Author here. I know there are other projects like Daytona, E2B etc. None of them works with K8s though. Firecracker requires KVM nodes and husk pods to work. There is also the kubernetes-sigs/agent-sandbox project which is similar at a first glance.
So I understand there might come doubts in the comments on whether this is useful but I think the fact that one can run scalable sandboxes for untrusted code on Kubernetes making use of Firecracker and CoW is pretty neat (also for running sub-agents and providing them all the context).
Very interested in any kind of feedback at this stage.
We are looking for a senior sofware engineer (Rust, React) to join our team. Aqora has just raised its seed round and we are growing our team to build the "Huggingface of Quantum Computing". Reach out via hiring at aqora.io
Interesting, I have recently started working on a project which is similar and fully open source, maybe interesting to some here. Happy to receive any kind of feedback on it.

Aqora is the "Hugging Face for quantum computing". We host datasets, benchmarks, and use-case challenges, plus the orchestration layer to run quantum algorithms and workflows across hardware backends, so results are reproducible, comparable, and actually move the field forward. We grew out of the QuantX hackathons at École Polytechnique and now run competitions and a public datasets hub for partners across pharma, finance, energy, and defense.
We're hiring:
* Senior Full Stack Software Engineer (Rust/React). Build the platform end to end: datasets hub, challenges, leaderboards, and the workflow engine that orchestrates quantum jobs across backends. You own features from schema to UI and care about developer experience. Bonus: data, ML, or research-platform experience.
* Quantum Computing Expert. Design challenges, curate datasets, define benchmarks, and shape how algorithms and workflows run on the platform. Work directly with enterprise partners to translate their problems into something the community can solve. PhD or equivalent depth in quantum algorithms, QML, or optimization.
* Chief Commercial Officer, US. Own US go-to-market end to end: strategy, enterprise pipeline, team build-out. You've scaled commercial functions at a deep-tech, dev-tools, or research-platform company. Based in the US.
* Head of Marketing. Positioning, demand gen, and brand for a category still being defined. B2B technical marketing background required; quantum experience welcome but not necessary, curiosity is.
* Product Manager. Drive the roadmap across the datasets hub, challenges platform, benchmarks, and workflow orchestration. Strong technical instincts and experience shipping developer or research-facing products.
* Sales, EU. Enterprise sales into R&D and innovation teams across Europe. Long, technical sales cycles, consultative selling, comfort talking to PhDs and procurement on the same day. EU-based, remote.
Reach out to jannes[at]aqora.io with a short note on why this problem space and what you've built or sold before.
Very interesting! I’ll certainly try it out. I am wondering though what’s the advantage over doing it with a K8s operator (disclaimer, I created and maintain https://github.com/openclaw-rocks/k8s-operator)?
Also, I am genuinely curious about the choice of license.
Given the „new (agentic) way“ in that software is being developed now, don’t you think it can be copied easily and that this kind of license will hinder adoption at some point?
