Quicksand gives AI agents rootless, isolated QEMU sandboxes
Quicksand lets developers run AI-agent workloads in Linux virtual machines without root privileges or Docker, reducing the setup needed for disposable sandboxes. Its async Python API launches Ubuntu or Alpine VMs, runs commands, mounts files, and keeps networking off by default unless enabled. Developers can save environments and checkpoint or revert a VM, making risky experiments repeatable across macOS, Linux, and Windows on x86_64 or ARM64.
