No, Gemini-cli still is on your local machine, when it generates some code based on your prompt, with Coderunner, the code runs inside a container (which is inside a new lightweight VM courtesy Apple and provides VM level isolation), installs libraries requested, executes the generated code inside it and returns the result back to Gemini-cli.

This is also not Gemini-cli specific and you could use the sandbox with any of the popular LLMs or even with your local ones.

What would be the advantage of using your tool over say just using G CLI inside distrobox/toolbox/et al..?
Thanks for explaining
