DeepAgents runs in a four-file Docker Sandbox kit whose agent can reach only a local Model Runner on port 12434, with no cloud keys. The egress policy is careful work, and exact reproduction still rests on what PyPI serves when each sandbox is created.

AI-related job postings at banks such as JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup and Capital One rose 49% this year to 139,819, according to Draup. Most of the growth is in staff who connect teams of AI agents to business lines and staff who keep those agents in check.

Strands and CrewAI agents exited 0 on all six runs where a broken verification tool checked nothing, a recorded-proxy test on dev.to found. Only tool-call traffic captured outside the framework showed the failures.

Debashish Ghosal got HivePlane's agent certification to repeat across three runs by swapping in deterministic agents and a mocked judge. The stable verdict covers the control plane's plumbing, and whether an LLM-driven agent answers correctly is now outside the certificate.

Google open-sourced AX, an Apache 2.0 runtime on Kubernetes that checkpoints idle agents and is designed to resume them in under a second. Its savings depend on how long each agent waits on models, tools or people.

Retry math in a dev.to post on agent circuit breakers has a failing agent's calls growing from 2,000 tokens to 20,000 by attempt 50. Summed, that spend rises with the square of the attempts, so the cap belongs in the orchestrator.

Only a renamed tool argument got through Strands, LangGraph and CrewAI cleanly in a 36-run schema-change test posted on dev.to. Harsher changes let Strands and CrewAI exit 0 with nothing verified while LangGraph crashed outright, so each framework needs its own schema-change test.

Fraudagent, a TigerGraph challenge entry, settles 20 fraud alerts in code whose build fails on any LLM import. Its verdicts match bit for bit with no API key, so the calibration bug its authors blame for clearing fraud lives in code a test can reach.

Across 34 runs on three agent frameworks, a recorder proxy shows that what the dedup key names decides whether a retried publish executes once or twice, and that surviving a SIGKILL is a separate question about where state is kept.

Fluid compute caps Hobby functions at five minutes and Pro at 800 seconds, so an agent working a long task list needs a queue or a different host. The cheap VPS escape hatches have repriced too.
