Products that do what StoffelVM – A WIP VM for Multiparty Computation does
Hey HN! We’re building the StoffelVM, a virtual machine designed to make secure multi-party computation accessible to regular developers. Right now it’s early-stage: - We’ve built the VM core - But MPC isn’t wired up yet We are looking for feedback on the general approach. If you are interested in building something that would be a good fit, feel free to reach out! Details are in my bio.

Hello HN! We've been working on a new hypervisor https://kwarantine.xyz that can run strongly isolated containers. This is still a WIP, but we wanted to give the community an idea about our approach, its benefits, and various use cases it unlocks. Today, VMs are used to host containers, and make up for the lack of strong security as well as kernel isolation in containers. This work adds this missing security piece in containers. We plan on launching a free private beta soon. Meanwhile, we'd deeply appreciate any feedback, and happy to answer any questions here or on our slack…

Over the past few months, as we scaled our internal AI Agents, we hit a dead end: Running LLM-generated arbitrary code in Docker is basically running naked on security due to container escape risks. But using full traditional VMs takes minutes to boot and eats too much memory to support high-density concurrency. We loved the developer experience of SaaS sandboxes on the market, but they are closed-source, expensive, and have too high a barrier to entry for self-hosting. So, our team decided to build our own. After months of grinding, using RustVMM and KVM, we built a blazing-fast,…

I've been running Pi using SmolVM to build SmolVM! SmolVM provides an abstraction over microVMs to easily create sandboxes for coding agents, OpenClaw, or just to build a custom harness. To use it, install using: curl -sSL https://celesto.ai/install.sh | bash and then run: smolvm pi start

SmolVM is an open-source local sandbox for AI agents on macOS and Linux. I started building it because agent workflows need more than isolated code execution. They need a reusable environment: write files in one step, come back later, snapshot state, pause/resume, and increasingly interact with browsers or full desktop environments. Right now SmolVM is a Python SDK and CLI focused on local developer experience. Current features include: - local sandbox environments - macOS and Linux support - snapshotting - pause/resume - persistent environments across turns Install: ``` curl -sSL…

The PENVM platform provides the building blocks to facilitate the leveraging of networks: https://github.com/penvm/penvm#what-does-penvm-offer. There is no lack of frameworks and tools for working with servers, communicating over the network, and processing. What PENVM does is make this simple and easy to use, reuse, and share. Low-level concerns with networking and communication are not exposed. Network setup and management is simple. Communication is uncomplicated. And integration within applications is smooth with freedom to apply as needed. PENVM provides the means to…

Hello Hacker News, I often hear people saying "all build-systems suck", an opinion I have been sharing for years, and this is the motivation for this project. I finally got the opportunity to make it open-source, and here it is. In a few words, it is like make, except it can be comfortably used even in big projects using HPC (with millions of jobs, thousands of them running in parallel). The major differences are that: - dependencies are automatically tracked (no need to call gcc -M and the like, no need to be tailored to any specific tool, it just works) by spying disk activity - it is…

Hey HN, we’re the developers of OpenLake, an open source storage engine for offloading LLM KV caches from GPU memory into a shared tier of RAM and NVMe. We built OpenLake because KV caches are outgrowing GPU memory. A single 256K token conversation on Gemma 4 31B produces approximately 43GB of KV state, more than half the memory of an 80GB H100. The problem becomes even harder across a cluster: a prefix cached on one GPU host is unavailable when the next request lands on a different GPU, forcing the new GPU to repeat work the fleet has already completed. Once the KV cache is offloaded,…
