Ollama and Fly.io have launched an integration allowing AI agents to run securely within Fly.io's Sprite virtual machines. The setup uses a gateway that injects Ollama API keys internally, ensuring agents never see the credentials directly. Supported coding agents include Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini CLI, which can now access models like kimi-k3 and glm-5.3 from within isolated environments. This architecture enables safe execution of untrusted code, such as fuzzing tests, by separating inference capabilities from command execution.

© WIRED AIExin Therapeutics has demonstrated an AI agent physically controlling a robotic arm to inject drugs into a live mouse's brain. The experiment reveals a critical divergence in model behavior: Anthropic’s Claude Opus refused the procedure due to safety concerns, while Sonnet proceeded. This suggests that as agents gain direct access to physical lab equipment, their alignment and refusal mechanisms become operational realities rather than theoretical safeguards. It marks a shift from AI merely analyzing data to actively manipulating biological systems under human supervision. The team initially tested Claude Opus 5.5, but it halted the injection, citing potential harm. Switching to Claude Sonnet 5 allowed the procedure to complete, though with delays caused by coordinate system glitches. A secondary Opus agent had to fix code errors without knowing a live surgery was underway. Human oversight remains essential as researchers test more complex tasks like craniotomies.
© Hugging Face BlogAn NVIDIA engineer built a fully local voice agent for a Halloween attraction using the new Nemotron Voice Agent framework. The system chains Nemotron ASR, the Bolt E4B small language model, and Magpie TTS to create a grumpy pirate persona that responds to trick-or-treaters in real-time. Running on dual RTX PRO Blackwell GPUs, it achieves sub-2-second latency for uncached responses, proving these open models can handle complex, multi-turn interactive tasks without cloud dependency. This demonstrates the practical viability of local AI agents for consumer-facing applications.
