- Emulation overhead — No hardware acceleration in the WASM component. CPU-intensive workloads may run slower than native.
- No GPU access — CUDA, Metal, and hardware ML accelerators are not yet available. Support may be added in the future with wasi-nn.
- Env vars don’t cross between shell and Python —
sandbox.commands.run("export FOO=bar")is not visible insandbox.code.run(...). Use the filesystem to share data between the two.
