FWIW I saw the original posts, knew who wrote them, and know that Cloudflare OS is open source. It's because Sandstorm is about running anyone's apps, while where you introduce it you say this:
the AI cannot introduce a significant security bug
The AI-authored apps aspect is obviously something that Sandstorm didn't have.
But Cloudflare OS also supports a concept of "blueprints", where, once you've built your app, you create a "blueprint" (a copy of the code) and share it with others, from which they can create their own instances of the app. So it is still very much about sharing apps and running other people's apps, and the sandbox makes this safe and compliant even if you're not sure the app developer knows what they're doing.

That suggests running your own apps, which is a different thing.
