What they shipped

  • From its YC profile: machine0 is a CLI for agent compute: machine0 new mybox gives your agent a full cloud VM, billed by the minute, from small up to 60 vCPU / 240 GB and 8×H100s. Agents drive it themselves via CLI or MCP. Agent workloads are moving from ephemeral to always-on. A coding agent working on a hard feature runs 6-8 hours. Auto-research agents run for days. machine0 is the environment in which these agents run. (source)
  • Its own site describes it as: "Up to 60 vCPUs, 240 GB RAM & GPUs. Designed for agents using CLI or MCP. Billed by the minute." (source)
