How to Deploy Long-Running Agents on Freestyle
Blog post from Freestyle
Freestyle VMs provide a robust infrastructure solution for deploying long-running AI agents, offering a persistent Linux environment that supports key functionalities such as stateful sessions, rapid resume capabilities, live forking, and snapshot caching. Unlike ephemeral agent tasks that focus on short-lived, single-function executions, long-running agents require a sustained runtime to maintain their environment, accumulated state, and installed tools. Freestyle VMs address this need by allowing agents to pause and resume efficiently, with minimal costs during idle periods, and by providing a flexible setup that includes SSH access, configurable networking, and support for various programming environments. This infrastructure is particularly beneficial for applications that involve continuous or extended tasks, such as project-based coding agents, research monitoring agents, or app-building workflows, ensuring they can operate effectively without the inefficiencies of repeatedly rebuilding their environment.
