Goodfire says its new ‘inside-out’ monitors catch rogue AI agents at a fraction of the cost
Publisher description: Goodfire just launched what it says is a cheaper way to keep AI agents in check: instead of paying a second AI to read everything an agent does, its monitors peek inside the model while it works and only call in backup when something looks fishy.

Automated excerpt
Goodfire, a startup focused on interpretability (figuring out how AI models work internally), launched a cheaper option on Thursday: monitors that watch what’s happening inside an AI model as it works, rather than just reading what it writes. The monitors are available to customers of Baseten, which hosts and runs AI models for other companies. Most AI monitors are separate models that have to reread everything the monitored model does, which adds time and cost.
