    i’d say what AWS released looks closer to a bare compute primitive. E2B is up the stack and ships everything around VM like snapshots, networking, integrations. also, there’s no lo…

    the code is not public, so we can't know. i think it's much more nuanced and certain users' comments might get a preferential treatment, based on factors other than the upvote coun…

    of course your comment attracts more upvotes - it's at the top.

    i don't doubt this. i just find it questionable that one particular poster always gets in the spotlight when AI is the topic - while other conversations in my opinion offer more in…

    i am curious, why are your comments always pinned to the top?

    We are running Sandboxes for AI Agents using Firecracker microVMS @ E2B

    $1.5M seed bets, maybe. not $60M though

    just from looking at it on Linux it runs Firecracker: https://github.com/jingkaihe/matchlock/blob/main/pkg/vm/linu... on macOS uses the Apple's Virtualization.Framework Go wrapper:…

    very cool, if you want cross-platform microvms, there's an interesting project called libkrun that powers projects like Podman and Colima. here's a Go binding: https://github.com/m…

    i think there’s a confusion around what use-case Monty is solving (i was confused as well). this seems to isolate in a scope of execution like function calls, not entire Python app…

    Comment #46920495

    we’re not disagreeing here - i meant for general use-case VMs are better, for some application-specific calls Monty this might suffice. although you’d still need another boundary t…

    agree. you still need a secure boundary like VM to isolate the tenants in case the model breaks out of the sandbox. everything that you don’t want your agent to access should live …

    best answer is probably to have a layered approach - use this to limit what the generated code can do, wrap it in a secure VM to prevent leaking out to other tenants.

    Comment #46920338

    there’s no way around VMs for secure, untrusted workloads. everything else, like Monty has too many tradeoffs that makes it non-viable for any real workloads disclaimer: i work at …

    Factory, Nvidia, Perplexity and Manus are using E2B in production - we ran more than 200 million Sandboxes for our customers

    for personal use, many ways: Vargant, Docker Sandbox, NixOS VMs, Lima, OrbStack. if you want multi-tenant: E2B (open-source, self-hosted)

    Comment #46877569

    we aren’t worried about that. when we were starting out we figured there was no solution that would satisfy our requirements for running untrusted code. so we had to build our own.…

    we offer secure cloud VMs that scale up to 100k concurrent instances or more. the value we sell with our cloud is scale, while our Sandboxes are a commodity that we have proudly op…
