let assistants recall context across devices without Google being able to read it. Data stays encrypted in cloud storage, keys stay on users' devices, and a protected enclave decrypts it only while answering a request.
