Congrats on launching! Booting VMs in milliseconds is certainly important, but it can also be achieved with CloudHypervisor/Firecracker. Where Containers beat VMs is runtime perf. The overhead in case of VMs stems from emulation of IO devices. I believe the overhead will become noticeable for AI agentic use cases. Any plans to address perf issues?

You are right. We leverage libkrun. Libkrun uses virtio-mmio transport for block, vsock and virtio-fs to keep overhead minimal so we basically depend on any perf improvement made upstream.

Firecracker is no different btw and E2B uses that for agentic AI workloads. Anyway, I don't have any major plan except fix some issues with the filesystem rn.
