NVIDIA Introduces SoL-Pi: Auto-Research Loops That Cut Coding Agent Token Traffic by Up to 49%
Coding agents now run for hours, not minutes. Every edit, test run and log read goes back into the model’s context. A team of researchers from NVIDIA, NTU and MIT have released SoL-Pi, a set of 4 efficiency mechanisms for the open-source Pi coding agent. An AI found these mechanisms by running auto-research loops at the harness layer. On the 51-task EdgeBench evaluation, SoL-Pi cuts recorded token traffic by 44.7% to 49.0% versus Pi and cuts API cost by roughly 33%. Its scores stay close
A team of researchers released efficiency mechanisms for an open-source coding agent that reduce the number of tokens, or computational units, required to complete coding tasks. The mechanisms were discovered through automated search loops that tested hundreds of proposed changes across thousands of task executions. These four surviving mechanisms cut token traffic by roughly 45 to 49 percent and reduce API costs by about 33 percent while maintaining approximately 94 percent of the original agent's performance. The improvements matter because coding agents that run for hours consume significant computational resources, and reducing this consumption lowers both cost and environmental impact while maintaining capability.

Agents that build their own databases are forcing a data foundation rethink
AI agents are changing how enterprises create, move and govern information, and data observability is turning into a prerequisite rather than a nice-to-have. Models get most of the attention, but the data beneath them decides whether they hold up in production. That pressure is now reaching the cloud-native community, where KubeCon organizers added a dedicated […] The post Agents that build their own databases are forcing a data foundation rethink appeared first on SiliconANGLE.
Hands-on with Ring’s new AI drone camera for your home
Ring’s new Drone Cam is a flying indoor security camera. Ring is finally shipping a flying indoor drone camera. For real this time. The Ring Drone Cam will arrive on January 27th, 2027, for $249.99, Ring founder Jamie Siminoff said at a launch event in New York City this week. If it does actually ship, it will arrive almost six years after the company announced its first flying camera, the Ring Always Home Cam. Designed to patrol inside your home when you're not there, the Drone

AI agents carry memory and storage like people, so their data needs guarding while in use
As AI agents move into production on Kubernetes, cloud engineering teams at financial companies face a security problem that encryption alone can’t solve. Container orchestration has become the default foundation for AI workloads, and the data those agents use is now the main target. Payment networks feel that pressure more than most because every transaction […] The post AI agents carry memory and storage like people, so their data needs guarding while in use appeared first on Silic
Serve Robotics opens robot delivery network for others to build on
The AV Delivery Developer Portal enables anyone to call robots from Serve’s delivery fleet. Source: Serve Robotics Serve Robotics Inc. today launched the AV Delivery Developer Portal, which it said gives developers, businesses, hobbyists, and AI assistants the opportunity to programmatically summon its sidewalk delivery robots. The company said its public application programming interface, or API, allows others to work with its autonomous robot fleet. It also released a sandbox environment
