# Cloud and remote sandbox execution (`surfaces.cloud_sessions`) Feedback Bench, coding agents, built 2026-10-01, window 2026-08-31 to 2026-09-27. Web page: https://feedbackbench.com/#/criterion/surfaces.cloud_sessions Area: [Interface and sessions](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/interface.md) **Definition.** Agents run in hosted or remote environments. Covers persistence when the laptop closes, access to local files, session caps, and start or resume time. **Boundary.** Not this: see [Pay-as-you-go overage, fallback billing and spend caps](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/billing.overage_charges.md) for how cloud runs are billed. Not this: see [Long unattended runs and goal/loop mode](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/work.long_running_autonomy.md) for run behaviour. Rated author-weeks, all agents: 732. Complaint share: 34%. ## The brief Written by Claude Opus 5.5 from 79 labelled posts and the numbers on this page. Interpretation, not measurement: every quote is verbatim and links to its post. **Closing the laptop is solved; reconnecting and local files are not.** TL;DR: - Devin and Amp lead by giving each agent a real VM you can SSH into or hand off. - OpenAI Codex trails on remote disconnects, frozen steering messages and cloud workspaces that miss the repo. - Top asks are hosted execution, macOS and Windows cloud machines, and running agents on own infrastructure. In plain terms: Users love starting a task and walking away while the agent keeps working. The pain starts when the cloud copy cannot see local files, drops the connection, or only offers Linux when the work needs a Mac. ### How it breaks - **Remote sessions drop and steering freezes** ([Cloud and remote sandbox execution](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/surfaces.cloud_sessions.md)). The remote link is the weak joint, with users reporting repeated disconnects and messages that hang instead of reaching the running agent. Codex users describe a remote client that disconnects every time and a websocket reconnect error that has gone unfixed for months. Steering a live run means pausing the whole chat first, or the message freezes. Claude Code shows a quieter version: a long-lived remote tab keeps running on an old model until someone restarts it. Resume and keep-alive for interrupted sessions is a standing request, led by Codex users. Evidence: - Complaint, OpenAI Codex, r/codex, 2026-09-13: “i have always wondered why they cannot just make it as good as claude remote; codex remote disconnects every time, and it is a pain to work with steering messages. i have to pause the entire chat and submit my message; otherwise, a steering message gets frozen forever if i submit it” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/codex/comments/1wf2wi5/why_codex_remote_connection_is_very_bad_and_any/p9ilpx1/) - Complaint, OpenAI Codex, X search: OpenAI Codex, Codex CLI, Codex app, 2026-09-02: “the better option would to make cloud integration like grok bot does "along with local execution" unlike codex cloud doesn't offer, because one can run something like xcode locally even though it wont support on linux cloud (but yeah mac must be on most times but cloud along with local execution must be added to codex, since ios remote take refreshing time a lot) and also the project naming doesn't match in codex mac app vs remote connected ios app, since remote just show the directories where it was created unlike codex app, one can rename it to naything or move in between, as much as codex app is nice the remote is worse and specially reconnecting 5/5 ... conenctin g to websocket error is never fixed since months” [source](https://twitter.com/1860362921231941632/status/2095230818918826078) - Complaint, Claude Code, @ClaudeDevs, 2026-09-23: “wondering why the remote session that i started from mobile isn’t updated to opus 5.5. it’s because the rc tab i have in warp that’s been going for five days needs to be restarted. @claudedevs more reason to have the desktop app as the bridge. ” [source](https://twitter.com/227366159/status/2102613661529612777) - **Cloud moves work away from local files** ([Cloud and remote sandbox execution](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/surfaces.cloud_sessions.md)). When a vendor pushes work into the cloud by default, anything that depends on the user's own machine breaks, and users push back hard. One Claude Code user says scheduled jobs moved to the cloud without notice, cut off from the files they needed. Others simply prefer working locally and pushing when ready. A Cursor user wrote a standing rule to stop cloud agents entirely after runs kept stopping. Codex users call the cloud version inferior because it lacks the local environment and file system. The ask is a clean toggle, not a forced migration. Evidence: - Complaint, Claude Code, @ClaudeDevs, 2026-09-25: “@claudedevs why you move all my schedule to cloud without telling me? all the files that these schedule need is in my computer. it kills everything. who can you guys have authority to touch my property?” [source](https://twitter.com/1937709229198172160/status/2103405974103154936) - Complaint, Claude Code, r/ClaudeCode, 2026-09-24: “not sure i want to use this. i much prefer to work on my repositories locally and then push whenever i want.” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeCode/comments/1wpeib5/not_sure_how_to_use_this_ive_never_used_a_cloud/pbuq5t1/) - Complaint, Cursor, @cursor_ai, 2026-09-09: “made a rule to avoid cloud agents "creating a persistent rule so cloud agents and workspace moves are never used again." @cursor_ai the cloud keeps stopping my work so we must put rules in place that cloud is never used.” [source](https://twitter.com/20254407/status/2097499651637219724) - Complaint, OpenAI Codex, r/codex, 2026-09-16: “you’re conflating. no one is talking about models. we are talking about the options in the left hand menu. we are talking about the user interface and the underlying services they relate to. chatgpt will always be a cloud service. codex will always need to be a local service - and the cloud version is nice but heavily inferior to the local version (which has local environment, computer use, access to local file system, etc). work is codex, with some guardrails for non-coders.” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/codex/comments/1wghdgd/chat_work_and_codex_merging/pa3mehy/) - **Linux-only sandboxes stall Apple work** ([Cloud and remote sandbox execution](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/surfaces.cloud_sessions.md)). Cloud sandboxes that only run Linux leave iOS and cross-platform builds stranded on the laptop, and users name it as the bottleneck. Factory users want spawned machines that can build and test for every platform, not just Linux and Android. Conductor users want iOS development moved onto the VM. Devin's Mac VM, with simulator and screen recording, drew praise, though one reply says competitors got there first. macOS and Windows cloud environments rank among the most frequent requests across six agents. Evidence: - Complaint, Factory, @FactoryAI, 2026-09-23: “@enoreyes @factoryai @namespacelabs spawning droid computers is my usecase. it would allow droid to build and test for every platform rather than being restricted to linux and android like it is currently.” [source](https://twitter.com/2070908287978246144/status/2102739067540812237) - Complaint, Conductor, @conductor_build, 2026-09-11: “@conductor_build 3. the vm becomes the bottleneck (@conductor_build i would love it if i could finally move ios development over to the vm. you'd nab several competitors who have been doing cloud ios builds)” [source](https://twitter.com/20480365/status/2098402003927916710) - Praise, Devin, @cognition, 2026-09-16: “the agent can finally see the app it just built. 🍎 @cognition’s devin now boots its own mac vm — xcode, ios simulator, a screen recording for slack, then a testflight link when you’re ready to poke it yourself. • build + tap through on a cloud mac • same usage cost as linux for now (promo; can change) • no usb phone — simulator first; real device still you kick one ios bug to a macos session. watch it reproduce before it “fixes.” confirm: @cognition devin macos quote card, text exact, no media from us. post.” [source](https://twitter.com/1830487639604027392/status/2100255883997437969) - Complaint, Devin, @cognition, 2026-09-15: “@cognition too slow. @celestoai already supports macos sandboxes.” [source](https://twitter.com/1040117906720215040/status/2099965247297814910) - **Environment setup misses the repo** ([Cloud and remote sandbox execution](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/surfaces.cloud_sessions.md)). Several failures happen before any work starts, with cloud workspaces that attach to the wrong place or never finish booting. A paying Codex user reports the cloud workspace repeatedly spawning as a scratch directory despite a connected GitHub repo. An Amp orb retried setup about ten times with phantom interruptions, and the bug report could not be filed because the run never started. Cursor's mobile app would not start a session on a non-GitHub remote. Amp users also want branch control and one-click memory upgrades when an orb runs out. Evidence: - Complaint, OpenAI Codex, X search: OpenAI Codex, Codex CLI, Codex app, 2026-09-10: “@openai codex cloud workspace was not attached to my connected github repository, preventing paid development use my github account is connected and richseen/experience is accessible, but the codex conversation environment is repeatedly created only as /workspace/scratch help” [source](https://twitter.com/1932423573668515840/status/2097991528442650690) - Complaint, Amp, @AmpCode, 2026-09-21: “@ampcode my orb setup keeps failing and retrying. it’s retried about 10 times, each time saying it was interrupted even though i didn’t do anything. i wanted to give you a report i did but i cannot submit a report because the order didn't start @puckofamp could you take care of that? :> edit: amp_bug_6j26xeznirh6fxnrvdwmtv” [source](https://twitter.com/1993812110162448386/status/2102027097413656783) - Complaint, Cursor, @cursor_ai, 2026-09-11: “why don't cursor cloud agents support the “origin” repository? i can't start a new session with “origin” in the mobile app; i have to connect to github instead. @cursor_ai @elonmusk” [source](https://twitter.com/2297570975/status/2098372298738630836) - Complaint, Amp, @AmpCode, 2026-09-04: “two requests for @ampcode that i keep hitting: 1. more control over what branch the orb grabs. default on gh limits exploratory and throwaway branches that might need multiple rounds 2. if orb runs out of memory a button to auto upgrade the orb to the next size up would be nice” [source](https://twitter.com/1677262563992543235/status/2095909473759920135) - **The night shift is the payoff** ([Cloud and remote sandbox execution](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/surfaces.cloud_sessions.md)). When it works, the value is simple and concrete: work continues while the laptop sleeps, the desktop stays off, and the user travels. Claude Code users like not leaving a loud PC on overnight and getting an isolated, scriptable Linux box. Codex users praise remote machines that keep going after the lid closes. A Conductor user hands customer bugs to remote workspaces before a long flight. Cline users note the laptop stays light while work runs elsewhere. The catch, per one post, is that someone still has to review the morning diff. Evidence: - Praise, Claude Code, @ClaudeDevs, 2026-09-23: “@claudedevs keep claude code working even when your laptop is closed. the agent has a night shift now.” [source](https://twitter.com/3261184370/status/2102874501541167279) - Praise, Claude Code, r/ClaudeCode, 2026-09-24: “i mean it might not match your needs, i primarily like it because i don't have to leave my desktop on all day while i'm at work. and i can set it on a long task before i go to bed without leaving my loud ass pc on overnight, lol. but it's also an isolated linux environment that you can customize (you can have a custom setup script), which is cool for some people and useless for others. you can also create multiple separate environments. that's mildly helpful for me since my main machine is windows. it doesn't do anything you can't do yourself with a vm or always on dev box or anything, it's just super convenient for a hobbyist like myself, so i love it.” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeCode/comments/1wol1ty/claude_on_cloud_anyone_tried_it/pbp8m9l/) - Praise, OpenAI Codex, X search: OpenAI Codex, Codex CLI, Codex app, 2026-09-09: “@melvindvivas zellij - brainstorm is another codex, cli for the win - extra points because you can ssh into this machine that doesn’t stop working when you close the lid” [source](https://twitter.com/11900832/status/2097653895950721531) - Praise, Conductor, @conductor_build, 2026-09-06: “about to head onto a 6-hour flight; multiple bugs reported by my customers. used to cause massive stress. not anymore. paste the intercom conversation link into @conductor_build with remote workspaces. get ai to handle it. these issues will be fixed before i land, dont even worry about it.” [source](https://twitter.com/1147023900552773633/status/2096701683430838765) ### Who stands out - **Devin (stronger)**. Devin reads as cloud-native, with users praising SSH into the agent's own VM and a handoff primitive that turns delegation into collaboration. SSH access unlocks file sync, tunnels and port forwarding straight to the cloud agent. A per-agent Mac VM with Xcode and the iOS simulator extends that beyond Linux. Users say it excels in the cloud because it was built there. Complaints are thin: one user prefers their own VM, another says the Mac support arrived late. Evidence: - Praise, Devin, @cognition, 2026-09-21: “@cognition ssh into the agent’s vm finally makes cloud agents feel native — real work happens where the code and terminal are. /handoff is the interesting primitive: bidirectional collaboration beats one-shot delegation for anything beyond toy tasks.” [source](https://twitter.com/2050639391991934976/status/2102141144796893432) - Praise, Devin, @cognition, 2026-09-21: “to the @cognition power users: you are seen you can now ssh into your devins(!!) 🙌 this unlocks a whole world of features like nfs, scp, reverse tunnels, localhost forwarding, rsync to your cloud agent we're shipping some cool new features on top of this soon! ” [source](https://twitter.com/2809259849/status/2102107462757487074) - Praise, Devin, @cognition, 2026-09-16: “the agent can finally see the app it just built. 🍎 @cognition’s devin now boots its own mac vm — xcode, ios simulator, a screen recording for slack, then a testflight link when you’re ready to poke it yourself. • build + tap through on a cloud mac • same usage cost as linux for now (promo; can change) • no usb phone — simulator first; real device still you kick one ios bug to a macos session. watch it reproduce before it “fixes.” confirm: @cognition devin macos quote card, text exact, no media from us. post.” [source](https://twitter.com/1830487639604027392/status/2100255883997437969) - Praise, Devin, @cognition, 2026-09-19: “@brandon_galang @cognition @devinai kudos on team making swe-2 free on cloud. devin excels in cloud as it was built there” [source](https://twitter.com/1765566409168261120/status/2101314914413621293) - **Amp (stronger)**. Amp's orbs earn switching stories, with users saying they no longer need a dev machine and that orchestration across remote, cloud and local is the best around. Users run pet projects entirely in orbs and delegate heavy jobs to a local runner. Cloud machines just work, and users can plug in their own. A meta thread agent and iOS beta let people coordinate from a phone. Friction is specific: setup retries, branch defaults, out-of-memory sizing, and self-hosted runners that spawn new orbs unless told otherwise. Evidence: - Praise, Amp, @AmpCode, 2026-09-05: “i switched most of my pet projects to run exclusively in @ampcode orbs, except one heavy project that needs to spin headless intellij instances - that one delegates to the local runner (via amp --no-tui) i don't need a dev machine anymore, to be honest.” [source](https://twitter.com/1491081/status/2096231019619688951) - Praise, Amp, @AmpCode, 2026-09-13: “for folks with chatgpt subs, i highly recommend trying out @ampcode. imho it nails remote/cloud/local agent orchestration ux across devices better than anyone else today. oh and the harness is very extensible via plugins à la pi (though not to make tui extensions to be clear). ” [source](https://twitter.com/394369752/status/2098975441101185235) - Praise, Amp, @AmpCode, 2026-09-04: “ok so i love @ampcode . it's now my main driver for work. they have all the features i really wanted, that i was prepared to create my own harness for: - can use my chatgpt sub - easy cloud machines that just work (but also lets you plug in your own!) - great cross-thread comms, and a meta thread agent (puck). on mobile, i'll typically just talk to puck to coordinate work - speaking of which, solid ios app in beta - multiplayer, me and my team can collaborate and see each other's threads - supports schedules, and webhooks to automate workflows, and everything is setup via agent, no need for manual setup” [source](https://twitter.com/109443773/status/2095675039031136561) - Complaint, Amp, @AmpCode, 2026-09-02: “when you run @ampcode on your own infrastructure (with --no-tui flag), the agent needs an explicit instruction to create new threads _on the same runner_. otherwise, it will spin up the new orb and upload files from your infrastructure to the orb. something to be aware of.” [source](https://twitter.com/103563938/status/2095100005140861307) - **OpenAI Codex (weaker)**. Codex's local app is respected, but users describe its remote and cloud story as less seamless than rivals and prone to dropping connections. Posts cite disconnects, frozen steering messages, mismatched project names between the Mac and iOS apps, and cloud workspaces that ignore the connected repo. Users call the cloud version inferior to local because it lacks the file system and computer use. The bright spot is remote SSH, where an agent on a VM keeps working after the app closes. Evidence: - Complaint, OpenAI Codex, X search: OpenAI Codex, Codex CLI, Codex app, 2026-09-13: “@askpascalandy @ampcode pi is great but is catered more towards the tui and doesn’t have remote/cloud. codex app computer is still the best so i still use it for that, but i still find their remote/cloud story not as seamless as amp.” [source](https://twitter.com/394369752/status/2099181205346504850) - Complaint, OpenAI Codex, X search: OpenAI Codex, Codex CLI, Codex app, 2026-09-10: “@openai codex cloud workspace was not attached to my connected github repository, preventing paid development use my github account is connected and richseen/experience is accessible, but the codex conversation environment is repeatedly created only as /workspace/scratch help” [source](https://twitter.com/1932423573668515840/status/2097991528442650690) - Complaint, OpenAI Codex, r/codex, 2026-09-16: “you’re conflating. no one is talking about models. we are talking about the options in the left hand menu. we are talking about the user interface and the underlying services they relate to. chatgpt will always be a cloud service. codex will always need to be a local service - and the cloud version is nice but heavily inferior to the local version (which has local environment, computer use, access to local file system, etc). work is codex, with some guardrails for non-coders.” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/codex/comments/1wghdgd/chat_work_and_codex_merging/pa3mehy/) - Praise, OpenAI Codex, X search: OpenAI Codex, Codex CLI, Codex app, 2026-09-27: “@zh10only1 @theo bigtime. one thing which is a big nuisance for me not being able to run sessions on a remote machine eg: on codex app, i can connect to a remote machine, ask codex to do something there and then close the app, and the codex on the vm will keep going. can’t do in claude app.” [source](https://twitter.com/1396359061248094208/status/2104090019304538525) - **Cursor (mixed)**. Cursor splits users, with some praising real per-session machines and self-hosted cloud agents while others say the cloud keeps stopping their work. Fans like cloud agents on their own infrastructure with access to internal services, and cloud PR chats that can be dragged back into a project. Detractors say cloud became unusable recently, compare it unfavourably to Amp's orbs, and want a simple cloud or local toggle. Running cloud agents on own infrastructure is the top request from Cursor users. Evidence: - Praise, Cursor, @cursor_ai, 2026-09-09: “@cursor_ai cloud agents on my infra with access to internal services is the unlock i've been waiting on. scaling the pool matters less than the agent loop staying inspectable.” [source](https://twitter.com/2091157523155849217/status/2097754417810538696) - Praise, Cursor, r/cursor, 2026-09-12: “it addresses every quirk/limitation grokbot had for technical usecases: model selection, context windows, native ui integration with the core app. my mind was blown when i just dragged a cloud pr chat from two days ago into the project chat sidebar and the main agent just goes "on it, closing it out." and it did. cloud instances as just live anchor-text in the chat? brilliant! i threw a bunch of complexity at it in the past hour: cross-repo reference to do a complicated task. triage multiple outstanding issues. reconcile x/y/z. it worked. it did it well. i spent approximately 30s setting the whole thing up, and maybe two minutes of input while i focused on my primary work. just brilliant! only been using it for a day and i already see this as the future way of working. i honestly think with a bit more time in the oven, this approach represents a fucking revolution in computing!” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/cursor/comments/1wdorqg/cursor_projects/p99gu94/) - Complaint, Cursor, @cursor_ai, 2026-09-17: “post @xai acquisition @cursor_ai cloud is basically unusable. time to switch to @devinai fully... ” [source](https://twitter.com/1038351413917626368/status/2100617235555393863) - Complaint, Cursor, @cursor_ai, 2026-09-12: “@cursor_ai @bot it would be great if we could choose between cloud or local projects, or maybe have a toggle inside the project i like cloud agents for some things, but for demos etc i do prefer local” [source](https://twitter.com/1688258218948993024/status/2098626049924055523) - **Claude Code (mixed)**. Claude Code's cloud sessions win on keeping the agent alive overnight, but users resent cloud defaults that cut them off from local files. Teams describe dedicated cloud VM hosts and a design that sends summaries rather than full transcripts. Hobbyists like the custom setup script. Complaints centre on blurred lines between local and cloud threads, permission prompts that stall work, and users who would rather stay local. A local execution option is the top request from Claude Code users. Evidence: - Praise, Claude Code, @ClaudeDevs, 2026-09-24: “@claudedevs cloud sessions keep the agent going while the laptop sleeps. cost: you need a morning review habit or it ships garbage, who reads that diff?” [source](https://twitter.com/1970732404714414081/status/2103170386292875615) - Praise, Claude Code, r/ClaudeCode, 2026-08-31: “we use it at work, each developer has the app on their laptop and a dedicated cloud vm host. we also have several shared cloud vm host that the team uses so it has become a big part of our productivity. the encryption is same approach as the signal app, so it passed our audit. it is super fast because they do not send the whole agent transcript, they only send an overview and summaries, anything deeper is by request. that would be a nightmare if they did as we have sessions with tens of thousands of events. congrats on your build, it always feels good to get something across the finish line.” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeCode/comments/1w3kmw1/i_spent_9_months_building_my_own_web_ui_for/p72hq8c/) - Complaint, Claude Code, @ClaudeDevs, 2026-09-24: “@claudedevs very finicky terminal session have to get reread. you have to switch back and forth to look at a different thread the clear difference between local and cloud is blurred. i’m still sticking with terminal gui is cool but terminal gets the work done” [source](https://twitter.com/1800754570387177472/status/2103012146661466389) - Praise, Claude Code, @ClaudeDevs, 2026-09-24: “@claudedevs estou gostando de trabalhar na nuvem, mas precisa melhorar as permissões. ter que ficar mandando mensagem pra pedir pro "claude computador" fazer trava a produção.” [source](https://twitter.com/3775511057/status/2102942524520227249) ### Fine print - Most agents here have too few posts to rank; Conductor, OpenCode, Pi, Zed and others are directional at best. - Some posts read as promotional or automated, so treat any single quote with caution. - How cloud runs are billed and how long runs behave are covered on separate pages. ## Top requests What users ask to add or change, most asked first. 169 author-weeks ask for something. Requests do not change the Feedback Score. Rule: A separate pass by Claude Sonnet 5 reads every counted post and extracts what the author asks the agent or its vendor to add or change, with the criteria it maps to and a short normalised wording; it does not touch the labels or the Feedback Score. Claude Opus 5.5 groups the wordings within each criterion (the first criterion the request maps to) into themes; code counts them. A theme counts distinct author-weeks that ask for it, per agent; across agents, one author-week per agent. Themes asked in fewer than 2 author-weeks, and requests that share no theme, are not shown. Examples: up to 3 posts per theme from different authors, without slurs, preferring posts of 60 to 450 characters, most recent first. | Rank | Request | Author-weeks | Posts | Agents (author-weeks) | |---|---|---|---|---| | 1 | Hosted cloud agent execution support | 19 | 22 | Pi 4, OpenAI Codex 3, Devin 3, Google Antigravity 2, Claude Code 2, Cline 1, Conductor 1, Cursor 1, OpenCode 1, Zed 1 | | 2 | macOS and Windows cloud environments | 13 | 14 | Amp 4, Cursor 3, Devin 3, Claude Code 1, Conductor 1, Factory 1 | | 3 | Run cloud agents on own infrastructure | 11 | 11 | Cursor 6, Claude Code 3, Amp 1, Google Antigravity 1 | | 4 | Local execution option instead of cloud-only | 9 | 9 | Claude Code 5, Cursor 3, Conductor 1 | | 5 | Resume and keep alive interrupted sessions | 9 | 9 | OpenAI Codex 4, Amp 2, Claude Code 2, Devin 1 | | 6 | Attach clients to remote headless sessions | 8 | 8 | OpenCode 2, Zed 2, Claude Code 1, Cline 1, OpenAI Codex 1, Pi 1 | | 7 | Isolated sandbox per task or session | 8 | 8 | Cursor 3, Pi 2, Amp 1, Google Antigravity 1, Claude Code 1 | | 8 | Larger, resizable cloud sandbox resources | 8 | 8 | Amp 3, Claude Code 3, Conductor 1, Cursor 1 | | 9 | Sessions persist after laptop closes | 8 | 8 | OpenAI Codex 4, Claude Code 3, Cursor 1 | | 10 | Broader repository support in cloud sessions | 7 | 7 | Claude Code 3, OpenAI Codex 2, Cursor 2 | | 11 | Mobile control of cloud agents | 7 | 7 | Cursor 3, Claude Code 1, OpenAI Codex 1, Factory 1, OpenCode 1 | | 12 | Cloud session access from desktop app | 6 | 7 | OpenAI Codex 2, Cursor 2, Claude Code 1, Zed 1 | ### 1. Hosted cloud agent execution support - Pi, 2026-09-23, @pidotdev (X): “@pidotdev @mattlam_ @badlogicgames please, make this happen!” [source](https://twitter.com/568738762/status/2102808779557675038) - Pi, 2026-09-23, @pidotdev (X): “@samuelvrablik @pidotdev @badlogicgames ye it's easy to build one for myself, but i want the same ux as cursor's where anyone can spin up cloud agents easily, adn the infra is managed for you. also many different cloud agents, that's the goal.” [source](https://twitter.com/1689423238173007873/status/2102796386106487164) - Pi, 2026-09-23, @pidotdev (X): “@pidotdev something like opencode go will be highly appreciated.” [source](https://twitter.com/17648829/status/2102714998858600756) ### 2. macOS and Windows cloud environments - Devin, 2026-09-26, @cognition (X): “@premqnair @cognition if cognition starts a sandbox team with windows + mac, i swear it will be at 2b arr today” [source](https://twitter.com/1984076150570938372/status/2103681764397060529) - Amp, 2026-09-25, @AmpCode (X): “@sqs @sixhobbits @ampcode @sqs they’re good. i really liked devin macos orb. amp macos orb wen?” [source](https://twitter.com/1553373273639256065/status/2103437963472539744) - Claude Code, 2026-09-24, @ClaudeDevs (X): “@anthropicai @claudedevs if u put mac as option on claude code in cloud then yeah u will change the game bro. no more buying mac for mac dev” [source](https://twitter.com/969592565447254016/status/2103244456686473453) ### 3. Run cloud agents on own infrastructure - Claude Code, 2026-09-24, @ClaudeDevs (X): “@claudedevs @bcherny lo interesante sería que pudiéramos tener estas sesiones self-hosted en nuestro propio servidor o vps . lo mismo para los hilos de proyectos.” [source](https://twitter.com/146128229/status/2103079037526524166) - Claude Code, 2026-09-24, @ClaudeDevs (X): “@claudedevs instead of trying to extract more money from us when your plans are already expensive enough, i have submitted a feature request a while ago, that could fill this gap, because most of us own a homelab or vps: ” [source](https://twitter.com/780599461189853185/status/2102936797743550502) - Claude Code, 2026-09-23, @ClaudeDevs (X): “@claudedevs love this update. was a big fan of claude projects, but often found myself limited by the cloud environment wishing it would just run on my own machine. this caused me to revert back to remote control claude code sessions but looks like i can have best of both worlds now?!” [source](https://twitter.com/1005418656/status/2102893499175596363) ### 4. Local execution option instead of cloud-only - Claude Code, 2026-09-24, @ClaudeDevs (X): “@claudedevs that's very hard to find the work locally option, could you just make a checkbox for local when create a project. i got heavy computation project that much better work fully locally” [source](https://twitter.com/2038640161836371968/status/2102933917808697852) - Conductor, 2026-09-21, @conductor_build (X): “@shpigford @conductor_build @conductor_build seems to be 100% focused on their pro / cloud offering. it’s absolutely absurd now, you can use their cli to start new cloud workspace but can’t start local one.” [source](https://twitter.com/1824020603726069760/status/2101929186436825243) - Claude Code, 2026-09-18, @ClaudeDevs (X): “@claudedevs i use claude code extensively, but i've no interest in cloud, please make it work locally soon :)” [source](https://twitter.com/2509004038/status/2100747343046099297) ### 5. Resume and keep alive interrupted sessions - Amp, 2026-09-27, @AmpCode (X): “@sqs @purefunctor @ampcode more plugin hooks would make this more seamless - keepalive for orb is neat but would be nice to mark thread as active not idle. being able to inject ui (eg relayed turn messages) into the thread” [source](https://twitter.com/3852971/status/2104008031155470738) - Devin, 2026-09-22, @cognition (X): “@cognition the handoff is the interesting part. a session needs more than a live vm. it needs durable state and a permission snapshot, so resume means continuing from an auditable point instead of inheriting hidden context.” [source](https://twitter.com/1086404969576714240/status/2102396291271598088) - OpenAI Codex, 2026-09-13, r/codex (Reddit): “i have always wondered why they cannot just make it as good as claude remote; codex remote disconnects every time, and it is a pain to work with steering messages. i have to pause the entire chat and submit my message; otherwise, a steering message gets frozen forever if i submit it” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/codex/comments/1wf2wi5/why_codex_remote_connection_is_very_bad_and_any/p9ilpx1/) ### 6.

Isolated sandbox per task or session - Pi, 2026-09-24, @pidotdev (X): “@stablechen @pidotdev @badlogicgames @herdrdev i want to be able to easily spin up different vms, like cursor agents. i'm assuming more like daytona, hetzner etc. but some easy service that handles it all for me, and i can integrate into pi-gui” [source](https://twitter.com/1689423238173007873/status/2103165956990108122) - Claude Code, 2026-09-24, @ClaudeDevs (X): “@claudedevs cloud sessions are powerful — and a bigger blast radius if scopes travel with the job. when the laptop closes, i still want: task-scoped credentials, no ambient write/internet "just in case," and a kill switch that works off-device. autonomy ≠ unattended root.” [source](https://twitter.com/1910184974726090752/status/2103145358360518764) - Amp, 2026-09-24, @AmpCode (X): “@jkudish @robinebers @ampcode imo it's important to be able to use ephemeral or persistent cloud vms i want different vms for different coding and agent tasks” [source](https://twitter.com/7008772/status/2103140964080517139) ### 8. Larger, resizable cloud sandbox resources - Claude Code, 2026-09-26, @ClaudeDevs (X): “@claudedevs kind of a lame machine @anthropicai @bcherny @trq212 only 26gb of disk available? that's not enough to build and test a serious rust app ” [source](https://twitter.com/272645297/status/2103800889865617460) - Claude Code, 2026-09-26, @ClaudeDevs (X): “@anthropicai can you guys increase the cloud storage to 100gb , it seems unusable for big rust projects @rustlang @claudeai @claudedevs @lydiahallie” [source](https://twitter.com/932727389523558400/status/2103676447324045785) - Amp, 2026-09-25, @AmpCode (X): “@codermatt @sqs @ampcode a one click “put these changes on a bigger orb” would do the trick. i’ve bumped my default up to medium because every project i have kills the small!” [source](https://twitter.com/9111552/status/2103370105505943560) ### 9.

Broader repository support in cloud sessions - Claude Code, 2026-09-16, r/ClaudeCode (Reddit): “as of this week, we can't access remote controlled claude code on the web version if the organization doesn't have github access setup ("github access is required for claude code on the web. please contact an organization owner."). it makes no sense and the remote controlled claude code sessions are still accessible on the android app as expected.” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeCode/comments/1whufx7/please_roll_back_gating_claude_code_web_behind/) - OpenAI Codex, 2026-09-14, X search: OpenAI Codex, Codex CLI, Codex app (X): “@thsottiaux @mark_k @chatgpt @openai codex cloud need more nerwork capability. also we need to choose two repos. also we need to see cloud on app.” [source](https://twitter.com/1720395882430922755/status/2099477400182571477) - Cursor, 2026-09-11, @cursor_ai (X): “why don't cursor cloud agents support the “origin” repository? i can't start a new session with “origin” in the mobile app; i have to connect to github instead. @cursor_ai @elonmusk” [source](https://twitter.com/2297570975/status/2098372298738630836) ### 11.
