SmolVM launches portable microVMs for AI agents

SmolVM is a category-defining infrastructure primitive for the autonomous agent era, solving the "secure sandbox" problem without the overhead of heavy VMMs. True hardware isolation via native hypervisors provides a much stronger security boundary than Docker for running untrusted agent-written code, while stateful .smolmachine files allow agents to persist environments across nodes. Extreme cold-start performance enables serverless-style scaling, and features like egress control and SSH agent forwarding make it a more practical alternative to Firecracker for development workloads.
