# AI Agent Developments: March 10, 2025 Enterprise AI Salesforce launched Agentforce 2dx, expanding its digital labor platform with new API integrations, VS Code support, and Lightning web components for embedding AI agents into enterprise workflows. The update enables autonomous agents to handle complex sales, HR, and operational tasks with enhanced customization. Analysts predict the platform could automate 25% of routine enterprise workflows by late 2025. OpenAI plans to debut specialized "PhD-level research agents" priced at $20,000/month, targeting industries like pharmaceuticals and advanced engineering. These tools aim to autonomously analyze scientific literature, generate hypotheses, and design experiments while citing sources—though early tests show limitations in distinguishing authoritative studies. Consumer Applications Anthropic’s Claude 3.7 Sonnet now supports extended reasoning modes for tasks like trip planning and meal prep, while Moderne’s Moddy agent leverages OpenRewrite to automate multi-repository code refactorings. Meanwhile, AI-powered government audit agents are reportedly analyzing trillions in federal spending using techniques adapted from Elon Musk’s xAI infrastructure. Research Breakthroughs Arc Institute and NVIDIA unveiled Evo 2, a biological LLM trained on 128,000 genomes, capable of generating synthetic chromosomes and predicting BRCA1 mutation impacts with 94% accuracy. Concurrently, HPE debuted the Aruba CX 8325P switch, providing nanosecond timing precision to support AI agent workloads in edge computing environments. Ecosystem Growth The AI agent marketplace now includes 1,092 agents across 54 categories, with customer service (64 agents) and productivity tools (81 agents) dominating. AgentExchange, Salesforce’s new marketplace, offers 200+ pre-built agent templates for rapid deployment in industries like healthcare and logistics. Ethical Concerns Experts warn of neural interface vulnerabilities as humanoid AI agents gain traction, prompting calls for ISO bio-cybersecurity frameworks. Salesforce’s Testing Center now includes tools to audit agent decisions for bias and compliance risks, while OpenAI launched an AI ethics certification program to standardize responsible development practices.
