What is the best microVMs for AI agents?


Three weeks ago, we just launched an open-source computer-use agent: https://github.com/zfoong/WhiteCollarAgent

However, we are currently looking for self-hosted and easy-to-set-up microVM solutions for the agent's GUI mode. The idea is to let agents operate in an isolated environment for its GUI operation, like web-browsing, launching an app, and using the app, etc.

Anyone with any experience with microVM, feel free to let me know in the comments. Many thanks!

Why a VM as opposed to just a container?

Containers are more flexible, especially in cloud environments. You can run containers on a cloud VM, or in a managed cloud cluster. Micro VMs can’t typically be used that way.

(I work at a SaaS that relies heavily on this model.)
