Agent Machines Runtime
Persistent Linux rig provisioned by the Agent Machines control plane. Runtime root: ~/.agent-machines (not ~/.hermes).
Providers
| Provider | Home path | Notes |
|---|
| dedalus | /home/machine | Firecracker microVM, sleep/wake |
| e2b | /home/user | Sandbox, public URL per port |
| sprites | /home/sprite | Sprites.dev compute |
Agent runtimes (pick one per machine)
| Kind | Gateway | State | Role |
|---|
| hermes | :8642 | ~/.agent-machines | Default: memory, cron, MCP, skills |
| openclaw | :18789 | ~/.openclaw | Computer-use runtime |
| claude-code | n/a | ~/.claude | Anthropic API |
| codex | n/a | ~/.codex | OpenAI API |
When Hermes is the runtime, HERMES_HOME=~/.agent-machines.
