android emulator + chrome + 60fps desktop stream all running inside a 8vCPU, 16GB RAM, 125GB nvme boat.dev VM, at only $0.072/hr the frontier always-on agent workflows need stable, inexpensive, generous VMs, with all included look no further

dude literally showed us the core value we had that we didn't accept we had talk to your customers
6 months ago I was sitting with @AniC_dev at Fort Mason and I asked him if you have really figured out how to give agents super cheap and fast compute why don’t you sell that? Fast forward 6 months and @boatdotdev is in YC and is the fastest growing and cheapest sandbox provider in the world with goal to underwrite all compute for the agentic economy. This is truly a game changer. For agents and @galya_ai where we are pushing the frontier of matching people with the right products and content via agents. This is great example of how friends change the world one conversation at a time - together!

what separates the mid founders from the greats are these kind of moments kudos to Jake when you are at sea take the boats, when you're in the train stay on the rail(way)s
Replying to @AniC_dev
Ah shit, who let @railwayintern run the account again... Sorry about that! Boat looks cool too :) BTW, it was really fun meeting you at David Holz's place a while back. Didn't realize you were in the space now!

lol lmao even
free VM... for 60 minutes and after that, 23x more expensive than boat.dev for same amount of RAM and vCPU 🥶

ours is $0.00002/second for same size that's >10x cheaper than this if you don't blink good try I guess
POV: your agent has a desktop in the cloud 8 CPU, 16Gi RAM, $0.00025/second the future is here

Get a free VM from your terminal or from @muse. Zero sign-up. One command. ssh railway.new

sometimes it's better to pay a bit upfront we're the costco of sandboxes, cheaper than everyone else by an order of magnitude, while remaining of the highest quality but we don't do free (there is a 7 day trial tho) boat.dev

with boat.dev you can run up to 2000 concurrent 8c 16gb ram 125gb nvme VMs no time limit, they could run forever filesystem is snapshotted every 60s, no data loss, no bad surprises if they ever die (node failure?) we reboot em on another node all self-serve

gm sf today we keep improving our sandbox product boat.dev on every front: speed to get a VM, to fork and resume it, snapshot stability, optimizing docker in VM support on fork, optimizing big files restore, optimizing computer use tooling... stay cool, see big

master agent and his subagents leaving a xlarge 16vCPU boat.dev VM after ordering your KFC wings on doordash by means of elaborate chrome clicky clicking and gracious captcha dodging

congrats to docker for shipping a sandbox product 7.8x more expensive than boat.dev
Today we're introducing Cloud Sandboxes: same microVM isolation as Docker Sandboxes on your laptop, same CLI, always-on Docker-managed compute. Close your laptop. Keep the agent running. Move between local and cloud with one command. $250 credit for new accounts: docker.com/sbx-promo

if alexander wang and boat haven't been proving it enough already: a good meme is worth a seed round spent on billboards and stadiums
