Le mur auquel se heurte tout créateur d’agents
Tout ceux qui ont développé une application IA connaissent ce problème. On demande à un modèle de langage d’aider à lancer un site web et il fournit du code bien structuré. Pourtant, rien ne se passe, car le modèle ne peut pas ouvrir un éditeur, enregistrer le fichier ni cliquer sur « Exécuter » pour vérifier son fonctionnement. Toute la charge de travail revient au développeur.
Les outils d’agents existants couvrent effectivement davantage de fonctionnalités, y compris le démarrage de serveurs et l’exécution de tests. Cependant, même en les utilisant soi-même, il faut encore s’occuper de plusieurs tâches :
- fournir un environnement isolé permettant au modèle d’exécuter du code sans effacer vos fichiers
- rédiger le code de liaison qui transfère les données entre les modules
- configurer les outils afin que le modèle puisse les appeler, accéder à vos données ou exécuter un script
D’autres coûts opérationnels en découlent, tous nécessaires pour assurer le bon fonctionnement en toute sécurité. Voici à quoi cela ressemble lorsque un modèle doit écrire et tester un script Python.
from google import genai
import subprocess
client = genai.Client()
# Step 1: Ask the model for code
response = client.models.generate_content(
model="gemini-2.5-flash",
contents="Write a Python script that checks password strength and saves a report."
)
# Step 2: YOU must manually extract the code block from the text response
code = extract_code_from_markdown(response.text) # You wrote this function
# Step 3: YOU must save the file and run it locally
with open("password_checker.py", "w") as f:
f.write(code)
# ⚠️ Danger: Running untrusted AI-generated code on YOUR machine!
result = subprocess.run(["python3", "password_checker.py"], capture_output=True, text=True)
print(result.stdout)
Le développeur doit gérer tout cela : le récupération du code depuis la réponse, les opérations d’entrée/sortie de fichiers, l’exécution locale risquée, ainsi que la boucle d’erreurs qui s’enclenche inévitablement en cas de problème.
Une seule appel API pourrait-elle prendre en charge tout cela ? Le framework Managed Agents de Google et son agent phare Antigravity sont conçus pour cela. Le modèle devient alors un service : au lieu d’un chatbot ne renvoyant que du texte, on dispose d’un ordinateur cloud sécurisé géré par Google, un espace de travail Linux connecté à Internet en temps réel.
Le tableau ci-dessous compare trois niveaux de systèmes d’IA.
La boucle agente principale
Lorsqu’on lui confie une tâche, un agent Antigravity ne se contente pas de deviner. Il fonctionne au sein d’une boucle continue soutenue par du matériel réel.
┌────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ 1. PLAN & REASON │
│ (Analyzes objective & breaks it down) │
└───────────────────┬────────────────────┘
│
▼
┌────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ 2. ACT │
│ (Executes a tool: Bash, Python, Web) │
└───────────────────┬────────────────────┘
│
▼
┌────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ 3. OBSERVE │
│ (Reads execution output, errors, data) │
└───────────────────┬────────────────────┘
│
└─── Loop back until task is complete
Cela dépasse le cadre d’une simple demande et de sa réponse. L’agent rédige un script, l’exécute, constate une SyntaxError dans les résultats du terminal, corrige la faute et tente à nouveau, en répétant le processus jusqu’à ce que la tâche soit terminée.
Le sandbox distant
Chaque fois qu’un agent est invoqué, Google lance un espace de travail dédié.
Le résultat est un véritable ordinateur Linux dans le cloud, dont l’agent dispose pendant toute la durée de sa tâche.
Deux niveaux derrière l’API
Travailler avec des agents gérés implique deux niveaux distincts, tous deux accessibles via l’API Gemini.
┌─────────────────────────────────┐
│ YOUR APP │
└────────┬───────────────┬────────┘
│ │
1. Define/Configure │ │ 2. Run Task
(System rules, ID) │ │ (Send Prompt)
▼ ▼
┌───────────────────────────────────┐ ┌───────────────────────────────────┐
│ THE CONTROL PLANE │ │ THE RUNTIME PLANE │
│ (Agents API) │ │ (Interactions API) │
├───────────────────────────────────┤ ├───────────────────────────────────┤
│ Saves persistent identity, system │ │ Spawns the Ubuntu sandbox, logs │
│ instructions, and data mounts. │ │ live traces, and processes loops. │
└───────────────────────────────────┘ └───────────────────────────────────┘
Le plan de contrôle, c’est-à-dire l’API des agents, est l’endroit où un agent est configuré et enregistré. C’est un peu comme remplir un profil de employé : un nom, des instructions système, des compétences personnalisées ainsi que des dépôts à cloner. Elle renvoie un identifiant d’agent statique.
Le plan de exécution, soit l’API des interactions, est là où le travail a lieu. Une tâche est envoyée à un identifiant d’agent sous forme d’« interaction », et ce plan s’occupe de provisionner le sandbox, d’exécuter des outils, d’enregistrer les traces de raisonnement et de faire fonctionner le cycle d’agent.
Sécurité grâce à un proxy de sortie
Permettre à un agent autonome d’exécuter des scripts non vérifiés est risqué. Google isole l’environnement grâce à une couche de proxy de sortie.
┌─────────────────────────┐
│ REMOTE UBUNTU SANDBOX │
│ (No internal secrets) │
└───────────┬─────────────┘
│ Agent attempts outbound API call

┌─────────────────────────┐
│ EGRESS PROXY LAYER │ ◄── Checks Domain Allowlist
├─────────────────────────┤
│ Intercepts connection, │
│ injects secrets securely│
└───────────┬─────────────┘
│ Safe, Authenticated Request Sent
▼
[ External Target API ]
Cela offre trois garanties :
- Aucun secret à l’intérieur du sandbox. Les clés API et les mots de passe des bases de données ne sont jamais stockés dans l’espace de travail de l’agent.
- Listes blanches de domaines. Vous décidez quels domaines externes l’agent peut atteindre.
- Transformation des en-têtes. Pour les appels vers une API externe, le proxy capture la requête, vérifie le domaine contre la liste blanche et ajoute lui-même le jeton d’authentification. Les données reviennent à l’agent tandis que la clé privée reste cachée pour lui.
Un premier agent en environ cinq minutes
Exigences
- Python 3.10 ou ultérieur, la version 3.12 étant recommandée car elle correspond au runtime du sandbox
- google-genai SDK à la version 2.0.0 ou supérieure (la version 2.8.0 était en vigueur au moment de la rédaction)
Créez un environnement virtuel et installez le SDK.
python3 -m venv managed-agents-env
source managed-agents-env/bin/activate # On Windows: managed-agents-env\Scripts\activate
# Install (or upgrade) the Google GenAI SDK
pip install -U google-genai
# Verify the version — must be 1.14.0 or later
python3 -c "import google.genai; print(google.genai.__version__)"
# Set your API key (get one at https://aistudio.google.com/apikey)
export GEMINI_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"
Si vous préférez éviter la configuration locale, Google AI Studio dispose d’une section de modèles « Managed Agents » qui fonctionne comme un environnement interactif dans le navigateur.
Exécution des exemples
Chaque exemple ici est un script Python complet et autonome. Enregistrez-le dans un fichier, puis exécutez-le.
# 1. Save the code to a file (an example name used here is hello_agent.py
vim hello_agent.py # or use any editor
# 2. Run it
python3 hello_agent.py
Chaque interaction dure entre une demi-minute et trois minutes, en fonction de la tâche, car l’agent doit initialiser un environnement isolé, écrire et exécuter du code, lire les erreurs et itérer. Les tâches simples sont terminées en moins d’une minute, tandis que les séquences complexes à plusieurs étapes peuvent nécessiter de deux à trois minutes par étape.
Bonjour, Agents gérés
Comparez le code peu efficace à plusieurs étapes présenté précédemment avec son équivalent utilisant des Agents gérés.
from google import genai
client = genai.Client()
# One API call. One autonomous agent. One remote Linux sandbox.
interaction = client.interactions.create(
agent="antigravity-preview-05-2026",
input="Write a Python script that generates 100 random exam scores between 0 and 100, "
"calculates the mean, median, and standard deviation, prints a summary, "
"and saves a grade distribution histogram as grade_report.png using matplotlib.",
environment="remote" # This provisions a secure Linux sandbox hosted by Google
)
print(interaction.output_text)
Exécutez-le.
python3 hello_agent.py
La première interaction a produit le résultat suivant. Les chiffres varient d’une exécution à l’autre car les données sont aléatoires.
I have successfully written and executed a Python script that generates 100 random exam scores, computes their key statistics, and plots a grade distribution histogram.
### 1. Generated Python Script (`generate_report.py`)
Here is the Python script, which is saved in the environment as `generate_report.py`. It uses `numpy` for data generation, `statistics` conventions for calculation (such as sample standard deviation), and `matplotlib` to generate a high-quality visualization.
```python
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import statistics
def generate_and_analyze_grades():
# Set a random seed for reproducibility
np.random.seed(42)
# Generate 100 random exam scores between 0 and 100 (inclusive)
scores = np.random.randint(0, 101, size=100)
# Calculate statistics using Python's standard statistics module and NumPy
# (Using ddof=1 for sample standard deviation, which is standard for student grade samples)
mean_val = np.mean(scores)
median_val = np.median(scores)
std_val = np.std(scores, ddof=1)
# Print summary to console
print("=========================================")
print(" EXAM GRADE REPORT SUMMARY ")
print("=========================================")
print(f"Number of Students : {len(scores)}")
print(f"Minimum Score : {np.min(scores)}")
print(f"Maximum Score : {np.max(scores)}")
print(f"Mean Score : {mean_val:.2f}")
print(f"Median Score : {median_val:.2f}")
print(f"Standard Deviation : {std_val:.2f}")
print("=========================================")
# Create the histogram plot
plt.figure(figsize=(10, 6))
# Customize the grid and style
plt.grid(axis='y', linestyle='--', alpha=0.7, zorder=0)
# Draw the histogram with bins of size 10 (0-10, 10-20, ..., 90-100)
bins = range(0, 111, 10)
plt.hist(scores, bins=bins, color='#4A90E2', edgecolor='black', rwidth=0.85, zorder=3)
# Add labels and title
plt.title('Distribution of Exam Scores', fontsize=16, fontweight='bold', pad=15)
plt.xlabel('Exam Scores', fontsize=12, labelpad=10)
plt.ylabel('Number of Students', fontsize=12, labelpad=10)
# Mark Mean and Median with vertical lines
plt.axvline(mean_val, color='#D0021B', linestyle='dashed', linewidth=2, zorder=4, label=f'Mean: {mean_val:.2f}')
plt.axvline(median_val, color='#F5A623', linestyle='dotted', linewidth=2, zorder=4, label=f'Median: {median_val:.2f}')
# Set x-ticks to align with bins
plt.xticks(range(0, 101, 10))
# Add a legend
plt.legend(fontsize=11, loc='upper left')
# Add details text box on the plot
textstr = '\n'.join((
f'Total Students: {len(scores)}',
f'Mean: {mean_val:.2f}',
f'Median: {median_val:.2f}',
f'Std Dev: {std_val:.2f}'
))
props = dict(boxstyle='round', facecolor='wheat', alpha=0.5)
plt.gca().text(0.05, 0.75, textstr, transform=plt.gca().transAxes, fontsize=10,
verticalalignment='top', bbox=props)
# Adjust layout and save the figure
plt.tight_layout()
output_filename = 'grade_report.png'
plt.savefig(output_filename, dpi=300)
print(f"\nHistogram successfully saved to '{output_filename}'")
if __name__ == '__main__':
generate_and_analyze_grades()
```
---
### 2. Output Statistics Summary
Upon running the script in the sandbox environment, it produced the following output:
```text
=========================================
EXAM GRADE REPORT SUMMARY
=========================================
Number of Students : 100
Minimum Score : 1
Maximum Score : 100
Mean Score : 51.31
Median Score : 53.50
Standard Deviation : 29.70
=========================================
Histogram successfully saved to 'grade_report.png'
```
---
### 3. Generated Histogram Details (`grade_report.png`)
The script successfully outputted `grade_report.png` in high-resolution format (300 DPI) containing:
- **Clean Grid & Styling**: Standard light-gray horizontal grids to easily identify column heights.
- **Grade Bins**: Defined score ranges of size 10 (e.g., 0–10, 10–20, ..., 90–100) using custom spacing to give the columns a professional look.
- **Key Metrics Highlighted**:
- A red dashed line representing the **Mean** (`51.31`).
- A yellow dotted line representing the **Median** (`53.50`).
- **An Info Legend and Box**: In the top-left area summarizing all descriptive statistics for easy offline reference.
### How to Run it Yourself
If you want to run this script in another environment, ensure you have the required packages installed:
```bash
pip install matplotlib numpy
python generate_report.py
```
Ce qui est renvoyé, c’est un résumé en langue anglaise simple et non la sortie du programme. Il décrit les actions de l’agent, à savoir le code qu’il a écrit, les paquets qu’il a installés et les résultats obtenus, tandis que le script et le fichier de graphique restent dans le sandbox distant.
Il s’agit de quelques lignes de code compréhensibles. En coulisses, l’agent :
- a démarré un sandbox Ubuntu Linux
- a écrit un script Python pour générer des données aléatoires et calculer des statistiques
- a installé
matplotlibde lui-même, sans qu’on ne lui dise que c’était nécessaire - a exécuté le script et a généré un histogramme dans
grade_report.png - a renvoyé un résumé contenant les statistiques ainsi que la confirmation que le graphique avait été enregistré
Une tâche plus ambitieuse nécessite plusieurs outils ensemble.

Dans cette exécution, l’agent recherche sur Google via la navigation web, traite les données grâce à l’exécution de code et stocke les résultats par l’intermédiaire de la gestion de fichiers, tout cela en autonomie au sein d’une seule appel API. Son résultat suit.
The landscape of Python web development in **2026** is marked by a fascinating split [1, 2]. On one side, classic **backend-first** and **API-focused** frameworks (Django, FastAPI, Flask) remain the dominant standards for enterprise applications and microservices [3, 5]. On the other side, **pure-Python UI and full-stack** frameworks (Streamlit, Reflex) have seen explosive growth—driven by the need to build interactive web apps, data dashboards, and AI/ML interfaces without writing JavaScript or TypeScript [1, 2].
Below is an in-depth research report on the **top 5 most popular Python web frameworks in 2026**, ranked by GitHub stars and overall developer adoption.
---
### Detailed Breakdown of the Top 5 Python Web Frameworks
#### 1. FastAPI (99,034 GitHub Stars)
* **Latest Version:** `0.136.3` (Released: **May 23, 2026**)
* **Architecture Type:** ASGI (Asynchronous Server Gateway Interface)
* **Primary Focus:** High-Performance APIs and Microservices [4]
* **Core Philosophy:** FastAPI is designed to build APIs quickly with standard Python type hints. It leverages **Pydantic v2** for extremely fast data validation and serialization, and **Starlette** for high-concurrency async handling [3, 4]. It natively auto-generates interactive Swagger UI and ReDoc documentation.
* **Ideal Use Case:** AI/ML model deployment, backend APIs for single-page applications (React/Vue/Svelte), and low-latency microservices [5].
#### 2. Django (87,811 GitHub Stars)
* **Latest Version:** `6.0.6` (Released: **June 3, 2026**)
* **Architecture Type:** WSGI & ASGI (Fully async-supported)
* **Primary Focus:** "Batteries-Included" Monolithic Web Applications [4]
* **Core Philosophy:** As an 18-year industry standard, Django remains the premier full-featured web framework [2]. It handles everything—database routing (via its powerful ORM), administration panels, user authentication, form validation, and robust security defaults (SQLi, CSRF, XSS protection) [1]. In 2026, Django 6.x is highly optimized with full native asynchronous views and type hints [4].
* **Ideal Use Case:** Large-scale enterprise applications, content management systems, e-commerce platforms, and fast SaaS MVP development where you need a complete, secure architecture out of the box [2, 5].
#### 3. Flask (71,638 GitHub Stars)
* **Latest Version:** `3.1.3` (Released: **February 19, 2026**)
* **Architecture Type:** WSGI
* **Primary Focus:** Lightweight, Flexible Microframework [4]
* **Core Philosophy:** Flask provides a minimalist core, leaving the choice of database ORM, form handling, and security components completely up to the developer [1, 2]. Paired with modern 2026 extensions (SQLAlchemy 2.x, Pydantic), it represents a simple, un-opinionated foundation that never gets in the developer's way [3].
* **Ideal Use Case:** Small utility applications, lightweight APIs, microservices, and custom projects where developers want total control over their system design [1, 5].
#### 4. Streamlit (44,895 GitHub Stars)
* **Latest Version:** `1.58.0` (Released: **May 28, 2026**)
* **Architecture Type:** UI-First Scripting Paradigm
* **Primary Focus:** Rapid Data and Machine Learning Applications [1]
* **Core Philosophy:** Streamlit turns standard Python scripts into interactive, beautiful web apps in a matter of minutes. It handles the entire frontend and backend flow by re-running the script from top to bottom whenever a user interacts with a widget.
* **Ideal Use Case:** Quick data dashboards, machine learning model prototypes, and internal analytical tools for teams without frontend resources [1, 2].
#### 5. Reflex (28,467 GitHub Stars)
* **Latest Version:** `0.9.4` (Released: **June 4, 2026**)
* **Architecture Type:** Full-Stack Async React-Compiled
* **Primary Focus:** Interactive, Pure-Python Full-Stack Apps [2]
* **Core Philosophy:** Formerly known as Pynecone, Reflex compiles Python code into a high-performance **React/Next.js frontend** and a **FastAPI backend**, using real-time WebSockets to synchronize states between them [1, 2]. It bypasses JavaScript entirely, offering 60+ pre-built Radix UI components with native Tailwind integration [1, 2].
* **Ideal Use Case:** Complex, interactive web applications, real-time streaming dashboards (e.g., AI chat applications, financial trackers), and user-facing SaaS applications built entirely in Python [2].
---
### Other Honorable Mentions in 2026
While they didn't make the top 5 by GitHub stars, these frameworks are heavily utilized:
* **Tornado** (22,182 stars, v6.5.7, Released June 8, 2026): A mature, asynchronous networking framework ideal for long-lived WebSocket connections [4].
* **Sanic** (18,629 stars, v25.12.1, Released May 31, 2026): An ASGI web framework built for extreme speed and Flask-like simplicity, running on its own high-performance web server.
* **Litestar** (8,269 stars, v2.23.0, Released May 29, 2026): A highly structured, strict, and enterprise-grade ASGI alternative to FastAPI [3, 4].

| **Reflex** | ~28,467 | `0.9.4` | Jun 04, 2026 | Async React-compiled | Interactive, real-time SaaS & full-stack apps in pure Python [2] | True multi-page routing, state management without JavaScript [2] | **Moderate** |
---
### Guidance: Which Framework Should You Choose in 2026?
1. **Choose FastAPI** if you are building modern REST/GraphQL APIs, backend microservices, or deploying AI/ML models with high concurrency and automatic documentation [3, 5].
2. **Choose Django** if you are building database-driven business platforms or SaaS architectures where user authentication, administrative interfaces, and built-in security are paramount [1, 2].
3. **Choose Flask** if you need to build simple backend services or you want to hand-select every tool in your stack (e.g., combining custom database layers with external identity providers) [1].
4. **Choose Streamlit** if your core team consists of data scientists or business analysts who need to quickly present internal analytics, charts, and interactive widgets without building a complex web architecture [1, 2].
5. **Choose Reflex** if you want to build a fully interactive, production-ready full-stack application (with complex states, WebSocket interactions, and beautiful custom styles) but do not want to divide your team between Python and JavaScript [2].

La deuxième interaction a réutilisé l’environnement et les paramètres de l’interaction précédente, puis a demandé une version HTML du rapport, index.html, en indiquant explicitement que le contenu HTML devait figurer dans la réponse.
I have successfully converted your `report.md` file into a clean, modern, and highly responsive **`index.html`** webpage!
### What was done:
1. **Designed a cohesive palette:** Implemented a modern climate-tech inspired aesthetic using Slate (`#1e293b`) and a range of deep and light teals (`#0f766e`, `#14b8a6`, `#115e59`).
2. **Added an Interactive Stat Dashboard:** Created a high-level statistical summary card grid displaying key 2026 data at a glance (e.g., global Mtpa capacity, Stratos targets, US Section 45Q tax credits).
3. **Structured visual highlights:** Embedded two distinct grid comparison cards for the **Climeworks Mammoth** and **1PointFive Stratos** facilities, as well as a custom callout block highlighting the trans-European **Northern Lights** shipping route.
4. **Professionalized the typography & chemistry:** Used system-ui fonts for excellent loading speeds and correctly formatted all chemical formulas to standard subscripts (e.g., **CO<sub>2</sub>**).
5. **Citations & Interactivity:** Mapped the original references into clickable, superscript citation numbers (e.g., `[1]`) that link smoothly down to a beautifully bulleted "Sources Cited" section with custom index bullet styling.

<!-- Executive Summary -->
<section id="executive-summary">
<h2>Executive Summary</h2>
<p>
In 2026, the Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) industry is undergoing an "industrial hardening" phase, transitioning decisively from demonstration-stage pilots to commercial-scale infrastructure<sup><a href="#ref-1" class="citation-link">[1]</a></sup>. Global operational capture capacity has reached approximately 73 million metric tons per annum (Mtpa) as of mid-2026, up from 50 Mtpa in early 2025<sup><a href="#ref-1" class="citation-link">[1]</a></sup><sup><a href="#ref-2" class="citation-link">[2]</a></sup>. This momentum is propelled by robust climate policies, corporate carbon-removal commitments, and the commissioning of megaton-scale facilities.
</p>
</section>
<!-- Point-Source Capture -->
<section id="point-source">
<h2>Point-Source Capture: The Current Backbone</h2>
<p>
Point-source carbon capture remains the commercial backbone of CCUS<sup><a href="#ref-2" class="citation-link">[2]</a></sup>. Technologies deployed at industrial and energy facilities—such as cement, steel, chemicals, and refining—now represent the vast majority of active capture capacity. Post-combustion chemical absorption using amine-based solvents is the most widely deployed technology<sup><a href="#ref-2" class="citation-link">[2]</a></sup>. Companies like Carbon Upcycling Technologies are successfully integrating capture systems with utilization, converting captured carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>) into high-quality construction materials, turning emissions from cement manufacturers into a low-carbon concrete feedstock<sup><a href="#ref-3" class="citation-link">[3]</a></sup>.
</p>
</section>
<!-- Scaling Direct Air Capture -->
<section id="dac">
<h2>Scaling Direct Air Capture (DAC)</h2>
<p>
Direct Air Capture is experiencing a dramatic scale-up<sup><a href="#ref-4" class="citation-link">[4]</a></sup>. Climeworks' "Mammoth" facility in Iceland, operational since May 2024, captures up to 36,000 tons of CO<sub>2</sub> annually, storing it permanently underground via Carbfix mineralization<sup><a href="#ref-4" class="citation-link">[4]</a></sup><sup><a href="#ref-5" class="citation-link">[5]</a></sup>. Meanwhile, 1PointFive's (a subsidiary of Occidental Petroleum) "Stratos" facility in Ector County, Texas, is entering active operation in 2026<sup><a href="#ref-4" class="citation-link">[4]</a></sup>. Designed to capture up to 500,000 tons of atmospheric CO<sub>2</sub> annually using liquid solvent technology licensed from Carbon Engineering, Stratos is currently the world’s largest DAC plant<sup><a href="#ref-4" class="citation-link">[4]</a></sup><sup><a href="#ref-6" class="citation-link">[6]</a></sup>.
</p>
<div class="highlight-grid">
<div class="highlight-box">
<h4>Climeworks: Mammoth (Iceland)</h4>
<p>Nameplate capacity of 36,000 tons/year. Relies on solid-sorbent collectors powered by clean geothermal energy with deep Carbfix basaltic storage.</p>

<h4>1PointFive: Stratos (Texas)</h4>
<p>World's largest facility with 500,000 tons/year target. Employs liquid-solvent infrastructure designed for rapid regional scalability.</p>
</div>
</div>
<p>
Major technology firms (including Microsoft, Google, Meta, and Amazon) have signed multi-year offtake agreements for high-quality, durable carbon credits, paying between $200 and $300 per ton, though current baseline DAC capture costs remain high, between $400 and $1,000 per ton<sup><a href="#ref-3" class="citation-link">[3]</a></sup><sup><a href="#ref-7" class="citation-link">[7]</a></sup>.
</p>
</section>
<!-- Infrastructure, Transport, and Policy -->
<section id="infrastructure">
<h2>Infrastructure, Transport, and Policy</h2>
<p>
The commercial viability of carbon capture relies heavily on dedicated transportation and storage networks<sup><a href="#ref-2" class="citation-link">[2]</a></sup>. In Europe, 2026 marks the active operation of Norway’s "Northern Lights" project, the world's first open-source CO<sub>2</sub> transport and storage network<sup><a href="#ref-8" class="citation-link">[8]</a></sup>. For example, Yara's flagship Sluiskil ammonia plant in the Netherlands is liquefying up to 800,000 tons of CO<sub>2</sub> annually to be shipped by Northern Lights for permanent undersea storage<sup><a href="#ref-8" class="citation-link">[8]</a></sup>. Concurrently, Denmark’s "Greensand" offshore storage initiative is beginning operations<sup><a href="#ref-2" class="citation-link">[2]</a></sup>.
</p>
<div class="callout">
<div class="callout-title">The Trans-European Shipping Pathway</div>
<p>Northern Lights bridges emission-heavy inland industrial sites like Yara Sluiskil in the Netherlands directly with permanent injection storage wells beneath the North Sea seabed.</p>
</div>
<p>
On the policy front, the sector is heavily anchored by government subsidies. In the United States, the Inflation Reduction Act’s (IRA) modified Section 45Q tax credit provides up to $180 per metric ton for DAC and $85 per metric ton for point-source capture<sup><a href="#ref-9" class="citation-link">[9]</a></sup>. In the European Union, the Net Zero Industry Act has accelerated cross-border transport approvals, providing regulatory certainty.
</p>
</section>
<!-- Key Challenges -->
<section id="challenges">
<h2>Key Challenges</h2>
<p>
Despite rapid progress, critical bottlenecks persist. Chief among these is the high energy intensity of DAC, which requires 1.5 to 2.5 megawatt-hours (MWh) of zero-carbon energy per ton of captured CO<sub>2</sub><sup><a href="#ref-7" class="citation-link">[7]</a></sup>. Permitting delays for geologic injection wells—specifically the EPA’s rigorous Class VI permits in the United States—also restrict how fast captured carbon can be sequestered<sup><a href="#ref-4" class="citation-link">[4]</a></sup>. Overcoming these economic and infrastructure hurdles remains essential to achieving megaton targets by 2030.

Le rapport généré a l’aspect suivant.
Les deux IDs
Comme le montre le tableau, les deux IDs ont des fonctions différentes.
Un conseil : environment_id peut être fourni sans previous_interaction_id. Cela permet de réutiliser les fichiers et les paquets installés, mais démarre une nouvelle conversation, ce qui convient pour partager l’espace de travail à des fins de tâche nouvelle.
Téléchargement des fichiers
Prier l’agent de placer le contenu des fichiers dans sa réponse est une option, bien que ce ne soit généralement pas la préférée. Souvent, le fichier doit être fourni directement depuis le sandbox. La liste ci-dessous reprend la session multisteps précédente qui a généré un rapport Markdown et une version HTML, et ajoute à la fin du code permettant de télécharger l’ensemble des snapshots de l’environnement sous forme de fichier tar et de les extraire dans un dossier local. C’est ce que l’environnement des Agents Gérés prend en charge actuellement.
import os
import requests
import tarfile
from google import genai
client = genai.Client()
# Turn 1: Research and create a report
interaction_1 = client.interactions.create(
agent="antigravity-preview-05-2026",
input="Research the current state of carbon capture technology in 2026. "
"Write a comprehensive 500-word report and save it as report.md",
environment="remote"
)
print(f"Environment ID: {interaction_1.environment_id}")
print(f"Interaction ID: {interaction_1.id}")
print(interaction_1.output_text)
# Turn 2: Build on the previous work - same sandbox, same files
interaction_2 = client.interactions.create(
agent="antigravity-preview-05-2026",
environment=interaction_1.environment_id, # ← Re-attaches to same Ubuntu sandbox
previous_interaction_id=interaction_1.id, # ← Preserves conversation memory
input="Convert that report.md file into a clean index.html webpage "
"with modern inline CSS styling and responsive design."
" Please output the contents of the index.html file"
)
print(interaction_2.output_text)
env_id = interaction_2.environment_id
api_key = os.environ.get("GEMINI_API_KEY")
response = requests.get(
f"https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta/files/environment-{env_id}:download",
params={"alt": "media"},
headers={"x-goog-api-key": api_key},
allow_redirects=True,
)
with open("snapshot_env.tar", "wb") as f:
f.write(response.content)
os.makedirs("extracted_env_snapshot", exist_ok=True)
with tarfile.open("snapshot_env.tar") as tar:
tar.extractall(path="extracted_env_snapshot")
Au moment de la rédaction, il n’existe pas de méthode SDK pour cela, donc l’aperçu provient d’une requête REST directe. Après exécution du programme, les fichiers extraits apparaissent dans un dossier local.
Personnalisation des agents avec des compétences et des personnalités
Au lieu d’une seule longue chaîne de prompt, Antigravity utilise un système de configuration basé sur le système de fichiers. Lorsque le sandbox démarre, il cherche un répertoire caché .agents/.
📁 Your-Project-Directory/
└── 📁 .agents/
├── 📄 AGENTS.md ← Global system instructions (persona, rules, standards)
└── 📁 skills/
└── 📁 data-cleaner/
└── 📄 SKILL.md ← Specific skill with step-by-step instructions
AGENTS.md en tant que personnage
Celui-ci contient les règles de base, les limites comportementales et le contexte du projet pour l’agent, un peu comme un README que celui-ci lit avant chaque tâche.
SKILL.md pour des compétences modulaires
Les compétences regroupent les connaissances spécialisées en unités réutilisables, avec YAML frontmatter pour les métadonnées et Markdown pour les instructions.

name: data-cleaner
description: Use when the user needs to clean, normalize, or validate tabular data files.

# Data Cleaner
## When to Use
- User provides CSV, Excel, or JSON files that need cleaning
- Data has missing values, inconsistent formatting, or duplicate rows
## Steps
1. Load the data file using pandas
2. Profile the data: count nulls, duplicates, and type mismatches
3. Apply cleaning rules (fill nulls, normalize strings, deduplicate)
4. Save the cleaned output and generate a summary report
L’idée centrale est la divulgation progressive. L’agent ne charge pas le contenu complet d’un SKILL.md que lorsqu’il décide que cette compétence est importante pour la tâche en cours. Lors du démarrage, il ne lit que le name et le description présents dans le frontmatter, ce qui permet de maintenir la fenêtre de contexte propre.
Si une compétence ne s’active pas comme prévu, la cause est presque toujours son description dans le frontmatter. Il convient de la rendre plus précise quant au moment où elle doit s’activer.
Création d’un agent persistant
Pour un environnement de production, une configuration d’agent persistant peut être enregistrée une seule fois afin d’éviter de la répéter. L’API des agents crée alors un agent nommé, ici utilisant la compétence de nettoyage des données présentée dans la section précédente.
from google import genai
client = genai.Client()
# Register a reusable, named agent with the data-cleaner skill baked in
agent = client.agents.create(
id="my-csv-cleaner",
base_agent="antigravity-preview-05-2026",
system_instruction="You are a data quality engineer. Always use pandas for data manipulation. "
"Always generate a before/after summary showing what changed.",
base_environment={
"type": "remote",
"sources": [
{
"type": "inline",
"target": ".agents/AGENTS.md",
"content": (
"# Data Quality Agent\n\n"
"## Standards\n"
"- Never drop rows silently — log every removal with a reason\n"
"- Normalize all string columns to lowercase, stripped of whitespace\n"
"- Output cleaned files in UTF-8 CSV format\n"
"- Always print a summary table at the end\n"
)
},
{
"type": "inline",
"target": ".agents/skills/data-cleaner/SKILL.md",
"content": (
"---\n"
"name: data-cleaner\n"
"description: Use when the user needs to clean, normalize, or validate tabular data files.\n"
"---\n"
"# Data Cleaner\n\n"
"## When to Use\n"
"- User provides CSV, Excel, or JSON files that need cleaning\n"
"- Data has missing values, inconsistent formatting, or duplicate rows\n\n"
"## Steps\n"
"1. Load the data file using pandas\n"
"2. Profile the data: count nulls, duplicates, and type mismatches\n"
"3. Apply cleaning rules (fill nulls, normalize strings, deduplicate)\n"
"4. Save the cleaned output and generate a summary report\n"
)
}
]
}
)
print(f"Agent created with ID: {agent.id}")
En enregistrant ce fichier sous le nom create_csv_cleaner_agent.py et en le lançant, on crée un agent persistant accessible par son ID, my-csv-cleaner.
Pour le mettre en fonctionnement, créez d’abord un fichier CSV contenant des données de clients délibérément désordonnées, nommé messy_customers.csv.
name,email,phone,country
John Smith,john@example.com,+14155551234,US
jane doe, JANE@EXAMPLE.COM ,4155559999,
John Smith,john@example.com,+14155551234,US
Bob Wilson,bob@@invalid,+442071234567,
María García,maria@test.com,+34612345678,Spain
alice brown ,alice@example.com,,US
Charlie Lee,charlie@test.com,+61412345678,AU
jane doe,jane@example.com,+14155559999,
On peut alors invoquer l’agent par son identifiant depuis n’importe où dans une application, en utilisant un script tel que run_csv_cleaner_agent.py.
from google import genai
client = genai.Client()
# Read your local CSV file
with open("messy_customers.csv", "r") as f:
csv_content = f.read()
# Inject the file into the sandbox and tell the agent to clean it
interaction = client.interactions.create(
agent="my-csv-cleaner",
input="Clean the file at data/customers.csv. "
"Remove duplicate rows by email (case-insensitive), "
"standardize phone numbers to E.164 format, "
"fill missing 'country' fields by looking up the phone country code, "
"and flag any rows where the email format is invalid. "
"Generate a before/after summary showing what changed.",
environment={
"type": "remote",
"sources": [
{
"type": "inline",
"target": "data/customers.csv", # ← Path inside the sandbox
"content": csv_content # ← Your local file contents
}
]
}
)
print(interaction.output_text)
L’array sources de ce script charge des fichiers dans le sandbox avant le démarrage de l’agent. Pour l’agent, data/customers.csv n’est qu’un fichier ordinaire sur son système de fichiers Linux, et il ignore complètement que le fichier a été transféré depuis une machine locale. Tous les types de fichiers sont acceptés, y compris CSV, JSON, XML, des scripts Python et des fichiers de configuration.
Remarquez que la description ne mentionne ni pandas, ni UTF-8, ni de conventions de journalisation. Ces détails figurent déjà dans AGENTS.md et SKILL.md qui accompagnent l’agent en question, et la compétence data-cleaner s’active automatiquement car le texte de la tâche correspond à sa description. Un exemple d’exécution est présenté ci-dessous.
I have successfully cleaned the customer dataset at `data/customers.csv` using Python and `pandas`.
Below is a detailed report and before/after summary of the transformations applied.
---
### Summary of Transformations
1. **whitespace Trimming:** Stripped all leading and trailing whitespace from both column names and text values (e.g., ` alice brown ` became `alice brown`).
2. **Email Normalization & Validation:**
- Converted all email addresses to lowercase and trimmed whitespace.
- Added a new column `email_invalid` (boolean) to flag emails with an invalid format.
- Identified `bob@@invalid` as an invalid format (due to a duplicate `@` symbol and lack of a top-level domain).
3. **Phone Number Standardization:**
- Standardized all valid phone numbers to the international **E.164** format using the `phonenumbers` library.
- Converted `4155559999` (with a default US region fallback) to `+14155559999`.
- Ignored the missing phone number for `alice brown` while leaving it empty.
4. **Country Code Lookup:**
- Looked up and populated missing `country` values based on the telephone country code prefix.
- Filled `jane doe`'s country as `US` (derived from prefix `+1`).
- Filled `Bob Wilson`'s country as `GB` (derived from prefix `+44`).
- Kept existing valid country entries (e.g., `Spain`, `US`, `AU`) intact.
5. **Deduplication:**
- Removed duplicate rows by performing a case-insensitive match on the cleaned `email` column, keeping the first occurrence.
- Safely removed the duplicate row for `john@example.com` (Row 3).
- Safely removed the duplicate row for `jane@example.com` (Row 8).
---
### Before/After Summary
#### 1. Data Quality Metrics
| Metric | Before Clean | After Clean | Change Description |
| :--- | :---: | :---: | :--- |
| **Total Rows** | 8 | 6 | 2 duplicate rows were removed. |
| **Duplicates Removed** | 0 | 2 | Dropped rows 3 (`john@example.com`) and 8 (`jane@example.com`). |
| **Invalid Emails Flagged** | 0 | 1 | Flagged `bob@@invalid` as invalid (`email_invalid = True`). |
| **Standardized Phone Numbers** | 1 | 5 | All numbers formatted to E.164 (e.g., `4155559999` -> `+14155559999`). |
| **Filled Country Fields** | 5 | 6 | Filled 2 missing country values (`US` and `GB`) via phone prefix lookups. |
#### 2. Row-by-Row Comparison
Below is the row-by-row evolution from the raw file to the cleaned output:
| Row # | Name (Before) | Name (After) | Email (Before) | Email (After) | Phone (Before) | Phone (After) | Country (Before) | Country (After) | Email Invalid Flag | Action Taken / Status |
| :---: | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :---: | :--- |
| **1** | `John Smith` | `John Smith` | `john@example.com` | `john@example.com` | `+14155551234` | `+14155551234` | `US` | `US` | `False` | Retained as first unique instance. |
| **2** | `jane doe` | `jane doe` | ` JANE@EXAMPLE.COM ` | `jane@example.com` | `4155559999` | `+14155559999` | *Missing* | `US` | `False` | Email normalized; Phone formatted to E.164; Country populated from `+1` prefix. |
| **3** | `John Smith` | — | `john@example.com` | — | `+14155551234` | — | `US` | — | — | **Removed** (Duplicate email). |
| **4** | `Bob Wilson` | `Bob Wilson` | `bob@@invalid` | `bob@@invalid` | `+442071234567` | `+442071234567` | *Missing* | `GB` | `True` | Country populated from `+44` prefix; Email flagged as invalid. |
| **5** | `María García` | `María García` | `maria@test.com` | `maria@test.com` | `+34612345678` | `+34612345678` | `Spain` | `Spain` | `False` | Retained; Email valid; Preserved existing country. |
| **6** | ` alice brown ` | `alice brown` | `alice@example.com` | `alice@example.com` | *Missing* | *Missing* | `US` | `US` | `False` | Name whitespace stripped; Phone left empty; Preserved existing country. |

Cas d’usage dans le monde réel
Avec les bases en place, quelques agents montrent comment les éléments s’assemblent, chacun introduisant une nouvelle fonctionnalité.
Cas d’usage un : refactoring du code et correction des tests
Prenons un projet Python contenant du code obsolète et des tests qui échouent. Un LLM ordinaire fournit des extraits de code, laissant le développeur les copier, exécuter les tests, déboguer et itérer manuellement. Avec Antigravity, l’agent clone le code, exécute la suite de tests, lit les erreurs affichées dans la console, corrige le code source et réexécute les tests, en boucle jusqu’à ce que tous réussissent.
Un répertoire d’exemple contenant délibérément du code défectueux sert de cible. Il comprend trois bugs à l’origine de six échecs de tests :
calculate_total()dansutils.pyeffectue des calculs sur une chaîne de caractèrestax_ratesans la convertir en nombre flottant.
normalize_name() dans utils.py plante lorsqu’on lui passe None, car il n’y a pas de vérification pour ce cas.Invoice.summary() dans models.py fait référence à self.total, qui est l’objet de méthode, au lieu d’appeler self.total().L’agent chargé de le gérer est défini comme ceci.

### 1. Modified Files & Diff Summary
#### File: `src/models.py`
- **Issue**: In the `Invoice.summary()` method, the `self.total` method itself was passed to `format_currency()` as an object, instead of being invoked (`self.total()`). This led to a `TypeError` during format evaluation.
- **Fix**: Changed `self.total` to `self.total()`.
- **Diff Summary**:

#### File: `src/utils.py`
- **Issues**:
1. **`calculate_total()`**: When `tax_rate` is received as a string, Python fails to perform multiplication of float/string (`TypeError: can't multiply sequence by non-int of type 'float'`).
2. **`normalize_name()`**: When passed a `None` value (common in CSV imports), the code raised `AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'strip'`.
- **Fixes**:
1. Explicitly cast `subtotal` and `tax_rate` to `float` prior to calculating the tax.
2. Add a safeguard to return an empty string (`""`) when `name` is `None`.

Sans aucune assistance, l’agent :
- exécute
git clonedans la terminal de l’environnement isolé - exécute
pip install -r requirements.txtavec le Python de l’environnement isolé - exécute
pytest -vet lit toute la sortie, y compris les erreurs - ouvre les fichiers sources en erreur et localise la logique défectueuse
- écrit des correctifs, enregistre les fichiers et exécute à nouveau
pytest - répète le processus jusqu’à ce que la sortie ne montre plus d’erreurs
C’est le cycle planifier, agir, observer en action. L’agent ne se contente pas de générer du code : il le met en exécution, lit la sortie réelle de la terminal et s’auto-corrige.
Cas d’usage deux : analyse concurrentielle
Supposons qu’une équipe ait besoin d’une analyse compétitive approfondie des produits concurrents. Le nettoyage manuel est fastidieux, et les outils de scraping prédéfinis tombent en panne constamment. Ici, l’agent effectue des recherches sur Google à l’aide de ses outils de navigation, parcourt les sites concurrents, gère les différents layouts des pages, écrit son propre script en pandas pour organiser les données et exporte un tableau final.

As a Business Intelligence Analyst, I have conducted a precise competitive analysis of the top three frontend deployment alternatives to Vercel: **Netlify**, **Cloudflare Pages**, and **Google Cloud Run**.
All findings have been structured using `pandas` and exported to `/` (the current working directory) as:
1. `competitive_matrix.csv` — The raw, structured dataset.
2. `competitive_analysis.md` — A comprehensive, reader-ready report including a detailed markdown comparison matrix, architectural breakdowns, limitation analyses, and a tailored recommendation framework.
All data has been verified against official vendor pricing, product, and developer documentation as of **June 9, 2026**. All currency values are normalized in **USD**.

### Core Finding Highlights
#### 1. Netlify
* **The Architectural Shift (April 2026):** Netlify made a massive strategic update to its Pro plans, moving from a seat-based model ($19/member/month) to a **flat $20/month per organization** [10]. This includes unlimited team members (Owners, Developers, Reviewers, and Git Contributors) [10], which is highly disruptive compared to Vercel's strict per-seat billing.
* **The Credits Trap:** Usage is now managed entirely via a unified credit-based model (300 credits/mo free, 3,000 on Pro) [2, 10]. However, credits are consumed fast: bandwidth costs 20 credits per GB [2, 10] (meaning Free tier is only **~15 GB max** and Pro is only **~150 GB max** if solely used for traffic). If Free tier credits run out, **all site traffic pauses immediately** (no auto-recharge is supported on Free) [2, 11].
* **Capabilities:** Highly integrated features like Netlify Database (managed Postgres via Neon) [4], Blob storage, Forms, and Auth [10]. Serverless timeout is 10s on Free/Personal [2] and 26s on Pro [2].
#### 2. Cloudflare Pages
* **Unmetered Freedom:** Genuinely **unlimited and unmetered static bandwidth and requests** across all tiers (including the $0 Free tier) [24, 25, 27].
* **The Pro Tier ($20/mo billed annually / $25/mo monthly):** Tied directly to Cloudflare's Workers Paid plan [25, 27]. It increases build limits from 500/mo to 5,000/mo, concurrent builds from 1 to 5, and the file-count ceiling per project from 20,000 to 100,000 assets [31] (unlocked via the `PAGES_WRANGLER_MAJOR_VERSION=4` env variable) [31].
* **Edge Isolates Constraints:** While running serverless code on Cloudflare's global network of 310+ cities is blazingly fast with zero cold starts [24, 33], it uses a **strict V8 edge runtime** [24]. Standard Node.js library modules (`fs`, `path`, native `crypto`) do not run natively [24], forcing developers to compile meta-frameworks like Next.js via edge adapters (e.g., `@cloudflare/next-on-pages` or OpenNext) [24] which restricts certain features like Incremental Static Regeneration (ISR).
#### 3. Google Cloud Run
* **Pure Container Portability:** Cloud Run runs any application, language, or compiled binary (Node.js, Python, Go, Rust) packaged in a standard Docker container [37, 39]. It runs full Node.js natively [39], ensuring 100% Next.js feature parity (ISR, Server Actions, dynamic image optimization) with zero edge-runtime workarounds [39].
* **No Monthly Base Fee:** Operates on a pure pay-as-you-go serverless model (billed in granular vCPU-seconds and GiB-seconds) [41], backed by a generous Always Free tier (2 million requests/mo, 180,000 vCPU-seconds, 360,000 GiB-seconds, and 120 daily Cloud Build minutes free) [37, 38, 41].
* **The Infrastructure Overhead:** Not a standard "push-to-deploy" platform. Developers must write Dockerfiles, configure Artifact Registry, and manage IAM and networking [37, 39]. It is regionally hosted; to get a global CDN with SSL mapping, you must set up Cloud CDN and a Global HTTP Load Balancer [37] (~$20-$30/mo base fee) and navigate container cold starts (2 to 10+ seconds) [37] and expensive internet egress rates ($0.085 - $0.12 per GB) [37].

Une suite peut réutiliser l’environnement et les interactions précédents, en prenant le fichier competitive_matrix.csv généré et en le transformant en visualisation. Le code ci-dessous ne récupère que la réponse textuelle, mais la technique de téléchargement présentée précédemment permet d’extraire les fichiers générés depuis le sandbox.

2. Create a pricing comparison chart for the paid tiers
3. Save both charts as PNG files with clear labels and a professional color scheme
4. Add the charts as embedded images in the competitive_analysis.md report

print(interaction_2.output_text)
Le concept ici est la navigation sur le Web combinée à l’exécution de code au sein d’une seule tâche. L’agent recherche sur Internet en temps réel, puis écrit du Python pour structurer et visualiser ce qu’il a trouvé, tout cela dans un seul flux.
Modèles qui fonctionnent en production
Prévoyez de reconstruire. Les performances des modèles s’améliorent rapidement, il convient donc de concevoir les agents en supposant qu’ils seront bientôt remplacés par de nouveaux modèles. Gardez la configuration modulaire, car les fichiers AGENTS.md et SKILL.md sont faciles à remplacer, et évitez de sur-engineer la couche d’orchestration.
Décomposez les grands agents. Évitez un agent massif avec une instruction système de 2 000 mots. Divisez les problèmes complexes en sous-agents spécialisés.
Considérez les erreurs comme des entrées, et non comme des pannes. Dans des conceptions d’agents solides, les erreurs constituent des données que l’agent utilise pour réfléchir et se corriger. Il lit un TypeError, analyse sa cause et la corrige. Évitez les blocs try/except généraux qui masquent les échecs et laissez l’agent les percevoir.
Préférez les évaluations à des tests unitaires. Le comportement des agents n’est pas déterministe, donc les tests devraient se concentrer sur des métriques d’évaluation plutôt que sur une correspondance exacte des résultats.
# ❌ Don't: Assert exact output
assert agent_output == "The answer is 42"
# ✅ Do: Evaluate behavioral success rate
results = [run_agent(task) for _ in range(20)]
success_rate = sum(1 for r in results if r.meets_criteria) / len(results)
assert success_rate >= 0.85 # Agent succeeds at least 85% of the time
Coût des jetons de surveillance. Comme l’agent exécute un cycle de raisonnement autonome, une seule demande peut déclencher de nombreuses opérations internes, ce qui fait que le coût par tâche varie considérablement. Ce tableau donne une idée approximative.
Pendant le développement, utilisez des délais d’attente stricts et surveillez la longueur des traces générées ; utilisez également system_instruction pour demander à l’agent d’être concis lorsque des raisonnements détaillés ne sont pas nécessaires.
Prévoyez les échecs. Les modèles de gestion des erreurs pour les cas d’échec courants sont résumés ici.
Fonctionnement interne
Plusieurs mécanismes expliquent le comportement observé ci-dessus :
- Une seule appel API,
interactions.create(), démarre un cycle d’orchestration du côté serveur. Un modèle Gemini Flash continue de raisonner, de choisir des outils, d’exécuter du code et d’examiner les résultats jusqu’à ce que la tâche soit terminée.
environment_id retourné lors des appels ultérieurs, on conserve les fichiers et l’état entre les différentes interactions, ce qui évite de créer un environnement virtuel vierge à chaque fois.client.agents.create() et invoquée n’importe où grâce à son ID.Ideas pour le prochain agent
- Un agent CI/CD qui surveille un dépôt GitHub, exécute des tests à chaque mise à jour et ouvre des demandes de correction pour les échecs
- Un générateur de documentation qui lit un code source et écrit des documents API complets
- Un orchestrateur de pipelines de données qui se connecte à un entrepôt, exécute des transformations et valide les résultats
- Un agent de tri qui lit les tickets, évalue leur gravité, rédige des réponses et escalade les problèmes critiques
- Un assistant de recherche qui prend un sujet, cherche des articles et des publications, puis rédige une revue de littérature avec des citations
Quelles modifications ?
Les agents gérés changent la manière dont l’IA est développée. Les développeurs cessent d’assembler l’infrastructure autour du modèle et se contentent de lui donner un objectif ainsi qu’un environnement de travail isolé. Cet environnement isolé constitue l’abstraction, le cycle d’action de l’agent le fait fonctionner, et l’API Interactions en est le point d’entrée unique. Une approche sensée consiste à commencer petit, en imposant des limites strictes à ce que l’agent peut faire sans surveillance, avant d’élargir progressivement son champ d’action.
