This talk explores the design principles behind creating secure and scalable agent sandbox clouds. It begins by explaining why AI models need the ability to execute code or use tools to handle tasks with verifiable rewards, such as math and coding problems. The presentation then delves into the evolution of sandbox technologies, from basic process isolation to advanced virtualization, emphasizing the critical need for robust security to protect against malicious or overzealous code execution in both research and product environments.

Arrakis is an open-source, self-hosted service for creating and managing AI sandboxes, designed for secure code execution and computer use by AI agents. It leverages microVMs to provide isolated environments, enabling AI models to safely utilize tools like code execution and search. The system emphasizes security, speed, and the ability for agents to backtrack and replan using snapshots, facilitating more complex task completion.
