Summary
A concise catch-up on the day in AI: a new enterprise security startup bets companies will need to manage AI agents like employees, Anthropic’s clash with the U.S. government over model restrictions keeps widening, and a fresh research paper argues we should judge coding agents by how they work, not just whether they finish.
