@dylan522p we boxlite started the microvm for persistent agents since day 1

[Dorian Zheng | BoxLite @d0r1anX]

@BoxLiteAI dope

[Dorian Zheng | BoxLite @d0r1anX]

crazy sick. ain’t no sandbox provider i know that outcheaper than rolling open source self-hosted

[BoxLite @BoxLiteAI]

BoxLite is a masterpiece.

Most AI sandbox discussions focus on speed and pricing.

But there’s another question:

Where should your agents actually run?

With BoxLite, developers can embed hardware-isolated microVMs directly into their applications.

> Open source.
> Local-first runtime.
> Built for untrusted code execution.

Not every agent needs another cloud dependency.
