Audience
Developers building long-running AI agents, coding-agent platforms, isolated code execution services and persistent developer workspaces.
About Sandbox0
Sandbox0 is an Apache-2.0 sandbox runtime for long-running AI agents and services that execute untrusted code. It provides isolated Linux environments with command execution, stateful contexts, file operations, SSH, supervised sessions, and network controls. Sandboxes retain a durable writable RootFS across successful pause-and-resume checkpoints; snapshots, restore, and forks support reusable workspaces. The Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, and Go SDKs, HTTP API, and s0 CLI let applications create and manage sandboxes. Sandbox0 Cloud provides hosted access, while teams can self-host the runtime on dedicated Nomad infrastructure. Default pause preserves filesystem state, not live process memory or external connections; experimental memory recovery requires compatible deployment support.

Agent Substrate
Agent Substrate is an open-source runtime for operating isolated, stateful agent and code-execution sandboxes on Kubernetes. It coordinates actor and worker lifecycles, places active workloads on a shared pool of ready capacity, and can suspend idle environments while preserving memory and filesystem state for later resumption. Sandboxes use gVisor or Cloud Hypervisor microVM isolation, with per-actor identity and network controls. Agent Substrate is designed for platform and infrastructure teams building agent-hosting services, coding environments, and other workloads that execute untrusted or intermittent tasks. The core project is Kubernetes-portable; Google Cloud also provides GKE-optimized deployment tooling. Optional Filestore agent volumes can persist workspaces across suspend and resume cycles.

CreateOS Sandbox
CreateOS Sandbox is a hosted compute service for developers building AI agents, code-execution platforms, and developer tools. It creates isolated Firecracker micro-virtual machines, each with its own Linux kernel, where teams can run untrusted or model-generated code. Developers can provision environments through a TypeScript SDK, command-line interface, MCP tools, or REST API, execute commands, and connect sandboxes through private networks. Sandboxes can be paused and resumed with guest state preserved, configured from reusable templates, and connected to customer-owned Amazon S3, MinIO, or Cloudflare R2 storage. Usage is metered per second for compute, memory, and disk; paused environments continue to incur memory and storage charges. The service offers EU and US regions, plus an enterprise option to run on customer infrastructure.

Sprites
Sprites by Fly.io is a stateful sandbox platform for running arbitrary code in hardware-isolated Linux environments. A Sprite acts like a persistent Linux computer where developers can execute AI agents, user-uploaded binaries, scripts, applications, and other workloads. The platform supports checkpoint and restore, allowing environments to persist and resume instead of starting from scratch each time. Sprites use fast directly attached NVMe storage that continuously syncs to durable external object storage. Developers can create, manage, execute commands, and connect to Sprite consoles through the CLI, REST API, JavaScript, Go, Elixir, and Python tooling. Built for developers and AI infrastructure teams, Sprites gives applications a simple place to safely run code with persistence, sandboxing, usage-based pricing, and scalable execution.
