What are HyperAgents?

Meta's self-modifying AI agents that analyze, patch, and deploy their own code improvements in safe loops.

Are HyperAgents safe for real-world use?

Preliminary yes — with sandboxes, proofs, human gates, and anchors — but scale-up risks need solving.

Will HyperAgents replace programmers?

Not soon; they'll automate grunt work, freeing devs for high-level design in evolving systems.
