Reading order for Brocker’s Agent-Facing Infrastructure coverage (living series — still updating):
NVIDIA declared Scale-In the fifth pillar of AI networking infrastructure, powered by BlueField-4 DPUs, DOCA software, and Spectrum-X Ethernet. The architecture offloads security, storage, and telemetry from host CPUs at up to 800 Gb/s to keep pace with agentic AI factories.
Amazon Science released SOP-Bench, an open benchmark with 2,000+ tasks from real business SOPs across twelve domains. The framework pairs authentic procedures with working tools and ground-truth answers so teams can validate agents before production deployment.
After a summer of agent boundary escapes, NVIDIA maps five stack layers and argues security must live in OpenShell-style runtimes—not in harness code models can rewrite.
NVIDIA published Vera CPU benchmarks showing up to 3.67x faster CRC32C integrity checks and 3.26x faster Reed-Solomon recovery versus an unnamed x86 CPU. The gains target the storage processing bottleneck that can throttle agentic AI workloads.
