Perhaps the most notable addition is Guardian Agents, a new feature intended to monitor the AI agents a company uses. Guardian Agents is part of Project Perception, a product introduced in June. Project Perception was Microsoft’s answer to powerful hacking models like Anthropic’s Mythos and Fable and OpenAI’s security vulnerability scanning system Daybreak. Project Perception originally launched three classes of agents: a “red team” that acted like hackers

Glow: Better reversible generative models
We introduce Glow, a reversible generative model which uses invertible 1x1 convolutions. It extends previous work on reversible generative models and simplifies the architecture. Our model can generate realistic high resolution images, supports efficient sampling, and discovers features that can be used to manipulate attributes of data. We’re releasing code for the model and an online visualization tool so people can explore and build on these results.
