Abstract: In various examples, a game development testing platform is presented that leverages visual language models (VLMs) to identify and analyze bugs within video gameplay. The platform processes captured gameplay video to produce keyframes, representing unique and significant frames.

Abstract: System and method for fine granularity control of data access and usage for across multi-tenant systems. A user makes a request to access a particular set of data from a particular remote data source for a specific purpose. The system authorizes the user to validate whether the user is qualified to make the request. The data source is checked to see if the particular data has been granted access for that particular purpose. A cloud neutral token is created and converted into a cloud specific token upon reaching the remote data source. The cloud specific token is used to create a temporary IAM role and IAM policy with a predetermined time to live. After the time to live expires, the IAM role and IAM policy are deleted.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to employing an interactive speculative planning system to complete a plan and execute the steps of a requested task. Systems described herein implement a fast approximation agent and an accurate target agent to generate action steps in response to receiving a request to complete a task. For each task, the approximation agent generates action steps sequentially. Simultaneously, for every step the approximation agent produces, the described system calls the target agent asynchronously to generate the next step, using the current trajectory from the approximation agent as a provisional prefix. For each action step, if the outputs of the approximation agent and the target agent match, the described system continues the process. However, if there is a mismatch, the described system halts the approximation agent, and replaces its output with the target agent's output to ensure performance is not compromised.
