A Daytona intern project turned into a deeper question about coding-agent RL. In an article, @dtgrav argues the sandbox is not just infrastructure—it's part of the training loop. Small delays in provisioning, filesystem operations, and command execution compound across thousands of trajectories into large training costs. He benchmarked how environment latency accumulates at scale and wrote up the findings.
