AI Agent Adventures
My coding agent hit a cold-start 503, found a Gemini key in my repo, and burned $40 while I slept
So I was building a coding agent from scratch for a course I'm teaching. It was around 10 p.m., and I was exhausted. I decided to ask the agent to implement an evaluation harness with, say, about 20 benchmark tests. Bot…

What's the biggest headache when giving your agent browser control?
For me it's always been the problem of layouts being changed suddenly by sites, breaking everything thereafter. I would use hard coded selectors and it would take me much more time to maintain than to build the automati…

Coding Agents with an Obstacle-Aware Harness for Safe Robot Manipulation
Coding agents have emerged as a promising paradigm for robot manipulation: a language model writes the robot controller as a program, and agents built in this way now operate robots without robot-specific training.Wheth…

Quantifying Overclaiming Propensity in Frontier LLM Agents
Frontier coding agents are increasingly trusted to work autonomously for long periods, yet an agent's final response is often the only account of that work a user sees. We quantify the propensity of frontier agents to \…
