tom_doerr · x · 2026-08-13
SmolVM is an open-source AI sandbox infrastructure project designed to provide AI agents with secure, isolated, and disposable computer environments.
- Core Features: Enables AI agents to securely browse the web, run code, and perform real tasks.
- High Performance: Each microVM boots in milliseconds, runs any code or software, persists files and state across sessions, and can be destroyed when finished—capable of handling thousands of concurrent instances.
- VMM Support: Offers a unified API wrapping multiple Virtual Machine Monitors (VMMs), currently supporting Firecracker, QEMU, and libkrun.
