// Tips & operations
Run it properly.
Operational guidance from running this in production — what to lock down, what surprises people.
// PERFORMANCE
SECURITY
Open Interpreter EXECUTES CODE; sandbox carefully
// SECURITY
CLI-first
server mode is experimental
// OPERATIONS
Token-heavy
code generation iterations consume tokens fast
// RELIABILITY
Vision needs GPT-4V / Claude
base GPT-4 doesn't see screenshots
// DEPLOYMENT
Config in ~/.config/open-interpreter
LLM keys + profiles
// SCALING
Container-isolated
our deployment uses Python:3.11-slim base, limiting damage
