Fork-based VM isolation for parallel AI agents beats fighting over localhost resources.
E2B sandbox agent infra, but Anthropic, Hugging Face, Replicate, and Modal already serve this layer.
170× denser than vanilla K8s by sharing one apiserver across thousands of isolated control planes.
MCP sandbox isolation for agents; E2B/Modal/Docker/WASM backends already exist separately.
Persistent cloud workspaces for AI agents; impressive demo, but execution complexity remains unproven at scale.
Self-hosted on your GCP, but AI coding agent orchestration is extremely crowded.
