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)…

#22I 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…
E2B is fully open-source under Apache 2.0 and runs on GCP, AWS, Azure (preview) and locally on any Linux box that has /dev/kvm (Mac works via Colima, too).

#27It's always, firecracker all the way down! Enjoyed the breakdown, honestly most of the things weren't really surprising. What was surprising to me was that instinct was just "agent slapped on top of markdown files in git", especially after seeing people talk about it so much. I expected at least a database or a graph or something "smart", but alas, its just three markdowns in a trenchcoat.
in guessing the most important thing to get right for their target usecase is the computer use and from the tools i saw for that the computers they provision were requestable by the subagents so probably something cool going on there
