E2B

Firecracker microVM sandboxes purpose-built for running AI-generated code.

Overview

E2B gives each agent run a disposable microVM with a filesystem, a shell, and network access. Because isolation is at the hypervisor rather than the process level, running untrusted model output is a contained operation. The SDKs cover the common agent patterns — data analysis, code interpretation, and high-concurrency evaluation.

Why it's indexed

The reference answer to 'where do I run code the model just wrote' — hardware-level isolation with interactive-speed startup.

Editorial judgement, not a measurement — see our methodology. Listing is never paid for.
