Run any workload in a fast, hardware-isolated Linux VM. The same SDK and the same .smolmachine artifact run identically:
smol-machines/smolvm
An embeddable, portable, branchable virtual machine to safely run Agents locally.
Vercel Sandbox
Vercel Sandbox allows you to run arbitrary code in isolated, ephemeral Linux VMs.
libkrun/libkrun
A dynamic library providing Virtualization-based process isolation capabilities
atomicdotdev/smolvm-desktop
The desktop companion for smolvm: an open source, cross-platform Tauri app for managing smolvm machines, images, volumes, and more.

smol farm
smol farm is an independent entertainment studio making books, games and apps. Home of Xorientation, Four Corners and more.

We rebuilt the Linux microVM stack on Apple Silicon
Firecracker needs KVM and therefore a Linux host, and the image tooling around it needs loop mounts and Linux userland. We rebuilt the stack on Apple's Virtualization.framework to boot the same OCI images as microVMs on macOS and on Linux.

The Virtual OS Museum
Over 1,700 pre-installed operating systems spanning 1948 to today, in a single Linux VM. Bundled QEMU, VirtualBox, and UTM. One-click launchers for Windows and Linux.
