Retrace brings interactive debugging to AI agents

Retrace is a debugging and observability platform for AI agents that lets developers record, replay, and share execution traces. By tracking LLM calls, tool-use, and errors as spans, it allows developers to fork executions at failure points to test prompt or model fixes in real time.

// ANALYSIS

Retrace addresses the inherent non-determinism of AI agents by bringing classic interactive debugger concepts like time-traveling and forking to LLM workflows.

* Forking executions allows developers to test fixes on exact past failure states without re-running the entire sequence from scratch.

* First-divergence diffs help developers quickly distinguish between non-deterministic model variation and actual logic regressions.

* The focus on interactive debugging separates it from passive observability tools like Langfuse or Helicone by offering a playground to iterate on fixes.

* The free tier makes it highly accessible for developers starting to scale their agent workloads.

Cognition launches Devin security remediation program

Cognition has announced the Devin Security Vulnerability Remediation Program, a six-week structured engagement aimed at helping security teams proactively resolve their vulnerability backlogs. Rather than just identifying issues, the program embeds Cognition engineers alongside Devin, which uses Devin Security Swarm to ingest reports, reproduce vulnerabilities in isolated sandboxes to confirm exploitability, and draft verified patches for human review.
