Agentic AI Foundation adds four projects (OpenSandbox, Open Responses, Agent Skills, OpenEnv) as MCP discussion shifts to security

At AGNTCon + MCPCon 2026 the Agentic AI Foundation said it expanded from three to ten projects after contributions from Alibaba (OpenSandbox), OpenAI (Open Responses), Anthropic (Agent Skills) and Hugging Face (OpenEnv). The conference emphasized security and identity for agent protocols — including MCP task support in Claude Code, WebMCP origin-trial work from Chrome, and growing attention to attack surface after benchmarks like CyberGym and reported exploit results with GPT-5.6 Sol.

Microsoft’s ThinkingBox benchmark evaluates agents by backend state and is now on Hugging Face

ThinkingBox, a Microsoft benchmark that grades AI agents by the terminal backend state and side effects they leave (not just generated text), runs 507 stateful business workflows 20 times each and is now available through Hugging Face and runnable via OpenEnv. The paper and benchmark report substantial inconsistency: across 121,680 trials on 12 LLMs, 79,853 failed executable checks and many seemingly successful runs still produced wrong or missing database-side effects.

Hugging Face Hub adds dedicated RL Environments dataset filter and framework tags

Hugging Face Hub introduced a dedicated spot for reinforcement-learning environments: dataset repositories tagged rl-environment now appear in a new filter and show generated "Use this dataset" commands plus framework compatibility tags (e.g., Harbor, Verifiers, NVIDIA NeMo Gym, OpenEnv). The release focuses on publishing tasksets (tasks, tests, verifiers) in repo datasets to reduce siloed environment formats and to enable running and verifying tasks via Harbor, NeMo Gym, and Hugging Face Jobs/Sandboxes.

Training a coding model to paint watercolours with TRL and OpenEnv (Hugging Face)

Hugging Face published a post demonstrating how to use TRL together with OpenEnv to train a coding model to produce watercolour-style paintings. The write-up presents the workflow and tooling for applying these libraries to a creative, environment-driven training task.
