Versioned storage sandbox is a differentiator
From 2 comments
Interesting. Their versioned storage sandbox seems to be what really sets them apart
danielbenzvi on HNThis looks pretty useful. The versioned filesystem part is nice becuase that’s exactly where a lot of agent stuff gets messy fast.

Useful for persistent agent storage
From 2 comments
I was trying to build an agent. None of the sandboxes out there had solved the filesystem problem. I want my agent to have a persistent storage, and that stays forever. Like a…
kushalpatil07 on HNExactly that!

Objections
Hosted service, not a local or open source sandbox
From 3 comments
I had to dig hard to find this is a SAAS sandbox offering not an actual sandbox (the software i can use locally). Its just wasting peoples time, no one needs a non opensource…
jFriedensreich on HNAnother one. If it's not a local sandbox, I'm not interested. We've got enough subscription lock-in from LLM's already.
grim_io on HNInteresting. Literally saw a tweet talking about exactly this last night. Not sure how I feel about it using on your hosted service, while your home page is asking me for…

Lacks clear use case and vague landing page
From 3 comments
All these agent offering are missing a use case. What I would use it for and why? It reminds me of a blockchain - where it was a solution desperately looking for a problem. What…
varispeed on HNJust my two cents: less is more and the first impression matters a lot. I'm saying this because we see a new agent sandbox tool on the front-page almost every day. Most of them…
docheinestages on HNThis is an excellent idea who's time has come. But this is too vague for me. I'm not seeing my questions answered in the landing page or FAQ either. E.g.,... what's the pricing?…

Demo is weak
From 1 comment
Being brutally honest - terrible demo. 80% of this is baseline stuff, setting up permissions (annoying), and the last few seconds we see a file was deleted and we can approve it.…

Versioning already available via git or S3
From 2 comments
Git is already versioned, S3 support versioning and any file copied into the sandbox, is well a copy, so I am not sure what is the angle here. Other than that it looks cool!
_pdp_ on HNJust enable versioning in S3?

Clear pricing
From 2 comments
> Free to start Before I invest my time into something like this I'll need to know what it'll end up costing in the end. Perhaps it's just that "private previews" aren't for me.…

Read-only access controls
From 1 comment
This is good and all, but it doesn't stop the agent from deleting you remote github branches, s3 data or potentially gdrive data. Are you able to set access read only? I'd never…

Questions
Which OS is supported
From 1 comment
I glanced through the whole documentation, the homepage and the github readmes and still couldn't figure out which OS do they support and how. And this is especially important to…

Compute resources available

What compute resources does the sandbox have? Memory/CPU/GPU?

lakeFS directly
From 1 comment
not at the moment. You can use lakeFS directly with Fuse-Mount to do something similar with your own compute.

SlicerVM

It's interesting to see this one launch (yes yet another sandbox.. I was getting worried we'd not seen one for a few days) SlicerVM (est. 2022) is already used for prime time,…

Btrfs snapshots
From 1 comment
Snapshotting a filesystem is trivial with e.g. btrfs. You can hook snapshot creation in your agent. That is a single one liner of btrfs subvolume snapshot, in a single hook…
