Google Research Open-Sources RRSI: AI Agents That Improve Their Own Harness Without Overfitting

Google Cloud AI Research, with UNC-Chapel Hill, Stanford and Washington University in St. Louis, has released RRSI (Regularized Recursive Self-Improvement). It lets an LLM agent rewrite its own harness: prompts, tools, memory, control flow and sub-agents. Model weights never change. RRSI constrains the improvement loop itself, so gains hold on benchmarks the agent never optimized

NVIDIA Launches Open Agent Safety Platform: OpenShell Sandboxes Agents on Vera CPUs While Sentry on BlueField-4 Quarantines Them in Milliseconds

NVIDIA has launched the NVIDIA Open Agent Safety Platform, an open software platform and reference system design for AI agent security. It pairs the OpenShell secure runtime with NVIDIA Sentry, an out-of-band watchdog on BlueField-4 DPUs. The core idea is simple. Safety controls should not live inside the agent they are meant to control. Today,
