I'm aware of them! Yep - similar in some ways but headed towards different directions. I am building a virtual machine to simplify/replace container infra. Ex. we run containers in…

wonderful, will try to test this in smol machines as well

maintainer, I would recommend trying out: https://github.com/smol-machines/smolvm It has network filtering + placeholders for secrets. OSS, no logins needed

It's a batteries included alternative to firecracker with a couple of new ideas tossed into the mix i.e. portable like a container (bake into a single file and rehydrate the vm any…

i have a mechanism to package a VM into a .smolmachine file that you can rehydrate into a prepared vm akin to a container image.

I build a OSS lightweight, portable VM for those that don't want lock ins: https://github.com/smol-machines/smolvm

What VM do you run it in? as context, I build a light weight portable vm designed for this purpose, so genuinely curious.

A lightweight ,portable virtual machine that simplifies/replaces need for containers. https://github.com/smol-machines/smolvm

Condolences, I've also met a few Jim's in Chicago and some even in big tech once money, privilege came. some opportunities allow people reveal parts of themselves or things they al…

I like to think it just upped the bar, but good durable expertise will need to rise with it.

Apologies for this. I introduced a breaking change in order to build out the hosted platform & registry of pre-packed machines. I updated the newest smolvm to have a recommendation…

I'm all ears, would love to improve smolvm into the right solution for this.

And we can have the model read and train on it too, completing the loop!

the agentic economy is real and it's coming

it's incredibly repairable. I still use the t480 for modern workloads because I've been able to switch out the battery, the fan, the keyboard with fairly abundant aftermarket parts…

given that i couldn't even use fable without it downgrading to Opus, this is just a straight upgrade for me

I also have a light weight cross platform virtual machine with egress filtering if you're looking for an even more batteries included approach. https://github.com/smol-machines/smo…

Yes, been a lot of heads down technical work since. Hope I can share some interesting things I've worked on and hopefully useful to others

Yep, there are inference stacks where it just does not work without cuda in any meaningful performance

I don't think it's rust

I agree with this, virtual machines are invented to solve the sandboxing/multi-tenant issues. This is why ec2 and the likes all sell you access to virtual machines (dividing up the…

If you back it through smolvm, I can take care of the isolation story for you across windows, macOS https://github.com/smol-machines/smolvm SDKs available https://github.com/smol-m…

smol machines: just in time cloud infrastructure https://www.smolmachines.com I am building it on top of a new primitive called smolvm: a hybrid that combines isolation of VM with …
