macbook pro m4 bought last year. worked on so many codes and projects. never hot after closing lid. installed electron claude. closed lid and went to sleep and woke up to macbook that has been hot all night. uninstall claude. problem went away. i kept telling myself this BUT NEVER ELECTRON AGAIN.
Might be virtualization woes or something adjacent.
Hi, Felix from Anthropic here. I work on Claude Cowork and Claude Code. Claude Cowork uses the Claude Code agent harness running inside a Linux VM (with additional sandboxing, network controls, and filesystem mounts). We run that through Apple's virtualization framework or Microsoft's Host Compute System. This buys us three things we like a lot: (1) A computer for Claude to write software in, because so many user pro…
This is the most interesting requirement.
So all the sandbox solutions that were recently developed all over GitHub, fell short of your expectations?
This is half surprising since many people were using AI to solve the sandboxing issue have claimed to have done so over several months and the best we have is Apple containers.
What were the few reasons? Surely there has to be some strict requirement for that everyone else is missing.
But still having a 10 GB claude.vmbundle doesn't make any sense.

Sorry for the ask here, but unaware of other avenues of support as the tickets on the Claude Code repo keep getting closed, as it is not a CC issue.

Earlier quoted context omitted.
The system data issue on macOS is awful. I use my MacBook for a mix of dev work and music production and between docker, music libraries, update caches and the like it’s not weird for me to have to go for a fresh install once every year or two. Once that gets filled up, it’s pretty much impossible to understand where the giant block of memory is.
I simply run GrandPerspective (GUI app, https://grandperspectiv.sourceforge.net/ ), or dust (terminal app, https://github.com/bootandy/dust ), to give me an idea of what is going on with disk usage.

I tried to use it right after launch from within Claude Desktop, on a Mac VM running within UTM, and got cryptoc messages about Apple virtualization framework. That made me realize it wants to also run a Apple virtualization VM but can’t since it’s inside one already - imo the error messaging here could be better, or considering that it already is in a VM, it could perhaps bypass the vm altogether. Because right now…
Does UTM/Apple's framework not allow nested virtualization? If I remember correctly from x86(_64) times, this is a thing that sometimes needs to be manually enabled.
1. Yes, but only Linux guests 2. Yes, but only M3+
Arguably, even without LLM, you too should be dev-ing inside a VM... https://developer.hashicorp.com/vagrant is still a thing. The market for Cowork is normals, getting to tap into a executive assistant who can code. Pros are running their consumer "claws" on a separate Mac Mini. Normals aren't going to do that, and offices aren't going to provision two machines to everyone. The VM is an obvious answer for this early…
Yeah, very easy to do today. May VPS providers help with this, checkout: https://exe.dev https://sprites.dev https://shellbox.dev
Some reasons aren't even optional. Small but regulated entities exist, and most "Team" sized businesses aren't in Google apps or "the cloud" as they think about it, but are in M365, and do pay for cyber insurance.
Cowork with skills plugins that leverage Python or bash is a remarkably enabling framework given how straightforward it is. A skill engineer can sit with an individual contributor domain expert, conversationally decompose the expert's toil into skills and subcommands, iterate a few times, and like magic the IC gets hours back a day.
Cowork is Agents-On-Rails™ for LLM apps, like Rails was to PHP for web apps.
The VM makes that anti-fragile.
For any SaaS builders reading this: by far most white collar small business work is in Microsoft Office. The scarce "Continue with Microsoft" OIDC reaches more potential SMB desks than the ubiquitous "Continue with Google" and you don't have to learn the legacy SAML dance.
Anthropic seems to understand this. It's refreshing when a firm discovers how to cater to the 25–150 seat market. There's an uncanny valley between early adopters and enterprise contracts, but the world runs on SMBs.
Sign them all up!

It would be really nice to have an option to not do this since a ton of companies deny VMs in their group policies.
