We did train Codex models natively on Windows - https://openai.com/index/introducing-gpt-5-2-codex/ (and even 5.1-codex-max)

We have made this model even better at programming in Windows. Give it a shot :)

We have trained this model on Windows (our first model to do so). Give it a try!

Show HN: Arrakis-How to Build an AI Sandbox from Scratch [video]

abshkbh — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 16:17:27 +0000

Arrakis (https://github.com/abshkbh/arrakis) provides MicroVM-based secure sandboxes for code execution and full computer use. It features first-class support for backtracking, a Python SDK, and a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server.

In this talk, we go under the hood to explore how to architect an AI sandbox from the ground up. We’ll also dive into why sandboxes are becoming essential infrastructure for AI models and agents — enabling the next big unlock in intelligence.

Palash this is a great post, I learnt a lot as an image gen noob! Keep writing more :)

Amazing, I briefly worked on WSL v1 in 2015! 10 years and going

Crosvm (our original Google project) and its children projects Firecracker, Cloud-Hypervisor are all based on top of "/dev/kvm" i.e. the Linux Virtualization stack.

Apple's equivalent is the Apple Virtualization Framework which exposes kvm like functionality at a higher level.

Will come with MacOS support very soon :) Does work on Linux

Morden software consists of separation of responsibilities between services and a higher plane orchestrating the data flow for business logic.

If you believe there is value in fuzzy tasks being done by LLMs then from that it follows that having separate "agent" services with a higher order orchestrator would be required. Each calling LLMs on their own inside.

Hi HN!

My name is Abhishek. I've spent my career working on Operating Systems and Infrastructure at places like Replit, Google, and Microsoft.

Today, I'm excited to launch Arrakis: an open-source and self-hostable sandboxing service designed to let AI Agents execute code and operate a GUI securely.

GitHub: https://github.com/abshkbh/arrakis

Watch Claude build a live Google Docs clone using Arrakis via MCP – with no re-prompting or interruption. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZ5cAnhAdPQ

Key Features

- Self-hostable: Run it on your own infra or Linux server.

- Secure by Design: Uses MicroVMs for strong isolation between sandbox instances.

- Snapshotting & Backtracking: First-class support allows AI agents to snapshot a running sandbox (including GUI state!) and revert if something goes wrong.

- Ready to Integrate: Comes with a Python SDK (https://pypi.org/project/py-arrakis/) and an MCP server (https://github.com/abshkbh/arrakis-mcp-server) out of the box.

- Customizable: Docker-based tooling makes it easy to tailor sandboxes to your needs.

Sandboxes = Smarter Agents

As the demo shows, AI agents become incredibly capable when given access to a full Linux VM environment. They can debug problems independently and produce working results with minimal human intervention.

I'm the solo founder and developer behind Arrakis. I'd love to hear your thoughts, answer any questions, or discuss how you might use this in your projects!
