Bhardwaj works on the sandbox infrastructure that runs untrusted code for ChatGPT and Codex web. Plain fork-and-exec lets one tool call starve a shared node. Containers add cgroups for resource limits, but processes in them still share the host kernel with other users’ sandboxes. Quoted from YouTube’s auto-generated captions.
