The Agent System Is Becoming the Competitive Edge
from AI & Tech Daily with Jesse Owen Hosted by Jesse Owen
NVIDIA's AVO result on the public ARC-AGI-3 environments shows how memory, supervision and recovery can lift a model over long tasks. Resident expert Maya Chen joins Jesse to explain which local LLM fits an agent harness at 32GB or 16GB. Also: Anthropic takes computer use and agent APIs into general availability, DeepSeek adds experimental vision to V4 Flash, AWS expands GPT-5.6 capacity through cross-Region inference, OWASP publishes a security blueprint for agentic skills, NVIDIA reportedly strikes a major Poolside deal, Oracle issues 943 security patches, and four US states put Meta's youth-engagement design on trial.
