About this project

bux is an embedded micro-VM sandbox designed specifically for running AI agents in an isolated environment. It is built on top of libkrun, a lightweight virtualization library, and supports two hypervisor backends: KVM on Linux and Hypervisor.framework on macOS, giving it cross-platform coverage for the two major desktop/server operating systems. The project is part of the QuantX open-source initiative and is dual-licensed under Apache License 2.0 and MIT, allowing broad adoption in both open-source and proprietary contexts. The README points to a docs/ directory for further documentation, though the repository landing page itself is minimal, focusing on the project identity, license, and core technical description. As a micro-VM sandbox, bux provides a lightweight isolation layer that can contain AI agent workloads, which is important for security and resource containment when agents execute code or interact with system resources. The embedded nature suggests it is intended to be integrated as a library or component within larger applications rather than deployed as a standalone service.
