forkd

Repository: deeplethe/forkdDescription: Fork() for AI agent microVMs; spawn 100 children in ~100ms from a warm parent. Key Features:

• Snapshot CoW: Uses Copy-on-Write for extremely fast branching of live VMs.
• KVM-Isolated: High security and performance through hardware-accelerated virtualization.
• Live Branching: Branch a live VM in ~150ms with minimal source pause (~50ms).
• Multi-child Fanout: Ideal for speculative execution or parallel evaluation tasks.
• E2B Compatible: Drop-in replacement for E2B's sandbox in many workflows.

Primary Use Cases:

• Running untrusted code in secure, isolated environments.
• Parallel repository checkouts and evaluations (SWE-bench style).
• Speculative agent workflows where multiple paths are explored simultaneously.

Notes / Why Notable

Forkd brings the classic Unix fork() primitive to the world of microVMs, enabling near-instant creation of isolated execution environments for AI agents. This is a game-changer for speed and security in autonomous coding systems.
