Meta AI Open-Sources LlamaFirewall: A Security Guardrail Tool to Help Build Secure AI Agents

TL;DR: Meta AI has released LlamaFirewall, an open-source security framework designed to safeguard AI agents against prompt injection, goal misalignment, and insecure code generation. It integrates three key components: PromptGuard 2 for detecting jailbreak inputs, AlignmentCheck for auditing an agent’s chain-of-thought, and CodeShield for static analysis of generated code. Evaluated on the AgentDojo benchmark, LlamaFirewall achieved over 90% reduction in attack success rates with minimal utility loss. Its modular, extensible design enables developers to define custom policies and detectors, marking a significant step forward in securing autonomous AI systems....

ServiceNow AI Released Apriel-Nemotron-15b-Thinker: A Compact Yet Powerful Reasoning Model Optimized for Enterprise-Scale Deployment and Efficiency

ServiceNow introduced Apriel-Nemotron-15b-Thinker. This model consists of 15 billion parameters, a relatively modest size compared to its high-performing counterparts, yet it demonstrates performance on par with models almost twice its size. The primary advantage lies in its memory footprint and token efficiency. While delivering competitive results, it requires nearly half the memory of QWQ‑32b and EXAONE‑Deep‑32b. This directly contributes to improved operational efficiency in enterprise environments, making it feasible to integrate high-performance reasoning models into real-world applications without large-scale infrastructure upgrades.
