How to Safely Run AI-Generated Code with SmolVM (Open-Source MicroVM Sandbox)

Your AI agent just wrote some Python. Do you feel good about running it on your laptop? If the answer is "not really" - you're not alone. Every team building agents eventually hits the same wall: LLM-generated code is the new untrusted input, and most of the tooling we reach for (Docker, subprocess, exec ) wasn't built for it. We built SmolVM to fix this. It's an open-source, Firecracker-backed microVM sandbox that gives AI agents their own disposable computer - boots in under a second, isolated at the hardware level, and disappears when the agent is done.
