Description

NVIDIA OpenShell serves as an open and secure runtime environment specifically designed for autonomous AI agents, regulating their execution, access rights, and the pathways for inference traffic. Instead of embedding security within the model or application, it maintains safety measures in the surrounding environment, meaning that nothing is allowed by default; permissions are assigned through established policies, and enforcement mechanisms operate outside the agent process to prevent any circumvention via prompts. Each autonomous agent operates within a confined sandbox, which restricts direct network connectivity, limits file access, and implements kernel-level monitoring of system calls to ensure rigorous oversight. Acting as the control plane, a gateway is responsible for user authentication, lifecycle management of sandboxes, and the provision of policies, settings, credentials, and inference configurations to the agents. Additionally, a supervisor operates externally to each sandbox, scrutinizing network requests according to policies at various levels—including binary, destination, method, and path—and only grants access to credentials when explicitly permitted, thus enhancing the overall security framework. This layered architecture ensures that the agents function effectively while maintaining robust security protocols throughout their operations.

Description

Boat delivers robust cloud-based virtual machines and persistent sandboxes specifically designed for managing long-lasting AI agents, empowering users to effortlessly create thousands of cloud instances equipped with web browsers and persistent storage while alleviating the burden of infrastructure management. Each sandbox functions as a comprehensive Ubuntu Linux virtual machine, providing SSH and SCP access, Docker compatibility, dedicated IPv4 or IPv6 addresses, a smooth 60 fps virtual desktop, and rapid disk-level forking capabilities from snapshots. Pre-installed tools such as Docker, VS Code, Chrome, Ghostty, GitHub CLI, Rust, Node.js, and Bun allow users to execute any development language, tool, or workflow seamlessly. Boat is compatible with various agents including Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode, and it offers functionalities to prompt, observe, and manage agent environments remotely via its command-line interface, HTTP API, and SDKs available in both Python and TypeScript. Users can run commands, transfer files, and monitor agent communications, while also hosting applications accessible through public HTTPS links and utilizing integrated desktops and web browsers for enhanced productivity. This comprehensive solution not only simplifies the management of AI agents but also fosters a more efficient development experience for users across diverse projects.
