🧪 Running an eval that executes model-generated C on a few thousand prompts? You probably don't want any of that on your laptop. Just shipped hf-sandbox, a Modal-style sandbox API on top of Hugging Face Jobs. Spin up an isolated, ephemeral container, run untrusted code, get the result back. No Docker on your laptop, no infra to manage.
PASD isn’t recent, but still delivers strong results — worth restoring rather than replacing.
Getting it to run again wasn’t a simple dependency issue. It relied on parts of diffusers that no longer exist, while moving to Gradio 6 forced a much newer HF stack — and I couldn’t modify the original source directly.
Recreating the old environment wasn’t practical. So I patched the downloaded code at runtime before import and made it compatible with today’s stack.
That ended up being the only approach that held without forking or freezing everything to outdated versions.
If you’ve used it before (or are curious), feel free to give it another try.
