xij··on Running agents in a sandbox or VM is the wrong pattern
Quite the opposite, the personal agents space is the one that we are trying to avoid.

There are many companies working on personal agents, or in a broader term, we can call them the interactive agents.

However, just like the internet, not all computational work is interactive. Batch processing is also very important. This is the motivation for me to write this blog and build this project.

For example, one of our customers builds a swarm of agents that simulate customer behavior to test the products before launch. Such a task can be run in batch and doesn't require a human to sit with the agents. (Therefore, non-interactive)

First, the worker has to read the entire session log only if the next action is inference.

You are right that my writing is misleading. To clarify that, I mean the worker only needs the tail of the log to decide what to do next: inference or execute tools.

Yes, exactly. That's why their harness has no incentive to help you save tokens. Just conflict of interest.
