How is this different from running Claude Code on my laptop?

It provides isolated cloud sandboxes with your repos and tools pre-installed, eliminating local environment conflicts. It also adds governance features like budget limits, permission scopes, and full audit logging of every agent action.

Do you retain my source code?

No. Your code lives only in the ephemeral session sandbox and is deleted with it. We operate on a zero source retention principle.

How much does it cost for organizations?

Pricing is usage-based: tokens at cost (no markup) plus a 10% platform fee, plus CPU ($0.142/vCPU-hour) and memory ($0.024/GB-hour). There are no per-seat or idle charges.

Can I run Ellipsis in my own AWS account?

Yes. There is a BYOC (Bring Your Own Cloud) option where the platform deploys into your AWS VPC. No credentials, code, or LLM calls leave your account. You pay AWS costs directly, plus the 10% platform fee.

How are agent permissions and secrets managed?

Permissions are defined per environment and scoped to specific repositories. Secrets are stored encrypted and injected as environment variables. Credentials are minted per session, scoped to allowed repos, and revoked with the sandbox.

What models and harnesses are supported?

Currently, the supported harnesses are Claude Code (Anthropic) and Codex (OpenAI). You can specify the model version (e.g., claude-opus-4-8) in the YAML configuration for each automation.

Ellipsis

Ellipsis is a platform for managing AI coding agents (like Claude Code and Codex) in isolated cloud environments. Users define agents and their tasks in YAML, which are then run with scoped permissions, budget controls, and full audit trails. The platform handles the infrastructure, dependencies, secrets, and logging, allowing developers to focus on automation. Key capabilities include automated code review, scheduled tasks, interactive development sessions, and background agents triggered by events from GitHub, Slack, or Linear. It provides a REST API and CLI for programmatic control, with observability tools to track every token and action. The service targets development teams building repeatable, agent-powered workflows.

Seminar XXII -- Lecture 5 -- Symptom as Ellipsis

ABOUT LECTURES ON LACAN: Clear and coherent readings of Jacques Lacan’s work are rare. Rarer still are those which make his seminars and writings accessible to non-specialized audiences. Which is why I’ve designed Lectures on Lacan! If you’re looking for close, concise, and widely accessible readings of key texts in Lacanian Psychoanalysis, this is is the channel for you. REGISTER FOR OUR NEXT LECTURE SERIES, SUBSCRIBE TO OUR FREE NEWSLETTER, AND MORE: https://linktr.ee/lecturesonlacan ABOUT PROF. DR. SAMUEL MCCORMICK: Samuel McCormick, Ph.D., is an award-winning teacher and scholar. He lectures widely on Lacanian psychoanalysis, is Professor of Communication Studies at San Francisco State University, and was recently appointed EURIAS & Marie-Curie Research Fellow at Aarhus Institute of Advanced Studies in Denmark.
