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]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsFd22SL1s8

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...

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
https://github.com/abshkbh/arrakis Also building in this space using MicroVMs. Currently working on a Mac port. Would love to connect - abshkbh AT gmail.com
Re:MCP Run Python on Friday April 18, 2025 @01:46PM (#43730285)
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

Re:The Agent2Agent Protocol (A2A) on Wednesday April 09, 2025 @01:02PM (#43634485)
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.

Thank you :)
Ty! Ashish, excited to chat more about this tech.
