    Answer: Block it.

    Least agency

    Cohere says a Qwen3.8 agent tried an upload to an outside cloud bucket and only its no-route sandbox stopped it. Cohere says that on a CI runner with normal network access the request would have got out.

    Answer: Needs a human.

    Human sign-off on physical actions

    RoboArchitect's authors report large gains on held-out scenes and tasks, but it is a preprint. A person should review changed control logic before real hardware runs it.

    From the Drop: Preprint: coding model's harness edits lift frozen robot policies from 9.7% to 43.3%

  4. Card 4 of 6Agents

    You want to train a web agent on rebuilt copies of sites your company is authorized to capture, before it ever touches the live sites.

    Answer: Ship it.

    Test before live traffic

    WebAnything's authors report rebuilding 244 sites from real URLs after setup and authorization, and that training on them raised a 9B model's WebArena-Verified success by 13.33 points.

    From the Drop: Preprint: WebAnything turns 244 real websites into resettable agent training sites

  5. Card 5 of 6Laws

    Marketing wants to tell customers your product already meets the federal definition of Super Intelligence.

    You're the one who signs off. What's the call?

    From the Drop: EO 14434: proposed legal definition of Super Intelligence is due Nov 28

    Answer: Needs a human.

    Least privilege

    Mika describes itself as an on-device agent that operates apps and the web. It was created Oct 29 and gained 595 stars since our last check. Fast growth is not a review; someone should check its permissions first.

    From the Drop: Mika runs an on-device Android agent that operates apps and the web; 4169 stars
