Re:Why We Built Our Own Background Agent on Monday January 12, 2026 @10:36PM (#46597085)
This is a great writeup! Could you share more about the sandbox <-> client communication architecture? e.g., is the agent emitting events to a queue/topic, writing artifacts to object storage, and the client subscribes; or is it more direct (websocket/gRPC) from the sandbox? I’ve mostly leaned on sandbox.exec() patterns in Modal, and I’m curious what you found works best at scale.
Can you describe a little about how you go from raw text to a summary? Is this supervised learning? If so, what is the training data?
