The fast growth of open-source AI infrastructure, from model serving engines and agent platforms to the Model Context Protocol (MCP) ecosystem and the language models themselves, has outpaced the security tooling available to defend it. We present AI-Infra-Guard, an open-source framework that organizes AI red teaming around a single observation: the attack surface of an AI agent is stratified across layers (infrastructure, protocol/tool, agent behavior, and model), and no single detection paradigm fits all of them. The framework therefore matches a paradigm to each layer, from deterministic rule matching over 75+ AI components and 1{,}400+ vulnerability rules, through LLM-driven agentic auditing of MCP servers and agent-skill packages and multi-turn black-box agent red teaming, to a jailbreak harness with 26+ attack operators over sixteen datasets. To our knowledge it is the only open-source framework to span all of these, including supply-chain auditing of the agent skills that increasingly extend AI agents. We release AI-Infra-Guard as open source so that \emph{layer-paradigm matching} can serve as a practical foundation for agent security and a shared base for the community to build on.

Scalable reinforcement learning has popularized high-throughput sampling architectures, which significantly compresses the training time for off-policy methods in robotic locomotion. However, the rapid increase of data volume and update frequency undermines the stability of value-based methods and diminishes the plasticity of policy networks. To address these challenges, this work presents FastDSAC, a fast and high-performance variant of the Distributional Actor-Critic algorithm designed for parallel sampling scenarios. Specifically, we introduce a truncated Gaussian distribution to approximate the learned policy, which effectively excludes out-of-distribution actions that strain target value estimation while keeping necessary stochasticity for exploration. The proposed action constraint functions as an implicit regularization, which counteracts the plasticity loss typically caused by aggressive gradient updates. This preservation of network adaptability enhances sample efficiency, particularly in scenarios with a high update-to-data ratio, and accelerates the early training process. In contrast to prior fast reinforcement learning approaches that rely on discrete value distributions, our method utilizes a continuous Gaussian representation equipped with adaptive variance regulation, which improves value estimation accuracy by sampling confident and informative transitions. Extensive experiments on MuJoCo Playground and HumanoidBench demonstrate that FastDSAC not only stabilizes the overall training process but also achieves superior asymptotic performance and faster convergence compared to state-of-the-art baselines.
