BoxLite Pitches a Persistent Hardware-Isolated Micro-VM as the Compute Substrate for Agents
`boxlite-ai/boxlite` (2,245 stars, Rust, Apache-2.0, pushed 2026-08-13) runs any OCI image inside a micro-VM with its own kernel — stronger isolation than a container, lighter than a full VM — and, critically, persists it. Agents install packages, write files and resume across turns rather than starting cold every invocation, and the runtime is async-first for managing fleets. It ships simultaneously to PyPI (`boxlite`), npm (`@boxlite-ai/boxlite`) and crates.io, which is the tell that it wants to be embedded in agent frameworks rather than run as a hosted service.
