Our analysis

Why it matters

Useful autonomy depends on the surrounding system as much as the model. Isolation, approvals, and recoverability are product features to compare.

Keep in perspective

What to watch for

Read the current privacy and rollout details. The launch architecture is a description of protections, not a promise of risk-free automation.
