ForeverVM: Run AI-generated code in stateful sandboxes that run forever
28 by paulgb | 5 comments on Hacker News.
Hey HN! We started Jamsocket a few years ago as a way to run ephemeral servers that last for as long as a WebSocket connection. We sandboxed those servers, so with the rise of LLMs we started to see people use them for arbitrary code execution. While this works, it was clunkier than what we would have wanted in a first-principles code execution product. We built ForeverVM from scratch to be that product. In particular, it felt clunky for app developers to have to think about sandboxes starting and stopping, so the core tenet of ForeverVM is using memory snapshotting to create the abstraction of a Python REPL that lives forever. When you go on our site, you are given a live Python repl, try it out!
