I took a look inside the VMs that a couple of the agent platforms are using. TLDR is they use firecracker with memory in git. I'm a big fan of the memory in git part it would be cool to see how the git history looks after I use it for a longer period of time. This is my first blog, I'm trying to document things publically as I learn, next I'll look more closely at the providers they are using under the hood (eg. e2b)…

hey, i work at E2B, happy to answer any questions!

I was hoping for a whole catalogue of providers - doesn't amp have their own offering here "Orbs"?

So, the interesting part for me was:

"Who runs the fleet Anthropic, its own E2B, rented, third party"

Like that's the only option, a bespoke platform or a rented SaaS for agent sandboxes.

Disclaimer: I am tooting my own horn here - we built SlicerVM.com (Firecracker + Apple Virtualization framework) so that people don't have to pick between those two options.

Especially when you have your own 1500-7000 USD MacBook right under your fingers.

For remote access, (and this happened by accident one night in January) we built superterm.dev - initially as a tmux manager, then as a way to run and monitor agents. Our team sits with 6-24 long running tasks with dictation available, great mobile experience, and can combine both for secure agents + high amounts of feedback.

If anyone's curious - Superterm has a CE edition - free for unlimited personal use. Slicer has a free trial and then a personal edition is available after that.

i wonder how hard it would be to write a decent classifier for individual comments like this (in practice you can just look at the account history which would make it an easy problem)
