Description
Agent Compute Engine is a fully managed compute service offered by Google Cloud that creates execution environments specifically for AI agents. Each agent operates within its own hardware-isolated microVM, complete with a dedicated guest kernel and root-level management capabilities. Users can benefit from features such as rapid startup, pausing, checkpointing, creating snapshots, and resuming workflows. Persistent workspaces are available to maintain agent files and context throughout different sessions, and the platform utilizes copy-on-write memory sharing to enable parallel environments derived from shared images. Agents have the capability to execute code, run shell commands, and perform browser actions within secure sandboxes, with carefully regulated access to enterprise data through Google Cloud's networking and identity frameworks. Developers have the flexibility to customize environment images, manage identity protocols, control network access, and oversee the lifecycle of their agents, all while Google takes care of the underlying compute infrastructure. The platform is particularly well-suited for interactive assistants, coding agents, browser-based tasks, and extensive evaluation and reinforcement learning tasks, showcasing its versatility and efficiency in handling a wide range of AI applications. This comprehensive management allows developers to focus on building and optimizing their AI solutions without the burden of infrastructure concerns.
Description
Sprites by Fly.io is a stateful sandbox environment platform designed to run arbitrary code in isolated Linux computers. Each Sprite is a hardware-isolated execution environment that can persist across runs, making it useful for AI agents, uploaded binaries, developer tools, and application workloads. The platform is built around checkpoint and restore, allowing workloads to pause, resume, and keep state instead of rebuilding the environment repeatedly. Sprites provide a fast NVMe filesystem that syncs continuously to durable external object storage. This tiered storage approach gives users compatibility with normal Linux filesystem behavior while only charging for the data they actually use. Developers can start with the Sprites CLI by logging in, creating a Sprite, executing commands, and connecting to the console. The platform also supports REST API access and SDKs for JavaScript, Go, Elixir, and Python. Pricing is usage-based across CPU time, memory time, hot storage, and cold storage. By combining sandbox VMs, persistent filesystems, checkpointing, APIs, network policy, and pay-as-you-go pricing, Sprites gives developers a practical runtime for AI agents and untrusted code execution.
