We just completed the largest decentralised LLM pre-training run in history: Covenant-72B. Permissionless, on Bittensor subnet 3. 72B parameters. ~1.1T tokens. Commodity internet. No centralized cluster. No whitelist. Anyone with GPUs could join or leave freely. 1/n





Agents executing their own code is inevitable; it's too powerful not to happen. But I’m stuck on the architecture. Do we run this locally on the user's device, or safely in the cloud? Local sandboxes are the dream. Offline-first, zero latency, native access to your data. But can be easily done wrong. Allow Ingress/Egress? Access to environment variables? Permissions to filesystems, libraries? Remote feels more secure, easier to get started but much higher setup per individuall to access personal their data.

1/ We didn't need lightning-fast, secure code execution environments until AI agents arrived. Now we do. Agents generate unpredictable code in real-time. They need to execute it instantly, safely, AND at scale. Here's why VMs and containers both fall short, and why sandboxes are exactly what agents need 👇
