Launch HN: machine0 (YC S26) – Persistent CPU and GPU VMs from the CLIhttps://machine0.ioHi HN! I’m Barnaby, founder of machine0 (https://machine0.io). I’m building a CLI for long horizon agent compute: `machine0 new mybox` gives your agent a persistent cloud VM, billed by the minute, from $0.013/hr up to 60 vCPU / 240 GB RAM and GPUs (H100s, H200s etc), with 99.99% VM level uptime. Agents self drive via CLI or MCP.Demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gyllkZ0M04EAgent workloads are moving from ephemeral to always-on. A coding agent working on a complex feature runs 6-8 hours. Agent orchestrated training & RL runs take days. OpenClaw & Hermes run 24/7. As you run more in parallel:- Resources: a few agents on a large codebase saturate RAM and CPU. Model training and RL needs GPUs you don't have.- Security: `--yolo` on your personal machine is one prompt injection away from exfiltrated credentials.- Availability: close your laptop and the agent dies mid-task.- Isolation: there's no clean line between you and the minimum your agent actually needs.machine0 gives every agent itAug 18, 2026 4:26 PM
