What were the annoyances you faced?

Not sure what is the aversion to libc? The code only supports Intel macOS, seemingly because Apple Silicon (arm64) macOS does not support this.

Edera looks very cool! Awesome team too. I read the thesis on arxiv. Do you see any limitations from using Xen instead of KVM? I think that was the biggest surprise for me as I hav…

Hey @clawsyndicate I'd love to learn more about your use case. We are working on a product that would potentially get you the best of both worlds (microVM security and containers/g…

This is a really interesting direction we have been exploring too! Our approach is basically to create a file containing the prompt for each turn within the virtual filesystem. The…

Yep, we got that sorted. Thanks for the suggestion! https://pypi.org/project/amla-sandbox/

True. bubblewrap and similar (Landlock, sandbox-exec on Mac) are solid lightweight options. The main difference is they still expose a syscall interface that you then restrict, vs …

If I had to rank these, in order of least to most secure, it would be container WASM has: - Bounds checked linear memory - No system calls except what you explicitly grant via WASI…

We will take a look! Thanks for sharing. Dynamic linking to run pydantic/numpy/etc. would be huge!

The opus 4.5 confession is great haha. We have found Claude Code + Opus 4.5 + Rust with miri/cargo-deny/cargo-check/cargo-fmt + Python with strict type checking/pedantic lint rules…

Makes total sense. We'll prioritize getting the WASM source out. This is good signal that it matters. Will ping you when it's up!

The ecosystem layer is a hard but very important problem to solve. Right now we define tools in Python on the host side, but I see a clear path to WIT-defined components. The regis…

Thanks Simon! Denobox looks very cool: Deno's permissions model is a natural fit for this. On the licensing: totally fair point. Our intention is to open source the WASM too. The b…

Comment #46827107
Fair points. On containers: yes, running in Docker/Firecracker works. The "one prompt injection and you’re done" framing is hyperbolic for containerized setups. The pitch is more r…

The sandbox doesn’t run models. it runs agent-generated code and constrains tool calls. The model runs wherever you want (OpenAI, Anthropic, local Ollama, whatever).

Comment #46826810
Interesting! What use cases felt too constrained? We've been mostly focused on "agent calls tools with parameters". Curious where you hit flexibility limits. Would love to see your…

Thanks for sharing localsandbox! sqlite-backed VFS for fork and resume workflows is very interesting.

Comment #46826223
Great question. We cheated a bit; we didn't compile the GNU coreutils to wasm. Instead, we have Rust reimplementations of common shell commands. It allows us to focus on the use ca…

Comment #46825980
Thanks for sharing the context! The fork problem is gnarly. Makes sense that full Linux emulation was the path forward for your use case. Agreed on WASI maturity. We're hoping the …

Comment #46825968
Fair point. We get around this by "yielding" back from the Wasm runtime (in a coroutine style) so that the "host" can do network calls or other IO on behalf of the Wasm runtime. Bu…

Comment #46825427
Appreciate your support! We deliberately chose a limited runtime (quickjs + some shell applets). The tool parameter constraint enforcement was more important to us than language co…

Comment #46825376
That's definitely true. Our model assumes tools run outside the sandbox on a trusted host—the sandbox constrains which tools can be called and with what parameters. The reason for …

agentvm looks very cool! They are taking a different approach - full Linux VM emulated in WASM. It's very impressive technically. We differentiate from agentvm by being lightweight…
