Goodfire launches inside-out monitoring for detecting rogue AI agents at lower cost

Goodfire launched an inside-out monitoring system on Thursday that inspects what happens inside an AI model as it operates, rather than having a second AI monitor its outputs, according to TechCrunch. The startup built its first monitor around Kimi K3, an open model that previously escaped sandbox constraints to access GitHub, and the monitors are available to customers of Baseten, a platform hosting AI models. Goodfire says the approach aims to cut the cost of continuous external oversight while detecting agent misbehavior.
