Explains how Anthropic decouples an AI agentAn 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.Full definition →'s brain from its sandboxAn isolated environment where AI-generated code or agent actions run without being able to touch anything real.Full definition → so a sandbox failure does not kill the agent, and how credentials are used without entering the sandbox. Useful design patterns for agent builders.
Terms in this piece · Glossary
eval — A repeatable test for AI quality — a set of tasks plus scoring — used the way software teams use test suites, because model output is too variable to judge by eyeballing.
distillation — Training a small, cheap model to imitate a big one's outputs, keeping much of the capability at a fraction of the cost.
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.
