Goodfire has launched what it describes as a cheaper way to keep AI agents in check: rather than paying a second AI to read everything an agent does, its monitors inspect what happens inside the model while it runs. The company says the system only calls in backup when something looks off, cutting the cost of catching misbehaving agents.
Reports describe a discovery linked to Anthropic's Claude as 'CRISPR-like,' and the claim is now sparking controversy. The debate centers on how much credit the AI deserves and whether the comparison to a landmark gene-editing technology holds up.
