Mlejnsky: Agent sandboxes need persistent state, not one-off execution
“The important part is that you don't need to explain the model, and the model doesn't need to care about how to keep the state of the program running. So it was, especially with our earlier models, I think the models are now smarter, but they kept producing, l…”
