LF Live Webinar: Agentic AI in the Wild: Rethinking Trust When Your AI Has the Keys

Sponsor: Confidential Computing Consortium

The era of agentic AI isn’t coming; it’s already running across the enterprise and touching sensitive infrastructure with a level of autonomy that most security architectures were never designed to handle. This webinar explores how to use Confidential Computing to protect your enterprise in the new and rapidly evolving world of agentic AI. Learn more about the expanding threat surfaces that emerge when AI agents operate autonomously across enterprise environments, from prompt injection and model tampering to data exfiltration through compromised runtimes, and why vulnerabilities uncovered through new agentic tools make clear that traditional perimeter-based defenses are no longer sufficient.

Hear directly from experts at Edgeless Systems, Intel and NVIDIA on the front lines of agentic AI deployment as we examine where existing security stacks fall short and how Confidential Computing delivers the hardware-rooted, full-stack trust model that agentic AI demands, securing models, data, and execution environments from silicon to cloud. Hosted by the Confidential Computing Consortium ahead of Confidential Computing Summit 2026, this talk will provide the essentials for enterprise security architects, AI infrastructure leads, and anyone responsible for deploying AI in regulated or high-stakes environments who refuses to let speed of adoption outpace security posture.

https://linuxtex.gumroad.com/l/chatgpt-mastery

Linux Mint has a hidden built-in tool that turns ANY website into a clean, standalone desktop app โ€” and it completely changed how I use my PC. In this video, I show you how to use Linux Mint Web Apps (the Webapp Manager) to turn websites like YouTube, YouTube Music, ChatGPT, Notion, and Google Docs into proper desktop apps that live right on your panel โ€” no extra software, no browser tab chaos.

Whether you’re a Linux Mint beginner or a long-time daily driver, you’ll learn how to create your first web app, customize icons, pick the right browser (Firefox vs Chrome), strip the navigation bar for a native feel, use isolated browser profiles, and point a web app at one specific document or folder. I’ll also share the must-have websites worth converting into apps โ€” from WhatsApp Web, Telegram, and Discord to Figma, Canva, Trello, Google Calendar, and Netflix.

If you’ve ever felt lost in a sea of browser tabs, Linux Mint Web Apps are the cleanest productivity upgrade you’re not using. Try it today!

Training Agents: Live tutorial on how to fine-tune a coding agent for continual learning

Training Agents: Live tutorial on how to fine-tune a coding agent for continual learning

Training Agents: Live tutorial on how to fine-tune a coding agent for continual learning

Training Agents, Session 1: from raw agent traces to a supervised fine-tuning baseline.

In this live session, Iโ€™ll set up the first rung of an agentic post-training workflow: SFT. Weโ€™ll take public coding-agent traces, turn them into prompt/completion training data, run a small TRL + LoRA fine-tune, and inspect what the first metrics can and cannot tell us.

What weโ€™ll cover:
– Why start with SFT before GRPO or environment RL
– How agent traces become training examples
– Completion-only loss for chat/tool traces
– Running TRL SFT on Hugging Face Jobs
– Keeping experiments reproducible without checking in logs or checkpoints
– What the first eval metrics do and do not prove

Repo:
https://github.com/burtenshaw/training-agents

This is part of the Training Agents series: using coding agents to design, run, monitor, and review post-training experiments, while training models to become better agents.
