Ask HN: What is the best microVMs for AI agents?

8 points by zfoong ago | 2 comments
Three weeks ago, we just launched an open-source computer-use agent: https://github.com/zfoong/WhiteCollarAgent

However, we are currently looking for self-hosted and easy-to-set-up microVM solutions for the agent's GUI mode. The idea is to let agents operate in an isolated environment for its GUI operation, like web-browsing, launching an app, and using the app, etc.

Anyone with any experience with microVM, feel free to let me know in the comments. Many thanks!

Have you tried amazon firecracker?

Why a VM as opposed to just a container?

Containers are more flexible, especially in cloud environments. You can run containers on a cloud VM, or in a managed cloud cluster. Micro VMs can’t typically be used that way.

(I work at a SaaS that relies heavily on this model.)
