agent tui 0.4.2 | local embedded | agent main> explain sshSSH, or Secure Shell, is a protocol for logging in to another computer over a network you do not trust and working on it as if you were at its keyboard.Everything that passes between the two machines (commands, output, files) is encrypted before it leaves and decrypted only on the other end.### 1. What is it used for?- Remote administration: open a shell on a server to install packages, edit configs, or read logs.- File transfer: scp and sftp ride on top of SSH, so copies inherit the same protection.- Port forwarding: wrap a plaintext service, like a database port, inside the tunnel.### 2. Where does the security come from?SSH replaced Telnet, which sent passwords in the clear. It layers three kinds of cryptography:- Key exchange: both sides derive a fresh session key; an observer never sees it.- Symmetric encryption: that key encrypts the traffic, fast enough for interactive use.- Integrity checks: every packet carries a MAC, so tampering is detected and the connection drops.### 3. Keys instead of passwordsPut your public key on the server in authorized_keys. Your private key never leaves your machine, so there is no password to phish, and access is revoked by deleting one line.### 4. A minimal config```# ~/.ssh/configHost prod HostName 203.0.113.7 User admin IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_ed25519 ForwardAgent no```Then ssh prod connects. On the first connection SSH shows the host fingerprint and asks whether to trust it.### 5. Summary| Concern | Mechanism ||-----------|---------------------------|| Identity | Host key fingerprint || Login | Public and private key || Privacy | Per-session symmetric key || Integrity | Per-packet MAC |

Providers: Artificial Analysis, P50 over the past 72 hours, October 16, 2026. BLACKBOX AI: best verified result from our agent run on one B200, measured on the same methodology by a fixed harness.
Deploy GPUs at scale, encrypted out of the box.
Rent through Blackbox and each machine comes with access controls, spend limits and an audit trail that bare metal and other GPU clouds leave to you.
- ONE VERIFIED SIGN-IN
- Your team signs in once for every cloud, with a verified email.
- SCOPED API KEYS
- Each script gets its own key. Revoke it and it stops on the next request.
- SPEND LIMITS
- Caps on machines, hourly spend and launches are checked before any provider is called.
- SSH KEY CHECKS
- Weak keys and pasted private keys are rejected. We store fingerprints only.
- ONE AUDIT LOG
- Launches, terminations, refusals and key changes from every cloud, in one record.
- NO PROVIDER KEYS
- Your team never holds a cloud provider credential, so there is none to leak.

Recursive improvement, run by agents and our engineers.
A forward-deployed engineer sets up Blackbox inside your environment and points our agents at your workload. The agents tune the engine on your live traffic, and every improvement becomes the baseline for the next cycle.
YOUR ENGINEER DEPLOYS
A private endpoint, an air-gapped instance or GPUs you own, set up with your team.
AGENTS PROPOSE
Agents try changes to the engine against the shape of your real traffic.
THE HARNESS DECIDES
A fixed harness scores every change. Only a change that beats the current best is kept.
THE BEST IS THE NEW BASELINE
Changes that hold up across workloads become engine defaults for every deployment.
Single-stream tokens/sec. Each step up is a change the harness kept.

The job ends. The improvement doesn't.
Other platforms run training as one scheduled job on the dataset you upload. On Blackbox, agents keep working from your data and evaluations, and your engineers steer them.
Teach the model what good work looks like.
Agents fine-tune an open-weight model on examples of the answers your team expects, then keep optimizing it between runs.
- FROM YOUR EXAMPLES
- Training starts from examples of good answers, drawn from your own data.
- TESTED ON NEW CASES
- The tuned model is tested on cases it has not seen before it is deployed.
- YOUR ENGINEERS DIRECT
- Engineers set the goals and review the results. Agents do the optimizing.
Round after round, kept only if better.
Agents start a new round of post-training as soon as the last one is scored, so the model keeps improving after the first job ends.
- SCORED ON YOUR EVALUATIONS
- Every round is measured against the evaluations your team defines.
- KEPT ONLY IF BETTER
- A new checkpoint replaces the current model only when it scores higher.
- YOUR TEAM STEERS
- Engineers set the preferences and policies the agents work toward.
Reward the outcomes your work needs.
Agents run rollouts continuously against the environment and reward you define, and every round of rewards updates the policy.
- CONTINUOUS ROLLOUTS
- Agents run the policy through your environment again and again, not once on a schedule.
- REWARD YOU DEFINE
- You decide what a good outcome is, and every rollout is scored against it.
- ENGINEERS STEER EVERY RUN
- Your engineers adjust the environment and the reward as the runs go.
