Software factories are popping all-over. Todayโs problem is securing them. Our reference architecture sets four boundaries (sandbox, network, supply chain, identity and access) enforced outside the agent. With @ianlivingstone@vtahowe@AhmadNassri@williammanning
Agents are building software. Who's securing the factory?
Agent Baseline participants publish a reference architecture for securing agentic software factories, with controls enforced by the environment, not the agent.

The capabilities that make an agent useful are the same ones that dissolve the walls around it. The boundary has to be deterministic.
Applying this to software factories. Show & tell Oct 13 NYC with @irlivingstone @AhmadNassri@dickhardt @zacharydhamilton moderated by @vtahowe ๐

Constrain is 1 of 6 Agent Baseline outcomes, and Eli's applying it to something bigger. Out soon ๐
36h trip to Amsterdam for AGNTCon . Double red-eye. Just practice for @HackTheNorth.
If I'm judging a 36-hour hackathon where everyone's pulling all-nighters, only fair I show up having done my own ๐คฃ
Come find me โ I'll be the one with the extra large coffee.
Astra launch is genius positioning. Model is clearly an advance in coding,etc.. but the marketing, demos and public videos showcase computer-use.. (while never mentioning it by name)
Agents are making the news for escaping sandboxes so we asked @ealeyner, VP Product Strategy at @Docker, what it takes to contain an agent.
His answer, in summary, is it requires defense in depth. Worth a listen if you're looking to put your agent in a box and keep it there.

@vtahowe & @ianlivingstone (@KeycardAI) @ealeyner (Docker), and Ezra Tanzer (@snyksec) on agent identity, delegation patterns and what real governance looks like when agents are delegating work to other agents:

Big day for Ollama! When we started, open models and the open source AI ecosystem were in their early days with few believers.
Our belief in open source has never wavered.
With today's fundraising announcement and our 9M+ active builders, weโre ready to scale open models into AI that you can own.
All aboard open models!
