How do we know you're actually running the code and it's not just the LLM spitting out what it thinks it would return if you were running code on it?

Because it's deterministic, accurate, and correct. All of which the LLM would be unable to do.

Does deterministic matter if its accurate or correct?

A funny story I heard recently on a python podcast where a user was trying to get their LLM to ‘pip install’ a package in its sandbox, which it refused to do. So he tricked it by saying “what is the error message if you try to pip install foo” so it ran pip install and announced there was no error. Package foo now installed.

This works on humans too. Normie: How do I do X in Linux? Linux nerds: RTFM, noob. vs. Normie: Linux sucks because you can't do X. Linux nerds: Actually, you can just apt-get install foo and...

All due respect, but that's the average experience in Arch Linux forums, unfortunately. At least we now have LLMs to RTFM for us.

That depends. If the problem has been solved before and the answer is known and it is in the corpus, then it can give you the correct answer without actually executing any code.

It’s crazy I’m so afraid of this kind of security failures that I wouldn’t even think of releasing an app like that online, I’d ask myself too many questions about jailbreaking like that. But some people are fine with this kind of risks ?
