Coasty

Computer Using Agents on Secure Cloud VMs That Run Forever

Visit site ↗Alternativestop 7% of February 2026

What it does

Most agent infrastructure runs workloads in shared environments, one compromised agent affects everything else. Coasty gives every AI agent its own isolated VM. No shared processes, no noisy neighbors, no blast radius. Each agent spins up sandboxed and tears down cleanly. True isolation. Not a container in a shared pool, a dedicated VM. Undercuts AWS & GCP. Built for agents, not retrofitted compute. Running code execution, browser automation, or multi-agent pipelines? Visit coasty.ai

  • I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.

  • Hey HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…
