DeltaBox: Scaling Stateful AI Agents with Millisecond-Level Sandbox Checkpoint/Rollback

ArXi:2605.22781v1 Announce Type: cross LLM-powered AI agents require high-frequency state exploration (e.g., test-time tree search and reinforcement learning), relying on rapid checkpoint and rollback (C/R) of the complete sandbox state, including files and process state (e.g., memory, contexts, etc.). Existing mechanisms duplicate the entire state, causing hundreds of milliseconds to seconds of latency per C/R, which severely bottlenecks deep search and large-scale fan-outs. This paper observes that subsequent checkpoints in AI agents are highly similar.
