I work on that team! We're growing extremely rapidly (I joined 4 months ago from GDM and I'm at the 50th percentile of tenure), if you're interested in E2E model training reach out at https://microsoft.ai/careers/

That's a very good point. Let me speak with some folks and see what I can do.

Sorry for the delay in replying!

We actually use gVisor (as stated in the article) and it has a very nifty feature called checkpoint_restore (https://gvisor.dev/docs/user_guide/checkpoint_restore/) which lets us start up sandboxes extremely efficiently. Then the filesystem is just a CoW overlay.

We could, it's just not high up on the priority list. Any particular reason you want php?

I submitted this HN link with a title that exactly matches the one on the article, but I didn't write the title on the article. AFAIK HN posts should match the title of the article they link to.

Canvas actually has a mix of this sandbox (with a different container) and fully client-side.

The "run" option for generated code was removed due to underutilization, but the sandbox is still used for things like the data analysis workflow and running extensions amongst other things. It's really just a general purpose sandbox for running untrusted code server-side.

I'm on the Google side of the equation. I think the title is a bit sensationalized, but that's the author's prerogative.

That's a good question! It's not incompatible, it's just a matter of getting the flow right. I can't comment too much on that process but I'm excited for the possibilities there.

That's the system I work on! Please feel free to ask any questions. All opinions are my own and do not represent those of my employer.

I noticed seemingly all deaths in Manhattan are labeled as having occurred in flushing, a nearby neighborhood. Perhaps an off by one error?

Oh hey! I ghost-wrote an earlier article that references the same idea (https://blog.google/technology/ai/bard-improved-reasoning-go...). I wonder if they came to it independently or if they read mine and it planted some seeds? Either way, super cool work.
