When you use ChatGPT and it executes code, i.e. when you tell it to do something with a CSV file, it seems to run in a VM with certain tools and libraries available to it, and a sandboxed disk access; no internet access though. So it's kind of already there.

That’s also how Devin works, and OpenHands.

The agent running in a VM - at least by default - was a key feature during the AI pilot I ran a few months ago.
