In the announcement, rauchg describes Drives as an “external disk” for Sandbox that can be attached as needed. The idea is to separate an AI agent’s logic, tools and files rather than keep everything on one always-running computer. A nightly memory-consolidation job, for example, could access files without starting the agent’s full computer. The author argues that separating these components lowers costs and improves security and auditability. Drives is still early-stage, with expanded capabilities promised.
