16 governance tools for securing your AI fleetnew

CSO Online reviews 16 AI governance and security tools, including Collibra, Credo AI, F5/CalypsoAI, Fiddler AI, and Guardrails AI, for managing LLM risks.

CSO Online surveys 16 vendors in the emerging AI governance and guardrails market for keeping production LLMs in check. Featured products include Collibra's AI Command Center, Confident Security's OpenPCC, Credo AI's Govern AI Assistant, F5's acquired CalypsoAI, Fiddler AI's control plane, and Guardrails AI's Snowglobe simulator. The tools address hallucination tracking, PII leakage, prompt injection and jailbreak defense, and compliance with frameworks such as the EU AI Act, SOC2, ISO-42001, and GDPR.

rMuscle: Robotic Muscle Memory for Efficient Vision-Language-Action Model Inference

rMuscle, a caching-based inference framework for vision-language-action models, achieves 1.29-1.42x speedups on RTX 4090 and Jetson Thor while preserving success rates.

rMuscle is a real-time inference framework for Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models that exploits cross-execution similarity in repetitive robot tasks via a dual-phase muscle-memory cache. The Context Cache reuses visual-token outputs to reduce computation, while the Action Cache reuses neuron activation patterns to reduce weight accesses, with online recomputation and sliding-window retrieval keeping overhead low. It achieves 1.29-1.42x speedups on RTX 4090 and Jetson Thor across LIBERO, RoboTwin, and real-world manipulation tasks while maintaining original success rates.

AWS Introduces Pizza Bot: An Open Source Inbox for Background AI Agents

AWS open-sourced Pizza Bot, a self-hosted inbox app for background AI agents with approval gating and multi-provider model support.

AWS released Pizza Bot under Apache 2.0 after earlier versions served over 2,000 Amazon employees for meeting prep, email drafting, and research. The app provides macOS, Windows, and Linux desktop builds plus browser and terminal clients talking to a Hono API server, with LangGraph/DeepAgents checkpoints preserving thread state and approval pauses. It supports Amazon Bedrock, Anthropic, Google Gemini, OpenAI, OpenRouter, and Ollama, exposes external tools via MCP servers, and lets skill authors gate actions behind approve/edit/reject flows.

OpenAI Agents API

OpenAI's Agents API documentation describes a managed Codex harness offering sandboxed agents, MCP connectivity, subagents, and US-only data residency.

The Agents API lets applications run durable agent sessions while OpenAI manages orchestration, context compaction, and recovery on the Codex harness. Agents can execute code, edit files, and connect to MCP servers in OpenAI-hosted or self-hosted sandboxes. Example applications include an incident response agent, Slack bot, data analyst, and GitHub issue investigator. Billing follows model, tool, and container rates; the examples use model gpt-6-astra.

PACE: Perceived-Latency-Aware Cascading Service Routing and Filler Control for QoE-Efficient Retrieval-Augmented Dialogue Serving

PACE cuts perceived latency in retrieval-augmented dialogue serving via cascading routing and filler control, reaching 0.41s P95 under load.

PACE is a serving framework for retrieval-augmented dialogue that optimizes Perceived Time-to-First-Response (PTFR) under quality and cost constraints. It combines a load-adaptive cascading router, a joint path-filler controller, and volatility-aware cache admission, deployed on a humanoid-robot sales service. On 75k CarQA requests, the cascade halved pure-LLM P95 PTFR (0.29s vs 0.53s) and the adaptive controller reached 0.41s P95, 2.4x better than RAG at high load; filler calls dropped 94% and stale answers fell from 86% to 0%.

numbat - AI agent observability, (Fri, Sep 4th)

SANS reviews Perplexity's open source numbat, a Go-based tool giving security teams observability, detection rules, and enforcement for AI agents like Claude and Gemini.

Numbat, Perplexity AI's open source observability tool, monitors desktop, CLI, IDE, and gateway AI agents through local hooks, OTLP/HTTP logs, and on-disk session artifacts. It ships detection rules mapped to MITRE ATT&CK (e.g., recon.network_sweep / T1046), supports enforcement mode, and packages investigations with SHA256-verified manifests and timelines. The SANS review positions it as a response to unmanaged AI agent and MCP server sprawl highlighted by the OpenAI/Hugging Face incident.

Introducing agentic video understanding with Gemini

Google DeepMind launches agentic video understanding for Gemini 3.7 Flash, 3.6 Flash, and 3.5 Flash-Lite, cutting video-analysis tokens up to 88%.

Google DeepMind launched agentic video understanding across Gemini 3.7 Flash, 3.6 Flash, and 3.5 Flash-Lite via the Gemini API in Google AI Studio and the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform. The feature replaces static fixed-FPS ingestion with an agentic loop that dynamically searches frames, audio, and transcripts, cutting token consumption by up to 88%, reducing costs by up to 66%, and improving accuracy by up to 7%. Gemini 3.7 Flash with the feature sits at the accuracy-to-cost Pareto frontier on tested video benchmarks, and the capability will later power YouTube's Ask YouTube feature.

The /wayfinder Skill: Navigating the “Fog of War” of Planning

Matt Pocock released the /wayfinder skill, an orchestrator layer that manages planning sessions, maps, and tickets for AFK coding agents.

Latent Space interviews Matt Pocock, whose AI Skills for Real Engineers project has 220,000+ GitHub stars, about his new /wayfinder skill. The skill manages agent context during ambiguous planning by splitting work into grilling, prototype, research, and task tickets organized under a shared map, enabling overnight AFK agent runs. It uses deliberate terminology like map, ticket, and session to steer agent behavior, and was tested on projects including a personal website rearchitecture.
