Building a safe, effective sandbox to enable Codex on Windows

OpenAI · 5 months ago · 53

OpenAI developed a sandboxed environment that allows Codex to run safely on Windows systems with restricted access to files and network resources. The sandbox implements controlled file access permissions and network limitations to prevent Codex from executing potentially harmful operations. This technical approach enables developers to use Codex code generation capabilities on Windows while maintaining security boundaries around system resources.
