IBM Research and cloud provider CoreWeave announced joint engineering of identity and workload controls for AI agents. IBM built a large H100 GPU cluster with CoreWeave’s infrastructure and added CoreWeave Sandboxes for isolated execution, either on dedicated hardware or a managed serverless runtime. The controls let researchers choose where agent code runs and what resources it can access, while IBM measures the security‑performance trade‑offs.

## The facts

- IBM and CoreWeave built a large H100 GPU cluster for IBM Research.
- The partnership includes CoreWeave Sandboxes for isolated agent workloads.

## Why it matters

Researchers can test reinforcement‑learning agents in secure, isolated environments, lowering the risk of data or network breaches.
