For the engineers in the room
Sandbox performance, kernel internals, security posture. Real numbers, reproducible methodology.
Why CLOVE wins
Frameworks are either fast OR safe OR flexible — never all three. CLOVE is a C++ kernel underneath, which is why speed comes free. It's OS-isolated per agent, which is why safety is kernel-enforced. And it's model-agnostic by design, which is why you're never locked in.
Technical Section
Native C++ kernel vs container-based runtimes. No Docker overhead, no cold starts. If you care about the engineering, here's why.
Measured on Apple M5 · 24GB RAM · CLOVE v2.0.0 · All frameworks at latest stable · Reproduction methodology available on request
Your CFO and your CISO both sign off. Hard budgets, real isolation, full audit trails — enforced at the kernel, not the app.
Set a budget. The kernel enforces it — not the agent. At your limit, the process is killed. No runaway loops, no $50K invoice on Monday morning.
Replay any workflow, exactly, from months ago. What the agent saw, what it decided, what it did. Same inputs, same output, every time. Compliance-grade.
Watchers observe your systems 24/7. When a reconciliation breaks, a VaR limit trips, or an API times out — the watcher catches it, reroutes, and escalates before anyone notices.
Run the 2MB binary on your own servers. Zero external orchestration calls, zero telemetry. Air-gapped option for regulated deployments. Your data, your infra, full stop.
Each agent runs in its own PID, mount, and network namespace. A compromised workflow can't read another one's memory or touch another team's data.
Switch models, switch providers, switch routing rules — without a code rewrite. Your workflows outlive any single LLM. Claude today, Llama tomorrow, whatever's best next year.
