### AI overview

The GitHub Copilot agent runtime was rewritten from TypeScript on Node.js and V8 into more than 800,000 lines of production Rust. AI agents wrote most of the code across 128 pull requests, and the runtime was shipped incrementally while regressions were fixed and performance improved by orders of magnitude.

### AI overview

Airbnb describes an agent harness for data science that embeds scientific methodology around an AI model. The system guides agents through framing questions, selecting evidence, and recording decisions so unstructured-data investigations can be reproduced, audited, challenged, and extended across languages, geographies, and LLM-based products.

### Source excerpt

How Airbnb's agent harness transforms unstructured data exploration by encoding scientific methodology into scalable, reproducible, and audit-ready infrastructure. By: Wren Dougherty Ask a coding agent to analyze 100,000 customer support conversations and within minutes you'll have a polished taxonomy, precise prevalence numbers, and an executive-ready summary. What you can't see is the investigation that produced them: the methods it chose, the evidence it weighed, how much to trust it, or whether a second request would agree. All that reaches you is the polish. The model is undeniably intelligent, but intelligence without methodology is not science. LLMs certainly make for confident scientists, but we need them to be responsible ones. Smarter models help, but intelligence has never been the whole of science, in people or in machines. The method is as much the product as the answer. That is the idea behind the agent harness we built for data science: the methodology itself, built as infrastructure around the model. It governs how an AI agent operates, from framing a question to selecting evidence to recording decisions, so results can be reproduced, audited, and challenged, and the method shared, inspected, and built on. The challenge of unstructured data exploration In 2025, Airbnb was preparing to launch an AI customer service assistant. Before it could ship, we needed to understand exactly what kinds of situations it would face in the real world. That included rare events that could be risky for AI to interact with, and involved examining their taxonomy and prevalence to create the datasets that would help us build a more responsible product. The investigative work to do this was rigorous, but the process was deeply artisanal. Months of high-touch iteration went into each investigation, from finding the right data, reviewing samples with experts, and generating representative datasets, and the method was manually curated across notebooks, tables, docs, and indiv

### AI overview

The article argues that AI safety extends beyond model behavior to the application layer, where companies must control agent authority and enforce approvals, policies, and credential limits. It emphasizes that these controls must remain reliable through crashes, timeouts, and retries, and presents Temporal Agent Harness as an execution-layer control point around an agent SDK.

### Source excerpt

Auditing what an agent did is only half the job. Companies also have to control what agents may do, and make those limits hold when systems fail.

### Source excerpt

To prevent context window bloat and reduce token consumption, Genkit Go introduces Agent Skills based on a progressive disclosure architecture. Developers can package specialized instructions, scripts, and references into modular SKILL.md bundles where only the frontmatter metadata is initially exposed to the agent's system prompt. When a task matches the skill's description, Genkit's middleware dynamically loads the full instruction body and associated assets, ensuring the model accesses precise workflows exactly when needed.

### AI overview

Cursor Cloud Agents can run in Vercel Sandbox, using isolated Firecracker microVMs as their execution environment. The architecture combines Cursor's agent harness and inference loop with Vercel Functions and Workflows for durable request handling, worker provisioning, monitoring, retries, cleanup, and short-lived user-scoped credentials.

### Source excerpt

Cursor Cloud Agents can now run in Vercel Sandbox instead of Cursor's hosted machines. Cursor manages the agent harness and inference loop. Its Self-Hosted Machines APIs let you supply the execution environment where agents clone repositories, edit files, and run commands and tests. Self-Hosted Machines requires a Cursor Enterprise plan. Vercel Sandbox provides that execution environment as an isolated Firecracker microVM for each agent request. Vercel Functions and Vercel Workflows form a durable control plane that claims queued agent requests, provisions workers, monitors sessions, and cleans up automatically. With this architecture, you get: A scale-to-zero worker pool without long-lived virtual machines A dedicated, isolated Sandbox for every agent request Durable retries when a worker or session fails Short-lived, user-scoped credentials inside each Sandbox Follow the step-by-step guide to deploy the reference implementation to your own Vercel account, or learn more in the Vercel Sandbox documentation.

### AI overview

This opinion article connects GitHub Copilot team's findings about compressing tool output with everyday AI coding prompts. It argues that optimizing a visible step, such as shortening a response or prompt, can increase total time and cost when missing details force follow-up questions, reruns, or recovery work. It recommends giving coding assistants the full problem and relevant source material, and treating instruction files carefully because rewriting guidance can change agent behavior.

### AI overview

DigitalOcean announces Managed Agents Runtime Services (M.A.R.S.) in private preview, combining Harness Runtime and Action Gateway. The managed service provides cloud infrastructure for persistent, scalable agent sessions and governed access to tools, APIs, and SaaS systems.

### Source excerpt

AI agents are helping developers, teams, and businesses do more: writing and executing code, conducting research, and running dynamic workflows across systems. But that ability is often bounded by where they run. Close the laptop, and the work stops there. You can't pick it up on another device, hand off to a teammate, or scale it across users. Moving agents to cloud VMs solves part of this problem; developers and companies building agent harness frameworks still have to build a high-fidelity experience that can match a local session, including agent friendly execution environments, session persistence, secure tool access, human-in-the-loop approvals, and observability. Now available in Private Preview, DigitalOcean Managed Agents Runtime Services (M.A.R.S.) provides that infrastructure as a fully managed service. It gives developers, teams, and ISVs a powerful yet lightweight environment for operating coding agents and long-running, multi-tool agentic workflows without building and managing the underlying infrastructure themselves. M.A.R.S. brings together two products: Harness Runtime provides the managed execution environment in which agents run, persist, and scale. Action Gateway gives those same agents governed access to the tools, APIs, and SaaS systems they need to complete real-world work. Rather than requiring you to rebuild your agent around a proprietary framework, M.A.R.S. lets you define an environment template that packages your preferred harness, dependencies, tools, and configuration. Designed to work with Claude Code, Codex CLI, and OpenCode, as well as agents built with LangGraph or CrewAI, giving teams the freedom to choose the agent experience that best fits their needs without being locked into a single harness or framework. Agent sessions that outlive your laptop Harness Runtime helps agent sessions run independently of any local machine. They can start in under a second and resume from a pause in as little as 200 milliseconds while preserving

### AI overview

A guide to using Antigravity 2.0 to build closed-loop AI engineering workflows. It presents a state-machine pattern in which an agent writes, runs, and fixes code against a defined objective until the output is verified, while noting that the SDK is pre-v1.0 and its documented interfaces may change.

### Source excerpt

LoopSmith: Closed-Loop AI Engineering -- Autonomous /goal Execution for Self-Correcting Pipelines on Antigravity 2.0Stop prompting the agent turn by turn. Hand it an objective, a bar to clear, and let the state machine write, run, and fix its own code until the output is verified.This guide targets Antigravity 2.0 -- the four-surface release (desktop app, agy CLI, google-antigravity SDK, and enterprise cloud) that shares one agent harness. The SDK is pre-v1.0; symbol names and CLI flags below reflect the documented API as of mid-2026. Treat the patterns as stable and re-check exact signatures against the current docs before you ship.Table of contents The problem with the on-demand agent The architectural shift: closed-loop engineering as a state machine Step 1 -- Initialize the project and the state machine (agy) Step 2 -- Define the objective and trigger /goal execution mode (SDK) Step 3 -- Implement the self-correcting loop Step 4 -- Verification and state finalization Conclusion 1. The problem with the on-demand agent Most "AI engineering" today is still conversational. You prompt; the model answers. You notice the answer is wrong; you prompt again. You paste a traceback; it apologizes and tries once more. The intelligence is real -- but you are the control loop. You are the thing that runs the code, reads the error, decides whether the output is good enough, and feeds the next instruction back in. Take the human out of that seat and the whole system stops. That's fine for a chat window. It falls apart the moment you want an agent to produce a deliverable -- a cleaned dataset, a reconciled financial report, a migration that actually compiles. Real analytical work is iterative and self-referential: you write a script, it crashes on a currency string, you fix the parse, it runs but the totals don't reconcile, you fix the aggregation, and only then is the output trustworthy. Every one of those arrows is a decision. An on-demand agent makes you supply all of them. There are
