AI agents don’t just need intelligence. They need somewhere to work.
In this episode of Uplink, David Crawshaw, Co-Founder and CEO of exe.dev, joins Michael Reid to explore why the rise of AI agents could trigger a new boom in virtual machines. As agents move from answering questions to writing code, running applications, using tools, and completing long-running tasks, the infrastructure underneath them starts to matter a lot more.
David unpacks why persistent, isolated computing environments are becoming increasingly important for agentic AI, what traditional cloud infrastructure gets wrong for this new generation of workloads, and why the humble VM may be finding a completely new purpose in the AI era. exe.dev itself is built around persistent Linux VMs designed for developers and agents, with isolation, networking, storage, and agent-friendly environments as core parts of the platform.
