OpenCode Is Powerful. That's Exactly the Problem.

Routing OpenCode's bash, write, and edit tools into a disposable microVM with one plugin — the agent keeps its autonomy, your laptop stops being the blast radius.

The problem in the title is autonomy: OpenCode will happily run shell commands on the machine you gave it. Divy's fix is the tensorlake-opencode plugin — two config lines that reroute bash, write, edit, and the file tools into a disposable microVM while web search stays local. The sandbox spins up lazily on the first command (2.3 seconds end to end), and he proves the loop by having the agent clone a real repo, refactor it, and pass the test suite — 184 passed, 0 failed — without touching his host filesystem.

We didn’t write this one — it’s Divy Yadav’s piece, published on Towards AI. The note above is ours; the full article is theirs.

Firecracker disk snapshots in O(changed bytes), not O(disk size)We added copy-on-write image layering inside Firecracker's block device, and the disk got faster, not slower. Snapshots pause the VM for tens of milliseconds and cost only what changed, so a running Postgres barely notices them, at any disk size.
