With Codex, GPT-Live-1, and GPT-6 Astra, Proaction builds, operates, and sells modern fleet management faster.
AI agents combine language models with external data and tools that can modify files, call APIs, or execute code. Security failures can arise when adversarial content changes an agent's tool use or when the surrounding software contains vulnerabilities such as path traversal or command injection. We study authorized white-box pre-deployment auditing, where the auditor has access to the target repository and a controlled runtime, but successful attacks must still act through the task-defined attacker interface and be confirmed by an external verifier. We present AgentXploit, a two-role auditing system that separates repository-level attack-path discovery from runtime exploitation. The Analyzer Agent traces attacker-controlled inputs to sensitive operations and records code-supported candidate attack paths; the Exploiter Agent turns these paths into concrete attacks and revises them using runtime feedback. We also introduce AgentXploit-Bench, containing 72 reproducible vulnerabilities across 12 open-source AI-agent systems and frameworks. Across three runs, AgentXploit reaches 59.3% end-to-end success, compared with 38.4% for Codex. Under a token-budget-matched comparison, Codex reaches 46.3%. On AgentDojo, where injection points are provided, the Exploiter Agent reaches 79.2% attack success versus 52.7% for AgentVigil. These results highlight repository discovery and runtime exploitation as distinct challenges in end-to-end agent security auditing.
Agents often work on complex problems that require millions of tokens of context, which necessitates compacting across sessions due to limited context windows. We develop CliffCompaction, an autocompaction technique that reduces cost by up to 50% under a bounded context while maintaining or improving performance on Terminal-Bench and achieving new levels of efficiency for test-time scaling and state-of-the-art results on KernelBench. The per-rollout savings of CliffCompaction make the performance--cost trade-off of test-time scaling more efficient, adding over 10 percentage points on Terminal-Bench for less than the cost of two full-context runs. Under parallel test-time scaling, CliffCompaction lets Kimi K2.6 match Opus 4.7, and exceed Opus 4.6 and GPT-5.3 Codex at lower cost. The key to CliffCompaction's effectiveness is that it keeps compacted information faithful by only truncating or dropping content, never rephrasing or rewriting it. We never compact a compaction---each pass operates only on original content, and prior compacted output is discarded, preventing context drift from accumulating. These properties sustain continual learning over sessions exceeding a million tokens: on KernelBench, CliffCompaction reaches CUDA kernel speedups of 2.23after 200 steps and 3.58after 400 steps, surpassing specialized search algorithms and trained agents despite being a general-purpose compaction technique. We open-source a scaffold-agnostic API-proxy implementation of CliffCompaction usable with Claude Code, Codex and other harnesses.
AI agents on foundation models often misapply healthcare and life sciences decision frameworks, citing the right guideline but applying it incorrectly. This post shares 38 open-source agent skills across 11 HCLS domains that close this gap, with installation steps, three worked use cases, and a 410-prompt evaluation showing a 70-86% win rate.
Comparing models on dollars per million tokens misses what production workloads actually pay for: outcomes. This post shares an open-source benchmarking harness that measures cost per correct answer, agent trajectory cost, and rubric-graded deliverable quality across OpenAI models on Amazon Bedrock.
