Pydantic Monty: A Minimal Python Sandbox for AI Agents | Pydantic Meet Monty β€” a secure, minimal Python interpreter written in Rust for running AI-generated code. Learn where it sits between tool calling and full computer use, and why CodeMode matters for AI agents.

A few weeks ago our founder announced Monty, a minimal, secure Python interpreter written in Rust, for running code written by AI agents. People got excited. @sa.muelcolvin.com just wrote up the full story on why he's excited about it and you should be too.

Some personal (very belated*) news, I've moved to the bay area!

Let me know if you're in SF or Palo Alto and want to get coffee.

Also, last reminder that we have the inaugural Py AI meetup with @pydantic.dev in SF on Tuesday. Register now: luma.com/gjtfecc7

* I actually got here in the summer.

A screenshot of using Logfire + DBOS + Pydantic AI agent.

A screenshot of using Logfire + DBOS + Pydantic AI agent.

I wrote a tutorial on integrating DBOS with Logfire. It's super easy to set up (kudos to the @pydantic.dev team!) -> just a few lines to configure the exporter and your Logfire write token. Once it's running, you'll get a unified view of your app with logs + traces in one place.

uv tree for dbos v2.0.0

uv tree for dbos v2.0.0

Several people (thanks to @mitsuhiko.at and @sa.muelcolvin.com) noted early on that DBOS had too many dependencies. In the latest Python release, we trimmed it down to just 6 direct deps while still implementing durable workflows and queues in one library.

It's lightweight (for real).

I don't care. But if you do the underscore thing, that doesn't apply.

Human-seeded Evals: Scaling Judgement with LLMs (with Samuel Colvin) Β· Luma Everyone agrees evals are essentialβ€”but almost no one implements them rigorously. Why? They're hard to write, time-consuming, and brittle. Samuel Colvin,…

I'm chatting to Hugo Bowne-Anderson tomorrow about Human Seeded Evals and @logfire.pydantic.dev on Youtube at 4pm UK.

I'm pretty confident something like the think I'm describing here is where we'll end up with evals. Please join, I'd love to hear what you think.

pydantic-evals has been a major piece of work from David Montague over the last month.

I'm pretty excited to see it move the dial on how easily Python developers can benchmark and improve AI code.
