What we think about

We write about what we learn, how we work, and what we observe.

Why we treat tool output as untrusted input

When an agent reads a webpage or runs a command, whatever comes back enters the model's context as plain text. The model cannot tell instructions from data.

How we made our deploys safe to interrupt
