Go from babysitting one agent at a time to enabling many agents to work safely and independently with your preferred stack.

Hey there 👋 Just wanted to share a fun experiment I’ve been playing around with at Dagger. We hooked up our entire Container API to LLMs, and they’ve been doing some mind-blowing stuff... 🧵

Just like we containerized webapps, we'll have to containerize AI agents... but how? What first principles led to containers in the first place, and how do they transpose to LLMs?
This was my first talk at an AI meetup, but I doubt it will be the last!

GPUs in CI/CD are challenging—high costs, low utilization, and complex setups.

I've gone the dagger.io route for project specific tooling and generally containerized setups, for both building and as a containerized task engine
Dagger.io
Powerful, programmable CI/CD engine that runs your pipelines in
containers — pre-push on your local machine and/or post-push in CI

I strongly recommend watching the documentary “Buy Now!” on Netflix - very well made and very informative. It’ll make you think twice about buying the new iPhone or a pair of shoes.
