Dedalus Machines

Dedalus Labs offers Dedalus Machines, Linux virtual machines with their own kernel and a persistent filesystem designed for AI agents and automation tasks. The machines preserve filesystem and identity across sleep and wake, allowing software and data to stay intact between sessions. Access is intended for developers and teams needing repeatable, isolated compute environments that can be controlled programmatically, not through a dashboard alone.

The service emphasizes fast startup and VM-level isolation, aiming to be a secure execution environment for untrusted code and complex workloads. It provides the ability to run dependencies, compile projects, and manage code within separate Linux environments, reducing the risk of host-level interference and preventing cross-tenant impact.

Users interact with the platform via an API, CLI, or SDKs, enabling creation, inspection, and management of machines. The model supports programmatic control, including starting, stopping, rebooting, and deleting machines, with a focus on automation and integration into tooling workflows.

Dedalus Machines are presented as a persistent, configurable computing surface for experiments, development, and agent-based tasks. The system highlights autosleep, wake behavior, and lifecycle management to balance responsiveness with resource use.

Use cases
