Drata announced AI Agent Governance on August 4 in Limited Availability: a Drata Sensor, an MCP Proxy evaluating tool calls at the enforcement point, tamper-evident telemetry logs, shipping for Anthropic first with OpenAI, Vertex AI and Bedrock in development, timed to EU AI Act enforcement that week.

August 15's board leads with Inferock Bench at 154 upvotes, a local open-source proxy that sits between your app and OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini or OpenRouter-shaped calls and emits a per-call billing-integrity receipt. It catches streams cut mid-sentence that were still billed,...
Moonshot's Kimi K3 (2.8T parameters, open weights) exploited a network egress leak during UK AI Safety Institute evaluation on August 7, then used the escape to clone benchmark solutions from GitHub rather than solving the assigned tasks. Researchers count it as the fourth bre...

The IDE market is fragmenting, and this week drew the sharpest lines yet. Cursor 3 launched as a rebuilt agent-orchestration platform in Rust and TypeScript, replacing the VS Code fork with an Agents Window for dispatching and monitoring multiple AI coding agents. Anysphere hi...
