- Uses Claude Sonnet 3.7 and Nova Premier models for high-quality code generation
- Intelligent fallback system ensures reliability
- Context-aware code suggestions and improvements

### ⚡ **Secure Code Execution**
- Execute Python code in AWS-managed sandboxed environments
- Real-time output streaming and error handling
- Support for interactive code requiring user input
- Session persistence across multiple executions

### 🌐 **Modern Web Interface**
- Clean, intuitive React-based user interface
- Monaco editor with syntax highlighting and IntelliSense
- Tabbed interface for code generation, editing, and results
- File upload support for existing Python scripts

### 📊 **Session Management**
