Quick glossaryarXiv, AI agent, runtime authorization
- arXiv
- An online research archive run by Cornell University where scientists share papers before formal peer review.
- AI agent
- A software program that can carry out multi-step tasks by itself, often using tools like web browsers or apps.
- runtime authorization
- Permission rules that are checked while a program is running, deciding what it is allowed to do at that moment.
