AI Daily Report - 2026-09-09

Opening Summary

Today’s AI landscape is defined by a geopolitical earthquake and a quiet revolution in software development tooling. The U.S. government’s formal accusation that Chinese AI companies are conducting “systematic” model distillation campaigns marks a critical inflection point in the AI arms race—elevating what was previously a technical concern into a matter of national security with direct implications for open-source policy, API access, and international tech governance. Simultaneously, the release of Anthropic’s “AI-Native SDLC Playbook” signals that the industry is maturing beyond experimental AI coding assistants toward structured, enterprise-grade engineering workflows. On the product front, a wave of agent-centric tools—from Routi Bot’s desktop-controlling AI agents to Kopai’s agent marketplace—demonstrates that the industry is aggressively building the distribution and infrastructure layers for autonomous AI. The convergence of these stories reveals a bifurcated industry: one track racing to secure and control frontier models, another racing to democratize and productize them.

🔥 Top Stories

1. U.S. Government Accuses Chinese AI Firms of Systematic Model Distillation Campaigns

Source: CyberScoop / U.S. Department of Defense | Context: Escalating U.S.-China AI tensions now include formal federal accusations of intellectual property theft via model distillation.

What Happened:

On September 8, 2026, the U.S. Department of Defense released a Cybersecurity Advisory (CSA) titled “China-Based AI Companies Malicious Distillation Against U.S. AI Companies”—a document that fundamentally reframes the conversation around AI model copying. The advisory, reported by CyberScoop, alleges that Chinese AI companies have been conducting “systematic” distillation campaigns designed to extract the capabilities of leading U.S. frontier models, including those from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google DeepMind.

Model distillation, in this context, is not a simple copy-paste operation. It involves using a “teacher” model (in this case, a U.S. frontier model accessed via API or potentially through compromised infrastructure) to generate massive datasets of high-quality outputs. These outputs are then used to fine-tune a smaller, “student” model. The result is a Chinese model that mimics the reasoning capabilities and knowledge of the U.S. model at a fraction of the development cost. The advisory specifically notes that this technique allows Chinese firms to “compress months of reinforcement learning and alignment research into weeks,” effectively leapfrogging the most expensive and time-consuming parts of model development.

The DoD advisory does not name specific companies but describes a coordinated, multi-entity effort that includes state-supported research institutes. This is a notable shift from previous accusations of general IP theft in the AI space, which often focused on data scraping or alleged code theft. Distillation is a more insidious and technically sophisticated threat because it is difficult to prove and even harder to defend against. The advisory recommends that U.S. AI companies implement stricter API rate limiting, monitor for anomalous usage patterns (such as extremely high-volume requests with low variance in prompt types), and watermark model outputs to trace unauthorized distillation.

Why It Matters (💡 Analysis):

This advisory has three immediate and profound implications. First, it validates a long-held suspicion in the AI security community: that the billions of dollars spent on frontier model training (OpenAI’s GPT-5-class models are estimated to cost over $500 million in compute alone) could be effectively “stolen” for a fraction of that cost via API access. If a Chinese company can distill GPT-5-class reasoning into a model for $10 million in API costs, the economic moat of U.S. AI leaders is drastically reduced.

Second, this will likely accelerate the trend toward more restrictive model access. We are already seeing frontier labs move away from broad API availability toward more curated, enterprise-focused access. This advisory gives legal and political cover for even stricter controls, potentially including government-mandated export controls on API access—a move that would be unprecedented and deeply controversial.

Third, the timing is critical. This advisory comes amidst an ongoing U.S. review of open-source AI model policies. The argument that “open weights enable distillation” is now backed by official government security analysis, which could tip the scale toward regulation of open-source releases. For the open-source community, this is an existential threat.

My Take (🎯 Personal Analysis):

This advisory is a watershed moment, but we need to be precise about what it does and doesn’t prove. Distillation is a real and documented technique, but proving malicious intent versus legitimate research use is extraordinarily difficult. The DoD’s framing of “systematic” campaigns suggests they have signals intelligence or intercepted communications that go beyond just observing API traffic patterns.

The deeper issue here is that distillation is a fundamental property of how AI development works. You cannot build a frontier model ecosystem and simultaneously prevent all knowledge transfer. The U.S. is essentially trying to prevent the natural diffusion of technical capability that has occurred with every previous general-purpose technology.

For U.S. AI companies, the actionable advice is clear: diversify your security architecture. Assume your frontier models will be distilled. The real competitive advantage must shift to proprietary data pipelines, real-time world knowledge integration, and superior agentic tool-use capabilities—things that are much harder to distill because they depend on continuous interaction with proprietary systems. If you’re building on top of frontier APIs, assume your application layer is transparent to competitors and build defensibility elsewhere.

2. Anthropic Releases “The AI-Native SDLC Playbook”

Source: Claude.com Blog | Context: The software development lifecycle is being fundamentally rewritten by AI; Anthropic provides a codified playbook for the new paradigm.

What Happened:

Anthropic has published “The AI-Native SDLC Playbook” on its Claude blog, a comprehensive guide that codifies best practices for integrating AI assistants throughout the entire software development lifecycle (SDLC). This is not a marketing fluff piece; it is a detailed technical and organizational manual based on Anthropic’s internal experience building Claude and deploying it across their own engineering organization.

The playbook addresses a critical gap in the AI coding space. While tools like GitHub Copilot and Cursor have demonstrated impressive code completion and generation capabilities, the industry has struggled to integrate these tools into structured workflows. The playbook argues that the traditional SDLC—requirements gathering, design, implementation, testing, deployment, and maintenance—must be re-architected when AI is a first-class participant in the process.

Key recommendations include: moving from “prompt engineering” to “spec engineering,” where natural language requirements are rigorously structured to be machine-parseable; implementing automated AI-driven code review as a mandatory gate in the CI/CD pipeline; and establishing “human-in-the-loop” checkpoints specifically designed to catch AI hallucination and logic errors. The playbook also introduces the concept of “AI observability,” which involves tracking not just application performance but also the quality and consistency of AI-generated code contributions over time.

Perhaps most significantly, the playbook addresses organizational structure. It recommends creating dedicated “AI Platform Engineering” teams responsible for maintaining model access, prompt templates, and evaluation harnesses, rather than leaving these responsibilities to individual developers. This professionalization of AI usage in software development signals that we are moving from the “garage hack” phase of AI coding to an industrial phase.

Why It Matters (💡 Analysis):

This playbook is significant for several reasons. First, it represents the first time a frontier AI lab has publicly shared its internal engineering practices for AI-native development in such detail. This is the equivalent of Google publishing its Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) book in 2016—a document that fundamentally changed how the industry approached operations.

Second, it acknowledges a hard truth: AI coding tools are currently productivity boosters, not autonomous developers. The playbook’s emphasis on rigorous human oversight and specialized review processes is a tacit admission that we are years away from fully autonomous software development. This is a sober counterpoint to the hype around “vibe coding” and fully automated development agents.

Third, for engineering leaders, this playbook provides a practical framework for measuring the ROI of AI coding tools. By codifying evaluation harnesses and observability standards, Anthropic is giving CTOs the tools they need to justify AI infrastructure investments to their boards with actual data rather than anecdotal evidence of “it feels faster.”

My Take (🎯 Personal Analysis):

The most valuable part of this playbook is its treatment of the “spec” layer. Traditional prompt engineering treats AI as a clever autocomplete on steroids. The AI-native SDLC treats AI as a junior engineer who needs extremely precise instructions. Anthropic’s insight is that the bottleneck in AI-assisted development is not model capability—it’s the quality of the human-generated specifications.

This has profound implications for how we train software engineers. The ability to write clear, unambiguous, machine-executable specifications will become as important as the ability to write code. Universities and bootcamps that are still focused on teaching syntax and algorithms are going to produce graduates who are ill-prepared for this new paradigm.

For organizations adopting these practices, the recommendation is to start with a pilot team, instrument everything, and treat the AI integration as a continuous improvement process rather than a one-time tool rollout. The organizations that will win in this new era are not those with the best models, but those with the best processes for directing and validating AI work.

3. Show HN: Routi Bot – AI Agents with Their Own Desktops on macOS

Source: Hacker News (narralabs/routi on GitHub) | Context: The agentic AI trend moves from cloud-based text interfaces to local, GUI-interactive agents.

What Happened:

A new open-source project called Routi Bot has captured the Hacker News community’s attention with an ambitious premise: AI agents that have their own virtual desktops on your Mac. The project, released by developer narralabs on GitHub, allows users to spawn AI agents that can independently interact with macOS GUI applications—clicking buttons, typing in text fields, navigating menus, and reading screen content—essentially giving them the same interface access as a human user.

The technical architecture is notable. Routi Bot leverages macOS’s Accessibility API combined with computer vision models to interpret screen state. The agents are built on a plugin architecture that supports multiple backends, including local models via Ollama and cloud models via API. Each agent runs in a separate virtual desktop space (using macOS Spaces), which prevents them from interfering with the user’s active work. This is a clever solution to the “agent chaos” problem—multiple autonomous agents operating simultaneously on the same machine.

The GitHub repository shows a Python-based codebase with a clear modular design. The core abstraction is a “DesktopAgent” class that wraps screen capture, input simulation, and model inference. The project supports task delegation, allowing users to give an agent a high-level goal (“organize my Downloads folder by file type”) and let the agent figure out the specific GUI interactions required.

The project is early-stage—the README explicitly states it’s a proof-of-concept—but it has struck a nerve. The Hacker News discussion is dominated by excitement about the potential for local, GUI-native AI automation, alongside predictable concerns about security and the risk of AI agents making destructive mistakes on a user’s actual machine.

Why It Matters (💡 Analysis):

Routi Bot is part of a significant trend: the migration of AI agents from text-based APIs to GUI-native interaction. The current wave of AI agents (like AutoGPT or various coding agents) primarily operate in terminal or API environments where they can send text commands. But the vast majority of enterprise software—from legacy ERP systems to specialized design tools—does not have robust APIs. GUI automation is the universal interface, and Routi Bot is exploring how to give AI agents access to that interface.

The technical approach is also noteworthy. Combining computer vision (to see the screen) with accessibility APIs (to interact with UI elements) is the same dual-track approach used by advanced RPA (Robotic Process Automation) tools like UiPath. But Routi Bot is doing this with modern AI models that can reason about the screen state and adapt to unexpected situations, rather than following rigid scripted workflows.

The local-first architecture is a differentiator. Most agentic frameworks are cloud-centric, requiring constant API calls to remote models. Routi Bot’s support for local models via Ollama means agents can operate with privacy and without latency, which is crucial for interactive GUI tasks where a 2-second delay between “seeing” the screen and “clicking” a button would make the agent uselessly slow.

My Take (🎯 Personal Analysis):

Routi Bot is a fascinating proof-of-concept, but I’d caution against over-interpreting its immediate capabilities. GUI automation is genuinely hard. The variability of macOS interfaces, the complexity of modern applications, and the risk of catastrophic errors (an agent clicking “Delete” instead of “Move to Trash”) mean that robust GUI-native agents are still a research challenge, not a deployable product.

However, the direction is inevitable. We are moving toward a world where AI agents are not just chatbots that return text, but digital workers that can operate any software a human can. The companies that crack this—whether they are startups like Routi Bot or incumbents like Microsoft with its Copilot ecosystem—will own the next major computing paradigm.

For developers, this project is worth studying for its architectural choices. The separation of “vision” (screen understanding) from “action” (input simulation) is a clean abstraction. The use of macOS Spaces for isolation is a pragmatic solution to a real safety problem. If you’re building agentic systems, borrowing these patterns will save you significant architectural pain.

4. The AI Agent Marketplace Arrives: Kopai, Knockin’, Tables.so, and bonds

Source: Product Hunt | Context: The productization of AI agents accelerates across multiple categories, from marketplaces to vertical solutions.

What Happened:

Today’s Product Hunt top products reveal a maturing AI agent ecosystem. Four products, in particular, demonstrate different strategies for commercializing agentic AI:

Kopai (The Marketplace for AI Agents) is the most ambitious. It aims to be the “App Store for AI agents,” providing a platform where developers can publish, monetize, and distribute autonomous agents. The platform handles the hard infrastructure problems—agent identity, payment processing, usage metering, and sandboxed execution. For enterprise buyers, it promises a curated, vetted marketplace where they can procure agents with clear SLAs and pricing models. The positioning is smart: just as the App Store unlocked the smartphone’s potential by solving distribution, Kopai aims to solve distribution for the emerging agent economy.

Knockin’ takes a different approach, focusing on vertical integration. While details are sparse, the product appears to target the sales and marketing automation space, with AI agents that can autonomously manage outreach campaigns. The “knockin’” metaphor suggests agents that handle the initial contact and follow-up sequences that currently consume sales teams’ time.

Tables.so is betting on the spreadsheet as the killer interface for AI agents. The product integrates AI agents directly into a spreadsheet environment, allowing users to build agentic workflows using familiar grid-based interfaces. This is a clever play on the “invisible interface” strategy—rather than forcing users to learn new agent orchestration tools, it embeds agent capabilities into the most widely used data tool in the world.

bonds appears to be an AI agent for relationship management and CRM automation, though specific details are limited. The Product Hunt listing suggests a focus on using AI to maintain and strengthen professional relationships through automated, personalized communication.

Why It Matters (💡 Analysis):

The diversity of these products is more significant than any single one. We are seeing the early stages of agent commercialization following the classic S-curve of technology adoption. First, you build the raw capability (frontier models). Second, you build tools for developers (agent frameworks). Third, you build distribution and marketplaces (Kopai). Fourth, you build vertical solutions for non-technical users (Knockin’, Tables.so, bonds).

The emergence of Kopai is particularly notable because marketplaces are the canonical sign that a technology is moving from early adopter to early majority. The existence of a marketplace implies standardization—that agents can be packaged, versioned, and evaluated like software. This standardization is a prerequisite for enterprise adoption, where procurement departments need to understand what they’re buying.

Tables.so deserves special attention for its strategic positioning. Spreadsheets are the lingua franca of business analysis. By embedding agents into that interface, it dramatically lowers the barrier to agent adoption. Business analysts who have never written code can now build agentic workflows to automate data processing, report generation, and analysis tasks. This is the “democratization of agents” play, and it has the potential to be enormously disruptive.

My Take (🎯 Personal Analysis):

We are witnessing the “Cambrian explosion” of agent applications, but I’d urge caution. The fundamental challenges of agent reliability and safety are not solved. A marketplace can distribute agents, but it cannot guarantee they will behave correctly in unpredictable real-world environments.

The winners in this space will be those who focus on narrow, well-defined tasks where agent performance can be measured and guaranteed. The “general purpose agent that does everything” is a research project; the “agent that handles my invoice processing with 99.9% accuracy” is a product.

For enterprises, the strategic advice is to experiment aggressively but in constrained domains. Build the internal infrastructure to evaluate agents rigorously before deploying them in production. The tools being launched today are the equivalent of the early iPhone apps—some will become category-defining platforms, but most will be forgotten. The key is to build the organizational capability to adopt agents quickly as the technology matures, without betting your core operations on today’s immature tools.

5. U.S. Accuses China of Systematic AI Model Distillation: The Technical Reality

Source: Hacker News / DoD Advisory | Context: Deep dive into the technical mechanisms and implications of the U.S. government’s distillation allegations.

What Happened:

The U.S. Department of Defense advisory on Chinese AI distillation campaigns provides unprecedented detail on what it describes as a coordinated effort to reverse-engineer U.S. frontier AI models. The advisory is a technical document that goes beyond general accusations, describing specific attack vectors and recommending concrete defensive measures.

According to the advisory, the distillation campaigns operate on multiple fronts. The primary vector is API-based distillation, where Chinese entities subscribe to U.S. AI services (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google) and systematically query them with carefully designed prompts to elicit responses that reveal the model’s underlying reasoning patterns. These responses are then used to create fine-tuning datasets. The advisory notes that a single distilled model may require between 10 million and 100 million API calls, representing a significant but not prohibitive cost—estimated at $5 million to $50 million depending on the model tier accessed.

The advisory also describes a more sophisticated technique: “chain-of-thought extraction.” By prompting models to “show your work” and then analyzing the step-by-step reasoning traces, attackers can distill not just the model’s outputs but its internal problem-solving strategies. This is particularly valuable for mathematical reasoning, code generation, and complex planning tasks where the reasoning process is as valuable as the final answer.

The defense recommendations are equally technical. The advisory suggests implementing “distillation-resistant” API designs, including: probabilistic response sampling (returning slightly different responses to identical prompts to prevent consistent dataset collection), behavioral watermarking (embedding subtle, detectable patterns in model outputs), and anomaly detection systems that flag API usage patterns consistent with distillation campaigns (high request volumes, low semantic diversity, rapid-fire sequential queries).

Why It Matters (💡 Analysis):

This advisory reveals that the U.S. government considers AI model distillation to be a critical national security threat, on par with traditional intellectual property theft. The technical detail suggests that U.S. intelligence agencies have been tracking these campaigns for some time and have developed sophisticated attribution capabilities.

The implications for the AI industry are profound. If the U.S. government begins enforcing restrictions on API access based on this advisory, it could fragment the global AI market. Chinese companies would lose access to U.S. frontier models, accelerating their push for self-sufficiency. Meanwhile, non-Chinese international companies might face increased scrutiny, potentially limiting their access to U.S. models.

The advisory also raises uncomfortable questions about the nature of AI development. If distillation is considered theft, what about legitimate fine-tuning? The line between “learning from a model’s outputs” and “stealing its capabilities” is technically blurry. This ambiguity could lead to an overcorrection, where legitimate research and development is stifled in the name of security.

My Take (🎯 Personal Analysis):

The technical recommendations in this advisory are revealing. The suggestion to implement “probabilistic response sampling” is essentially an admission that deterministic model outputs are a security vulnerability. This could lead to a fundamental redesign of how AI models are served, prioritizing security over output consistency.

But I’d argue that the cat is already out of the bag. The knowledge and techniques required to build frontier models are increasingly well-understood. Distillation is just one vector; there are others—including hiring researchers who have worked on U.S. models and simply reading the academic literature. The U.S. cannot prevent the diffusion of AI knowledge through defensive measures alone.

The real solution is offensive: the U.S. must maintain its lead by innovating faster than China can copy. This means sustained investment in fundamental AI research, compute infrastructure, and—critically—the ecosystem of applications and data that make models useful. A model is only as valuable as its deployment ecosystem, and that ecosystem is much harder to distill than the model itself.

6. The AI-Native SDLC: A Blueprint for the Post-Copilot Era

Source: Claude.com Blog | Context: Analysis of Anthropic’s engineering playbook and its implications for the software industry.

What Happened:

Anthropic’s “AI-Native SDLC Playbook” is the most comprehensive public statement yet on how a frontier AI lab organizes its engineering around AI assistance. The document, running to several thousand words, provides both philosophical framing and practical guidance.

The playbook’s core argument is that AI is not a tool to be added to the existing SDLC, but a force that requires rethinking the SDLC from first principles. Anthropic identifies five key phases where AI fundamentally changes the engineering process:

  1. Requirements & Spec: The playbook advocates for “spec-first” development, where AI models generate comprehensive technical specifications from high-level product requirements. These specs are then reviewed and refined by human engineers before any code is written. This inverts the traditional flow where specification is often an afterthought to implementation.

  2. Design & Architecture: AI is used to generate multiple architectural approaches, complete with trade-off analyses. The playbook recommends using AI for “architecture exploration” but mandates human approval for any design that touches production systems.

  3. Implementation: This is the most mature area. Anthropic reports that Claude generates between 40-60% of new code in their codebase, but emphasizes that the remaining 40-60% requires deep human judgment. The playbook cautions against “AI slop”—code that works in isolation but degrades system quality through inconsistent style, unnecessary abstractions, or hidden dependencies.

  4. Testing & QA: AI is used to generate test cases, identify edge cases, and even write entire test suites. However, the playbook emphasizes that “AI-generated tests are not a substitute for human-designed tests” because they tend to validate the implementation rather than the requirements.

  5. Maintenance & Evolution: The playbook introduces the concept of “AI-native maintenance,” where AI continuously analyzes production code for potential issues, suggests refactoring opportunities, and even proposes feature improvements based on usage patterns.

Why It Matters (💡 Analysis):

Anthropic is not just sharing best practices; they are setting industry standards. By publishing this playbook, they are positioning Claude as the AI tool of choice for organizations adopting these practices. The playbook implicitly argues that AI-native development requires the kind of deep model integration that Anthropic can provide.

The timing is also strategic. As enterprises move from experimental AI adoption to production deployment, they are hungry for guidance on how to structure their engineering organizations. Anthropic is filling this void with a comprehensive, authoritative framework. This is a classic “land grab” play—define the standard, and you own the market.

The playbook’s emphasis on rigor and human oversight is also a deliberate counter-narrative to the “AI replaces developers” hype. Anthropic is signaling to enterprises that AI will make their engineering teams more productive, not obsolete. This is a reassuring message designed to reduce resistance to AI adoption.

My Take (🎯 Personal Analysis):

The most insightful part of the playbook is its treatment of evaluation. Anthropic recommends that organizations build custom evaluation harnesses that measure not just whether AI-generated code passes tests, but whether it meets broader quality criteria: maintainability, security, performance, and alignment with architectural patterns. This is the missing piece in most AI adoption strategies.

Organizations that adopt a “trust but verify” approach to AI-generated code will build compounding advantages in code quality and developer productivity. Those that either trust AI blindly or refuse to use it at all will fall behind.

The playbook also has implications for how we train software engineers. The skills that matter are shifting from syntax memorization and algorithm implementation to specification writing, code review, and system design. Engineering education needs to adapt or risk producing graduates with obsolete skills.

📊 Market & Trends

Several clear trends emerge from today’s news:

1. The Security-Capability Tension: The U.S. government’s distillation advisory highlights a fundamental tension in the AI industry. Frontier labs need broad API access to generate revenue and gather usage data, but that same access enables distillation attacks. Expect to see increased friction in API access, possibly including geographic restrictions and more aggressive usage monitoring.

2. The Agent Commercialization Wave: The Product Hunt launches (Kopai, Knockin’, Tables.so, bonds) signal that AI agents are moving from research projects to commercial products. The emergence of marketplaces and vertical solutions suggests that the infrastructure for agent deployment is maturing faster than expected.

3. The Professionalization of AI Development: Anthropic’s playbook, combined with the broader industry trend toward structured AI adoption, indicates that we are moving from the experimental phase of AI in software development to an industrial phase. Expect to see more standards, best practices, and certification programs emerge.

4. The Local AI Resurgence: Routi Bot’s support for local models via Ollama reflects a broader trend toward local, private AI processing. As cloud API costs rise and security concerns mount, expect more tools to offer local inference options.

5. The Geopolitical AI Divide: The distillation advisory, combined with previous export controls on AI chips, points to a deepening technological divide between the U.S./allies and China. This will accelerate the development of parallel AI ecosystems with different models, tools, and standards.

🔮 Looking Ahead

Predictions for the Coming Weeks:

  1. API Access Restrictions: Expect at least one major U.S. AI lab to announce new geographic restrictions or enhanced API monitoring within the next 30 days in response to the DoD advisory.

  2. Agent Marketplace Consolidation: Kopai will face competition from at least one major tech company (likely Microsoft or AWS) announcing a similar agent marketplace within the next quarter.

  3. Enterprise AI Policy Adoption: The Anthropic playbook will become the de facto standard for enterprise AI adoption, with consultancies like Accenture and Deloitte building practices around it.

  4. GUI Automation Maturation: Within 6 months, expect to see a commercial product based on Routi Bot’s approach, likely with enterprise-grade security and compliance features.

  5. Open-Source Model Tensions: The distillation advisory will intensify the debate over open-source AI models, with increased pressure from security hawks to restrict open-weight releases.

What to Watch:

💻 Code & Tools Spotlight

Routi Bot (GitHub: narralabs/routi)

The project provides a foundation for building GUI-interactive AI agents on macOS. Here’s a basic example of how to set it up:

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/narralabs/routi.git
cd routi

# Install dependencies (requires Python 3.10+)
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Basic usage: spawn an agent with a task
from routi import DesktopAgent

# Initialize agent with a local model (via Ollama)
agent = DesktopAgent(
    model_backend="ollama",  # or "openai", "anthropic", etc.
    model_name="llama3.2",   # any model available via Ollama
    workspace="desktop-1"    # macOS Space to run the agent in
)

# Assign a high-level task
task = "Open the Downloads folder in Finder and sort by file size"
agent.execute(task)

# Monitor agent progress
for status in agent.status_updates():
    print(f"Agent state: {status.state}, Action: {status.last_action}")

Key API Concepts:

Security Note: The project currently has no sandboxing beyond macOS Spaces. Running agents with full GUI access poses significant security risks. Only use with trusted code and in isolated environments.
