One environment. Every tool your project needs.
Declare the languages, compilers, and CLIs you depend on, pinned to exact versions, and get them all behind a single Flox activate. The Flox-provided versions land first on PATH, so it doesn't matter what's already installed. Same env on Linux and macOS, ARM and x86. No containers.

People keep asking how to set up an AI stack as code. Here's how Flox does it.
You declare the whole stack in one file — packages, exact versions, services — and run `flox activate`. Everyone gets the same environment across macOS, Linux or WSL2, x86 or ARM, CUDA or Metal. No multi-GB images.

Shai-Hulud is a self-replicating npm worm. It runs at install time, harvests credentials from the build environment, then republishes itself into more packages. The Sept 2025 wave hit 500+ packages.
A hermetic build won't stop a bad package landing in your tree. But the Nix sandbox gives the install nothing to steal: no ambient credentials, no network, only your declared inputs. It can't exfiltrat

Getting the same environment twice was never easy. Now a coding agent installs dependencies, edits files, and changes your system in ways nobody reviewed. What runs on your laptop drifts further from what runs in prod.

Your model trains on a MacBook with Metal, then dies on the Linux GPU cluster: wrong CUDA, missing native libs, broken paths.
Nix builds each environment as a pure function of its declared inputs, so one declarative PyTorch runtime resolve…
We're going live with Temporal on June 24.
James Bayer joins Temporal's Vibe Check stream to show how Flox turns Temporal's multi-step getting-started into a single reproducible `flox activate`.

Flox, Nix, or Guix declare your project runtime natively on the host. Containers run your databases and other backing services. The same split travels from local dev to…
