Autonomous agents are moving into real work faster than our ability to measure what happens when they're under attack. Day-Zero is a live adversarial research exercise that puts that question in a room.

For one night in Oakland, red & blue teams go head-to-head against a purpose-built multi-agent system. The goal isn't to find a single bug; it's to learn how agents behave under pressure: whether they can be pushed into doing something they shouldn't, whether they keep doing their job while compromised, & what changes when an agent knows an attack is coming. Findings feed an open field report for the wider community.

This is the third experiment in the Adversarial AI Experiment Series, following The Penthouse Heist (FR-001) & The Infrastructure Strikes Back (FR-002). It brings together security researchers, engineers, & academics - many of them leaders at major labs & companies participating in their personal capacity - alongside independent red teams & anyone who likes to break things for good reasons.

Come to attack, to defend, to judge, or to watch.

When: June 22, 2026

Where: 1900 Broadway, Oakland, CA
