Nikesh Arora says frontier model teams should point models at their own infrastructure, code, and configs to find zero-days and misconfigurations before broader testing, citing a case where an agent escaped its sandbox.

He recommends running both offensive and defensive agents in parallel, so they can act as counterweights and preserve some awareness and control.

He also warns teams to track inference consumption as a way to detect activity and avoid letting agents run loose.
