Researchers just caught AI agents inventing answers when their tools quietly break They gave an agent over a thousand requests, like a bank balance or a patient's lab result, and rigged every tool to send back nothing usable When the tool openly returned an error, the agent reported it honestly But when the tool said everything was fine and sent back a blanked-out value, the agent answered as if it had the number, or made up a reason it couldn't share it, almost half the time What makes it worse is that every agent framework prompt they tested had this problem, and none of the nine they checked tells the model what to do when a tool fails Personally, I'm adding one sentence to every agent I run, it has to mark each lookup as OK or FAILED before answering, and in the paper that alone cut dishonest answers from 14% to under 1%

Duke researchers just showed you can break an AI search agent without feeding it a single false fact They slipped true pages into its search results, each one answering a slightly different version of the question Asked which film won Best Picture at the 89th Oscars, the agent read a true page saying La La Land was first named the winner, and answered La La Land instead of Moonlight And the later that page showed up in the search, and the more it looked like a finished answer, the more often the agent took the bait The worst part is that fact-checking can't catch this, every planted page is true, and telling the agent to double-check every condition in the question only partly helped Personally, this is what worries me, we're handing our research to agents that can't tell a true answer from the right one

Exa CEO, Will Bryk: "AI systems really want perfect search. They don't want SEO. They don't want ads" He expects AI searches to pass human searches this year and hit 1,000x within a few years 17 minutes on why search built for people fails the agents that will soon do most of the searching Every weak page an agent reads still eats its token budget So I wrote a guide on screening 50 sources with Jev before your agent writes a word It also shows how to catch the good papers the filter throws out Watch it, then grab the starter and prompts below

Mastra CTO, Abhi Aiyer: "If I had 200 tools and I asked about refunds, the classifier would say this dude's asking about refunds, that's the refund tool domain" 16 minutes of live code wiring Jev into Mastra: workflow branches, guardrails, tool pre-selection, classifier judges His own tests put Jev 3rd out of the tool search options he tried So before a Jev filter decides what your agent reads, count the useful sources it threw away Watch it, then read the guide below to put a Jev screen in front of 50 research sources, with a review queue and a count of the useful papers it archived

Teams still pay a heavy LLM to make calls a panel of humans would answer in 5 seconds LangChain sat down with the team behind Jev for 46 minutes on where those calls belong In the live demo an agent tries to delete a customer, Jev marks the call risky, and the tool never runs A second middleware sends the easy prompt to a fast model and keeps the big one for the hard task Their rule for scoring: describe every level well enough that a 1.5 means the same thing on every document you score And the cutoff stays yours to prove, because the confidence you get back is a statistic over the probability map, not a silver bullet My guide turns that into a research filter: 50 papers, a 0 to 3 relevance rubric, a review queue, and a check on the useful papers it archived Watch the session, then grab the starter and the prompts below

LangChain put Jev inside their own agent loop and showed the three jobs they hand it In the demo an LLM took about 5 seconds to say whether a text contains PII, and Jev answered immediately with 98% So their coding agents can ask Jev how hard a task is and save the powerful model for the hard ones Their auto mode middleware asks Jev whether a tool call is risky and blocks it at runtime, a check she had switched off because it used to be too slow And the same model grades an agent's answer against a rubric in online evals: correct, matches the reference, grounded, cites a source My guide points that setup at research sources, with a 0 to 3 relevance rubric over 50 papers and a review queue for the low-confidence calls It also checks which useful papers the filter quietly archived Watch the session, then grab the starter and the prompts below

Your research agent can miss the best paper before it writes a word Joe Maddalone explains where he'd put Jev in his workflow: score incoming ideas before passing them to an LLM for development Before trusting that approach for research, check how many useful papers the filter rejects Watch this 62-second clip, then save the guide below for the Python workflow to screen 50 papers and send uncertain cases to manual review

Steve Sewell, builder of Agent-Native: "Jev only makes decisions." In this 10-minute breakdown, he explains how selecting tools and skills for each prompt keeps irrelevant instructions out of your agent's context. Watch it, then use the guide below to build a Jev router that sends uncertain decisions for review.

@madiweb3 @Valerie_Onchain it's been interesting to read. Thanks for making it real

OpenClaw creator and OpenAI engineer, Peter Steinberger: "The agent runs the inner execution loop. I set the direction and I make decisions in the outer loop" When someone files an issue on his open source project, a manager agent checks it against the project's goals, a worker writes the change and runs the tests, and a second agent reviews it He skips the intermediate messages, reviews the PR once, approves, and the change lands after the checks pass 6 minutes on how he went from juggling 10 terminals to managing a manager agent Watch it, then copy the loop prompt from the guide below: success gate, blocked actions, stop rules, run log

vibe coding is fast enough that you can finish the app and still be stuck making the video explaining it. that’s where i’d use @videoclaw, which is publicly launching its desktop video creation agent. i’d start with posts i’ve already researched and written. there’s plenty there to turn into videos. it puts an AI editor, video generator and avatar maker in one chat-driven app. AI automates complex production tasks, and you make precise edits through simple requests. i’d much rather ask it to shorten an intro than spend my afternoon figuring out how. that back-and-forth is what makes creating video feel like vibe coding. we’ve seen this with acrylic paints, Photoshop, Canva and AI image generation. lower the barrier and more people try making something themselves. Videoclaw brings that to video for founders, developers, marketers and the rest of us who have something to share. you can speak video even without the time, skills or team to handle production yourself. content engineer might become a perfectly normal job title for the next generation of creators. download the Mac app at videoclaw.com, connect your ChatGPT or Claude, and start prompting. more platforms are coming soon. the public beta is free to use, with $10 in AI generation credits included. the first 300 people get $50 in credits.

After co-inventing ChatGPT, I kept asking myself: why have superhuman chat models not led to AGI? I’ve spent the last 2 years in stealth building a new way to train models (RLCD), and a new type of frontier AI model that we are releasing today: Jev • 20-200x faster • 40-400x cheaper (w/ output tokens free) • Frontier composable intelligence optimized for decisions AFAICT the shortest path to AI-based economic revolution

A teenager learns to drive in a few dozen hours That works because they've spent their whole life watching things fall and crash into each other Many robots start with none of that and learn each task from thousands of repeated demos, which the Odyssey team calls brute force Odyssey-3 from @odysseyml learns more like the teenager It's a world model trained on a massive amount of visual data from the real world, so it learns cause and effect and how people behave first Then a few hours of data from a specific machine is enough to teach it the controls In the preview, one model powers a humanoid, controls robot arms, drives a car, flies a drone, plays video games and trains other AIs They call it a physics agent, and it goes public in the coming weeks If the approach holds up, the payoff goes way past demos Machines could take over jobs that put people at risk and help with the everyday tasks that get hard with age or disability I'll be watching how it does once people outside the team get their hands on it

Today we’re unveiling Odyssey-3, a big step forward for foundation world models. It can control robots, power humanoids, drive cars (on the roads of India!), train AIs, pilot drones, and even play video games. We can’t wait to see what intelligent systems it enables.
