1. Timeouts : What is the maximum allowed time for code execution, and how does the system handle interruptions if the code takes too long to execute? 2. **Network Access**: Can you elaborate on the extent of network access limitations? Specifically, what are the restrictions on downloading packages or accessing external APIs? 3. **System Commands**: Which system commands are restricted? For example, can you confirm if commands like `source` to activate a virtual environment are unsupported? 4. **Resource Constraints**: What are the specific computational resource limitations, such as CPU and memory restrictions, for running code? 5. **Security Restrictions**: What security measures are in place to prevent the execution of potentially harmful commands? Could you provide examples of restricted commands or actions?

Hi @digital marsh. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

Based on the provided knowledge sources, here's what I can share about ChatGPT's code interpreter:

Timeouts: The knowledge sources do not provide specific information about the maximum allowed time for code execution or how the system handles interruptions if the code takes too long to execute.
Network Access: The ChatGPT code execution environment is unable to generate outbound network requests directly. This means it cannot download packages or access external APIs. The environment is pre-loaded with hundreds of Python libraries, and ChatGPT knows how to write code to import and use these libraries (source (https://help.openai.com/en/articles/8437071-data-analysis-with-chatgpt#h_c840590525)).
System Commands: The knowledge sources do not provide specific information about which system commands are restricted or whether commands like source to activate a virtual environment are unsupported.
Resource Constraints: The knowledge sources do not provide specific information about the computational resource limitations, such as CPU and memory restrictions, for running code.
Security Restrictions: The code execution environment is isolated from the rest of the ChatGPT hosting platform, which ensures the safety of the feature. When ChatGPT analyzes data for the first time during a conversation, a new instance of the code execution environment is generated. This instance is only accessible from within the associated conversation, and is destroyed within 13 hours of the conversation becoming inactive (source (https://help.openai.com/en/articles/8437071-data-analysis-with-chatgpt#h_c840590525)). The knowledge sources do not provide specific examples of restricted commands or actions.
