KERNEL

we build crazy fast, open source infra for agents to access the internet. trusted by @cashapp, @framer, and 3000+ teams.

[KERNEL @usekernel]

Introducing Browser Pools — instant browsers with the logins, cookies, and extensions your agents depend on.

Designed to make using Kernel even faster.

[Rafael Garcia @rfgarcia]

the trick that makes @usekernel fast: we pay the full 5-10s of starting chromium once, snapshot ram to nvme, and resume in ~30ms when a request lands.

from the outside it looks like a giant warm pool. under the hood it's mostly cold disk. wrote up how we got here.

.@stably_ai uses kernel to build an ai-powered end-to-end testing platform.

by switching to kernel, they saw 333x faster cold starts and eliminated infra-caused test flakiness.

"we evaluated many options, and kernel is the only one that could deliver the performance all of our customers' test suites required." - jinjing liang, co-founder & ceo, stably

A little known fact about me is that I once bootstrapped an entire year by winning hackathons. I remember pulling all-nighters (a pre-LLM era), eating lots of pizza, and presenting live demos on-stage.

So it was a surreal experience seeing a room full of developers building with @usekernel for our hackathon hosted with @tzafon_company — we saw healthtech automation, Wispr for CUA, and simulated swarms running hundreds of browsers in parallel (the winner).

The best part was getting to see users with KERNEL up close. There's no better feeling.

Thanks Tzafon for co-hosting this awesome event and congrats to the winners!

New @usekernel office loading (decor WIP)

[KERNEL @usekernel]

if you're building with @e2b, it's now easier than ever to give your agents access to the internet.

[E2B @e2b]

Running a headless browser inside your agent sandbox is the default, but it can be brittle.

Cold starts. CAPTCHAs. Auth state lost on restart. Proxies.

Our new template built with friends @usekernel splits the loop. The agent runtime runs in the e2b sandbox. The browser runs on Kernel, which handles cold start, CAPTCHA, residential proxies, and session persistence across hours. Connect them over CDP.

Three things you can build with it this weekend.
→ Screenshot app endpoints. Deploy a web app in a sandbox, screenshot every route.
→ Agent data extraction. Let an LLM autonomously browse and extract data.
→ Live browser preview. Watch the browser in real time via Kernel's live view.

this is the year of computer use.

so we’re organizing the first computer use hackathon in san francisco with a few friends from @nvidia, @sfcompute, and @tzafon_company.

to learn more about managed auth 2.0, see:

https://t.co/uFoFGpCvYL

[KERNEL @usekernel]

today we’re rolling out managed auth 2.0 — now 8x more reliable in our internal benchmarks.

it's your standard interface for managing auth for all your agents across any site.

2fa/sso/1password and re-auth automagically handled.

[KERNEL @usekernel]

@nemrow let us know what you think!

to learn more about the partnership, see:

[KERNEL @usekernel]

today, we're partnering with cloudflare to broaden our support for web bot auth on KERNEL.

your agents can now cryptographically prove who they are to services like cloudflare and others.
