Show HN: Add AI code interpreter to any LLM via SDK
Hi, I'm the CEO of the company that built this SDK.
We're a company called E2B [0]. We're building and open-source [1] secure environments for running untrusted AI-generated code and AI agents. We call these environments sandboxes and they are built on top of micro VM called Firecracker [2].
You can think of us as giving small cloud computers to LLMs.
We recently created a dedicated SDK for building custom code interpreters in Python or JS/TS. We saw this need after a lot of our users have been adding code execution capabilities to their AI apps with our core SDK [3]. These use cases were often centered around AI data analysis so code interpreter-like behavior made sense
The way our code interpret SDK works is by spawning an E2B sandbox with Jupyter Server. We then communicate with this Jupyter server through Jupyter Kernel messaging protocol [4].
We don't do any wrapping around LLM, any prompting, or any agent-like framework. We leave all of that on users. We're really just a boring code execution layer that sats at the bottom that we're building specifically for the future software that will be building another software. We work with any LLM. Here's how we added code interpreter to Claude [5].
Our long-term plan is to build an automated AWS for AI apps and agents.
Happy to answer any questions and hear feedback!

Fly.it Has GPUs Now
As far as I know, Fly uses Firecracker for their VMs. I've been following Firecracker for a while now (even using it in a project), and they don't support GPUs out of the box (and have no plan to support it [1]).
I'm curious to know how Fly figured their own GPU support with Firecracker. In the past they had some very detailed technical posts on how they achieved certain things, so I'm hoping we'll see one on their GPU support in the future!

MotorOS: a Rust-first operating system for x64 VMs
I pass through a GPU and USB hub to a VM running on a machine in the garage. An optical video cable and network compatible USB extender brings the interface to a different room making it my primary “desktop” computer (and an outdated laptop as a backup device). Doesn’t get more silent and cool than this. Another VM on the garage machine gets a bunch of hard drives passed through to it.
That said, hardware passthrough/VFIO is likely out of the current realistic scope for this project. VM boot times can be optimized if you never look for hardware to initialize in the first place. Though they are still likely initializing a network interface of some sort.
“MicroVM” seems to be a term used when as much as possible is stripped from a VM, such as with https://github.com/firecracker-microvm/firecracker

We Replaced Firecracker with QEMU
Dynamic memory management - Firecracker's RAM footprint starts low, but once a workload inside allocates RAM, Firecracker will never return it to the host system. After running several workloads inside, you end up with an idling VM that consumes 32 GB of RAM on the host, even though it doesn't need any of it.
Firecracker has a balloon device you can inflate (ie: acquire as much memory inside the VM as possible) and then deflate... returning the memory to the host.
https://github.com/firecracker-microvm/firecracker/blob/main...
- I'm looking for a virtual machine that prioritizes privacy and does not include tracking or telemetry.

Neverflow: Set of C macros that guard against buffer overflows
Very few things in those companies are being written in Rust, and half of those projects chose Rust around ideological reasons rather than technical, with plenty of 'unsafe' thrown in for performance reasons
https://github.com/firecracker-microvm/firecracker/search?q=...
The fact that 'unsafe' even exists in Rust means it's no better than C with some macros.
Don't get me wrong, Rust has it's place, like all the other languages that came about for various reasons, but it's not going to gain wide adoption.
Future of programming consists of 2 languages - something like C that has a small instruction set for adopting to new hardware, and something that is very high level, higher than Python with LLM in the background. Everything in the middle is fodder.

fdupes: Identify or Delete Duplicate Files
I've used Czkawka (https://github.com/qarmin/czkawka) because it does Lanczos-based image duplicate detection, which makes it more practical for me.

AllDup suddenly taking forever to process/delete selections
Maybe it's a setting you made or the files, not sure. You can try another software czkawka to see if you get better results with it.

Is there a file duplicate finder that works with animated jpegxl-gif?
For static images i used https://github.com/qarmin/czkawka and it works well enough. I think. But when i used it on a folder with gifs and their jxl conversions, it shows nothing. SURELY this could not be user error, rrrright?

PhotoPrism: Browse Your Life in Pictures
I used to use DupeGuru which has some photo-specific dupe detection where you can fuzzy match image dupes based on content: https://dupeguru.voltaicideas.net/
But I switched over to czkawka, which has a better interface for comparing files, and seems to be a bit faster: https://github.com/qarmin/czkawka
Unfortunately, neither of these are integrated into Photoprism, so you still have to do some file management outside the database before importing.
I also haven't used Photoprism extensively yet (I think it's running on one of my boxes, but I haven't gotten around to setting it up), but I did find that it wasn't really built for file-based libraries. It's a little more heavyweight, but my research shows that Nextcloud Memories might be a better choice for me (it's not the first-party Nextcloud photos app, but another one put together by the community): https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/memories

Please don't post like 20 similar images to the art sites?
Czkawka can do this.

I'm amazed how I find anything & why I have so many dupes!
There's always the well-respected tool, Czkawka. Or, of the CLI is your thing, jdupes is a good option.
