Hi HN, we built SuperHQ, an open source app that runs AI coding agents in isolated microVM sandboxes instead of directly on your machine. Each agent gets its own VM with a full Debian environment. You mount your projects in, writes go to a tmpfs overlay so your host is never touched, and you get a d

Unique: Collects metrics at the hypervisor and guest OS level rather than relying on agent-level instrumentation, providing visibility into resource usage and system behavior that agents cannot hide or manipulate, and supporting agents in any language without requiring agent-specific instrumentation

vs others: More comprehensive than agent-level logging because it captures system-level behavior (CPU, memory, I/O, network) that agents may not instrument, and more reliable than in-process monitoring because metrics are collected outside the agent process where they cannot be tampered with

via “multi-run trace aggregation and statistics”

We built meta-agent: an open-source library that automatically and continuously improves agent harnesses from production traces.Point it at an existing agent, a stream of unlabeled production traces, and a small labeled holdout set.An LLM judge scores unlabeled production traces as they stream.A pro
