Goodfire says its new ‘inside-out’ monitors catch rogue AI agents at a fraction of the cost.

AI brief

Goodfire launched a monitoring approach that inspects a model's internals while it runs, rather than using a second AI to review all of an agent's activity, and only escalates when something looks suspicious. The company says this method is cheaper.

Why it matters: It offers a lower-cost way to watch over AI agents by checking inside the model instead of paying a second AI to review everything.
