Era – Open-source local sandbox for AI agents

Hacker News

Just watched this video by ThePrimeagen ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efwDZw7l2Nk ) about attackers jailbreaking Claude to run cyber attacks. The core issue: AI agents need isolation. We built ERA to fix this – local microVM-based sandboxing for AI-generated code with hardware-level security. Think containers, but safer. Such attacks wouldn't touch your host if running in ERA. GitHub: https://github.com/BinSquare/ERA Quick start: https://github.com/BinSquare/ERA/tree/main/era-agent/tutoria... Would love your thoughts and feedback!
