What NVIDIA's Secure Agent Workspace design says about that, and how a KyberCell answers it. - always-on agents - KyberCell - isolation [Read article →](https://kyberagent.com/blog/an-always-on-agent-needs-a-cell) [Two rounded compute cells facing each other across a small balance scale, a third cell with a magnifier lens standing behind it](https://kyberagent.com/blog/two-agents-disagree) October 22, 2026·4 min read ## [Two agents disagree: how a swarm settles a dispute](https://kyberagent.com/blog/two-agents-disagree) Two sub-agents return contradictory results and the planner must pick one.
