Incredulous claims and unreviewed paper.

Attention really is all you need.

I think you mean incredible claims. You would be incredulous about them.

You're right, thanks for the correction

Smolvm is free and open source, help me build the integration with proxmox - I'm not familiar with it

I ended up realizing that QEMU already supports microVMs and shipped https://github.com/rcarmo/pve-microvm yesterday. It's working out great for me, even if it's not portable in the same way (I can always do a .qcow dump, I guess)

probably, don't see why not based on cursory glance.

will look into it

Their idea is actually more akin to cloning and a more refined implementation is used in Lambda's snapstart: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/snapstart.html

So directionally yes. But it relies on kvm. I focus on portability i.e. cross platform for local macOS and linux, so that is not top of mind for me right now.

not enough and too much at the same time

uhh sort of different things.

smol machines is a virtual machine that has properties and ergonomics of containers. It's not an ai project, it's designed to run any software inside.

docker sandbox sounds like it's running ai stuff inside of a microvm.

So if you need to use a virtual machine - use smol machines.

If you need a to run coding agents, use smol machines still because agents are just software.

I think I see one new VM / sandbox thingie a week.

> If you need a to run coding agents, use smol machines still because agents are just software.

I get mixed signals from your argument

it was a tongue in cheek response :), completely fair take

unikraft's internals are not open source so I can't say.

But smol machines are not an implementation of unikernel - it's basically just the linux kernel but slimmed down. So, more compatible with most software.

thanks, it's my hand traced over and then made pretty.

Will build a free open source self serve orchestration to enable subsecond vm vending

But should be easy for anyone to build their own integration with existing as well like nomad.

This does that.

I'm trying to do away the model of cpu and memory tbh.

Virtio- balloon dynamically resizes based on memory consumed.

CPU is oversubscribed by default

Sounds amazing! I hope it can replace "docker run --rm" for me. Nice work!
