gabrielchua · x · 2026-07-14
OpenAI's Abhi shared insights on Agent Sandbox Cloud, discussing the transition from the fork() era to an agent-native cloud environment.
Reflecting on Arrakis, a secure sandbox project based on MicroVM, he broke down agent cloud design into three layers:
- Runtime: Ensuring agents run stably in controlled environments
- Persistence: Managing state, files, and persistence
- Orchestration: Handling task scheduling and collaboration
He concluded by emphasizing that storage and file systems are core components of an agent cloud, not just incidental details.
