About machine0
machine0 is a CLI for agent compute: `machine0 new mybox` gives your agent a full cloud VM, billed by the minute, from small up to 60 vCPU / 240 GB and 8×H100s. Agents drive it themselves via CLI or MCP. Agent workloads are moving from ephemeral to always-on. A coding agent working on a hard feature runs 6-8 hours. Auto-research agents run for days. machine0 is the environment in which these agents run.
