> Free idea: I would like to be able to "jail" an agent inside a VM and send instructions to the harness from outside the VM to agent(s) installed inside. Ideally there is no Codex/Claude/etc. installed on the host.

You can do exactly that with coderunner

One would. But then the results are even weirder as opus 4.6 scored more than opus 4.8 by a huge margin

It looks like the author is specifically avoiding model's name, because results are really weird.

  Opus 4.8/4.7 scored 28%

  Opus 4.6 score 37%

So the author thought as let's not get into that just write Claude.

Have you tried https://instavm.io in US

Useful in splitting a big task - some parts are easy so give it to say Gemini. Some are harder so give it to gpt 5.5 and so on.

Also the throughput kind of increases since providers are different.

We have created Murmur[1] which kind of works with your existing subscription (having API key is not mandatory). You can just tag @copilot @codex from claude code to delegate work to them. (it can also do it on its own too btw)

1. https://github.com/instavm/murmur - Murmur

Not so subtle plug for another sandbox provider, https://instavm.io :

Apart from the above features.

  1. We support more than 32GB disk (as a shareable device, ideal for agentic memory)

  2. We provide egress control

  3. We provide vault for secret injection (to counter prompt injection)

  4. Snapshot / forking.

  5. long lived sandboxes.
Everything supported in APIs and CLI for agents.

Can be used via - npx skills add instavm/skills

AWS for AI agents - https://instavm.io

Providing sandboxes through a CLI. Guardrails such as egress control and secret injection and audit trails built in.

We can also be used as 3rd party sandboxes in Anthropic managed agent and OpenAI sdk.

6 months a bummer, but we got it for apple sandbox - coderunner (https://github.com/instavm/coderunner)

We got it yesterday, maybe they just started rolling it out and hence op posted this.

Yes it is funnily true but it was for fake news generation and not it's cyber capabilities.

Another fun little gem of information, government has something called Mayhem

> the autonomous Robo-Hacker AI called Mayhem that’s now in charge of protecting the Pentagon’s most critical systems

Guess Mythos and Mayhem had a chat

Apple containers are great for providing a sandbox to your AI coding agents

I have made it a MCP so that it's easily discoverable by all the coding agents

The article misses the point that you can have a third option - harness inside and outside both.

The use cases will evolve so much more in coming weeks and months that the boundaries will blur. You can still contain the agent outside in a sandbox though.

I also felt the need for a cloud based cron like automations, so decided to build it myself https://cronbox.sh with:

  1. an ephemeral linux sandbox for each task 
  2. capability to fetch any url
  3. can use tools like ffmpeg to fulfill your scheduled task

Not just sides, the vents are much sharper.

Few years back, I tried to look on reddit for complaints regarding this - barely anything.

> The biggest problem is the coding agents don't "Fail fast and loud". They fail deceivingly.

GPT 2 and 3 used to fail fast (and loud coz we could easily see it lying)
