Aetius Treats AI-Agent Security Like Regression Testing

aetius.app ↗ · Developer Corner · score 84.0
Open: public page gives enough substance to understand the site $Paid: pricing, booking, ecommerce, subscription, or paid access is visible ADAds: visible ad load or ad-supported content Pretty: notable design, copy, craft, or presentation Pro: polished, finished-feeling, serious, or operationally mature Niche: specific audience, workflow, or unusually focused use case Human: personal, local, community, civic, handmade, or real-person signal !Suspicious: scammy, spammy, trust theater, finance fog, or credibility concern

A pre-launch system reconstructs a production AI agent from its traces, runs adversarial tests before and after a change, and reports a credible interval instead of a brittle pass/fail score.

Why it surfaced

Aetius focuses on a concrete failure mode: a prompt edit, tool addition, or model upgrade quietly making an agent easier to compromise. Its illustrative report distinguishes flagged, no-difference-detected, and inconclusive results, with an example using 2,400 tests per arm and explicit power calculations.

The 240-Material Organ

August 16’s newborn domains include a 240-material perfume organ, a repeatedly saved JPEG cat, a ski tracker designed by a 15-year-old, and a searchable page claiming to contain 148,303 prescription records.

This is one of 1,000 discoveries in the 2026-08-16 Domain Arrivals issue.
