Delta adds Cloud Runners for agents
Delta adds Cloud Runners, moving agent turns into Zed-hosted Linux sandboxes so threads keep working while your computer sleeps. Developers can check progress and send turns from desktop, web, or mobile; the feature is currently in private beta. [Official documentation](https://delta.dev/docs/agents/cloud-runners)
This is Delta’s most practical feature yet: it turns agent coding from an attended desktop loop into asynchronous work. The catch is that “cloud” means a managed sandbox with setup and credential boundaries, not a clone of your laptop.
- –Threads, worktrees, and agent context sync through Delta’s servers.
- –Runners support connected model providers, remote MCP servers, GitHub access, and shareable development previews.
- –Local-only files, services, ignored files, and credentials are unavailable unless explicitly configured.
- –Cloud Runners are ephemeral, pause after inactivity, and currently have fair-use limits.
- –The feature targets developers who want agents to keep implementing, testing, or reviewing while they switch devices.
