AI agent — An AI system that doesn't just answer once but works toward a goal in a loop — taking actions, reading the results, and deciding what to do next.
sandbox — An isolated environment where AI-generated code or agent actions run without being able to touch anything real.
model routing — Sending each request to a model chosen by the difficulty of the task, rather than using one model for everything.
