October 2026 Summaries

Moyai uses Harbor and boxd virtual machines to run large-scale benchmarks of coding agents, helping its platform identify abnormal agent behavior and real production failures from traces collected through tools such as Langfuse, LangSmith, and OpenTelemetry. Replacing Modal sandboxes, which were costly, difficult to size, and inaccessible for debugging, boxd provides an isolated full Linux KVM VM with Docker and 100 GB of storage for each task, allowing unmodified Docker workloads, SSH access during execution, and automatic cleanup. Since August 2026, Harbor has created 279,577 machines for Moyai across 877 open-source benchmark tasks, with median boot times of 5 milliseconds and a peak of 36,335 machines in one day; the system also executed more than 5 million commands and uploaded 1.9 million files. Moyai plans to expand to more realistic and complex tasks to improve its ability to detect agent failures, while the Harbor boxd environment provider is being prepared for upstream integration.
