    Anecdata: I've been running a long-lived claude code session with Opus 4.6 for the last few days. Yesterday, almost right after the Sonnet 5.5 announcement, codex starting asking for permission to run things a lot more often

    The quality of the output/work seems the same, but the speed at which it gets stuff done is a lot slower, because it's asking for permission so much more

    I don't have any numbers/stats, just my impression. However, I imagine that if Anthropic could make the models ask for permission more often, it could be an interesting way to throttle access, without degrading quality of the output

      Running agents in MicroVMs and skipping permissions is the most impactful change I have done in my habits for a while.

      Have a look into Docker sbx for instance.
