Latest Developments in AI Agents - February 21, 2025 Together.AI secured $305 million in Series B funding to scale its AI Acceleration Cloud, targeting open-source developers and enterprises building autonomous agents capable of handling complex workflows like real-time data analysis and decision-making pipelines. Computer Agent Arena, launched by an international research consortium including Salesforce Research and Carnegie Mellon University emerged as a unified evaluation platform for testing multimodal LLM-based agents across diverse applications like Chrome and Excel while maintaining security protocols. DataRobot integrated Agnostiq’s Covalent compute orchestration framework into its platform following its acquisition this month enabling enterprises to deploy agentic workflows across hybrid cloud environments with reduced infrastructure costs. Meanwhile OpenAI’s Deep Research, now publicly available leverages its o3-mini model for autonomous multi-step analysis synthesizing hundreds of online sources into reports comparable to human analysts despite acknowledged hallucination risks.
