Overview
Freestyle provides full Linux virtual machines purpose-built for AI agents and long-running tasks. VMs start in milliseconds (65ms typical), support persistent workloads running for hours, days, or weeks, and can be paused and resumed with state intact. The platform includes powerful features like live cloning, nested virtualization, FUSE, eBPF support, and network controls with WireGuard tunnels for secure private cloud connectivity.
Designed for complex coding tasks, experimental exploration, and multi-tenant agent platforms, Freestyle VMs scale from hobby projects to enterprise deployments. The service offers transparent usage-based pricing alongside tiered plans, with a free tier for getting started and paid options for growing workloads.
