OpenComputer

Long-running cloud infrastructure for AI agents

OpenComputer is Digger's 'beyond sandboxes' compute primitive for AI agents — persistent VMs with full OS access, elastic CPU/memory resizing at runtime, instant checkpoints, hibernate/wake with preserved state, and a 20 GB disk per VM. Purpose-built as a harness target for SDKs like Claude Agent SDK: agents install packages once and pick up exactly where they left off across sessions rather than re-bootstrapping every run. Ships a TypeScript SDK (`@opencomputer/sdk`) with Sandbox primitives (commands.run, files.write, etc.), scales to thousands of VMs, and meters at ~$0.02/hour for 4 GB/1 vCPU (disk above 20 GB billed at ~$0.26/GB-month whether the VM is running or hibernated). Positioned for B2B agent platforms — 'if you're building the next Lovable, Devin, or Bolt.'
