Introducing Ghost: The First Database Built for AI Agents

Ghost, a new Postgres database platform developed for AI agents, allows for easy creation, forking, inspection, querying, manipulation, and deletion of databases. Described as 'agent-first,' Ghost operates on a cloud infrastructure, making it ideal for testing, prototyping, and disposable database environments, contrasting with traditional managed databases that are typically designed for long-term use. The platform enhances AI tools like Codex and Claude Code by providing direct database management capabilities through its built-in MCP server. The article also details how to install Ghost and use it effectively with AI coding agents, including specific command-line instructions for different operating systems.

Introducing Claw-Eval-Live: A Benchmark for Evaluating Workflow Agents in Real-Time

Researchers have introduced Claw-Eval-Live, a live benchmark designed to assess LLM agents' capabilities in managing evolving workflows across various software and business services. Unlike traditional benchmarks that rely on fixed tasks, Claw-Eval-Live incorporates a refreshable signal layer that updates based on public workflow demand. The benchmark includes 105 controlled tasks and evaluates 13 advanced models, revealing that the top-performing model only completes 66.7% of tasks. Challenges persist in HR, management, and multi-system workflows, indicating that reliable workflow automation is still a significant hurdle for current models. The study emphasizes the need for dual grounding in external demands and verifiable agent actions for effective evaluation.

Advancing Neuro-symbolic Causal Rule Synthesis and Verification for Safety-critical AI Systems

This paper addresses the limitations of rule-based systems in safety-critical domains by extending a neuro-symbolic causal framework that integrates first-order logic and deep reinforcement learning. The authors introduce a meta-level layer to enhance scalability and mitigate goal misspecification through a Goal/Rule Synthesizer and a Rule Verification Engine. The synthesis process utilizes large language models to decompose goals, consolidate semantics, and translate them into formal rules. The verification process checks for syntax, logical consistency, and safety before integrating the rules into a knowledge base. Evaluation in autonomous driving scenarios demonstrates the framework's ability to derive minimal rule sets based on human-specified goals, supporting a traceable synthesis grounded in legal and safety principles.
