Read Original

The article details a significant upgrade to ChatGPT's code execution feature (formerly Code Interpreter/Advanced Data Analysis). The container now supports running bash commands, executing code in languages like Node.js, Ruby, Go, Java, and C/C++, and installing packages via pip and npm. It also introduces a new 'container.download' tool for fetching files from the web into the sandboxed environment, greatly expanding its utility for technical tasks and data analysis.
