Chainguard runs coding agents in remote microVMs and proposes signed attestations as the merge gate

Chainguard has launched two beta products, Workspaces and Checks, that run coding agents in remote microVMs and move CI into the dev loop. Keeping agents off laptops that hold corporate credentials costs teams a dependency on Chainguard's execution and signing system, InfoQ reported.

Modal and Cloudflare sandbox runs come back without the isolation tier their docs describe

plimsoll's docs say E2B, Modal, Daytona, Vercel, Cloudflare and Northflank never report which isolation tier a run got. A dev.to writer verified two of them. The other four rest on plimsoll's reading alone.

Cyera's $1 billion Oasis deal puts a price on one of the AI risks in Anthropic's leaked S-1

Anthropic's leaked S-1 warns AI could resist shutdown or game tests, and only agent-control startups have found acquirers, Cyera paying $1 billion for Oasis. Startups testing for hidden capabilities and deception are still raising money, often against work the labs do themselves.

Hosted agent sandboxes from OpenAI, Perplexity and Gobare disagree on what survives idle time

Misha, who works on Gobare, found in public docs that OpenAI may delete a sandbox idle for an hour and Gobare pauses one after five minutes. Perplexity promises nothing between responses, so jobs that wait on a human or serve a preview have to fit one of those clocks.

A self-hosted sandbox on OpenAI's Agents API still forfeits Zero Data Retention

OpenAI's Agents API, in public beta since September 10th, runs the Codex harness on OpenAI's own infrastructure. The documentation says data residency is US-only and Zero Data Retention is unsupported, whichever sandbox you pick.

Baseten buys Blaxel to put the agent sandbox on the same network side as the model call

Baseten's case for owning the agent runtime is that latency and idle compute accumulate at every boundary an agent crosses between the model call and its sandbox, on numbers Blaxel reported itself.

Devin now rents its execution: Cognition keeps the brain, Modal supplies the machines

Devin Outposts on Modal moves code execution into infrastructure the customer runs, which makes a sandbox vendor, not a model vendor, the thing platform teams must procure and secure.

The retry sends the email twice: what agent framework comparisons leave out

Durable execution restores orchestration state. It cannot untake a payment, a send, or a ticket, and no ranked feature table for AutoGen, CrewAI, LangGraph or Flowise closes that gap.
