Contributed to AI-driven autonomous defense robotics, from mechanical control hardware to edge intelligence platforms
WHY NOW
Teams building serious agents often recreate internal VM stacks. ZeroCore provides these primitives as a managed platform.
Design goal
Fast and predictable VM lifecycle operations for branch-heavy workloads.
Snapshots still take 30+ minutes in many workflows
Pause-and-copy checkpoints disrupt running jobs
Most cloud stacks still lack native VM branching
Storage cost climbs without cross-tenant deduplication
Agent workloads need fast-start, isolated environments
Teams need strong isolation without slowing delivery
One API for create, snapshot, branch, restore, and destroy.
Capture VM state without pausing active workloads.
Fork one VM into many branches for parallel runs.
Deduplicate shared blocks to lower storage spend.
Use spot compute with fast migration for stability.
Keep tenant data and sessions isolated by design.
Build low-level primitives from real operator constraints first.
Optimize for branch-heavy agent and automation workloads.
Balance reliability and cost in one runtime design.
