Many of our users run containers and even k8s or k3s inside the sandbox. This is much easier to do when you have a VM and not container inside the VM
Happy to answer your questions!
At E2B, we're building an open-source computer for AI agents. Imagine you want to run 100k claude codes simultaneously, and all spin up in milliseconds.
We're a Series A startup with 8+ figures of annual revenue. We've raised over $37M and have customers that are both exciting new startups (a lot of companies with billboards around SF are our customers and enterprises. We're scaling fast, hiring all over the place, have 5+ years of runway, and a roadmap full of exciting features to build.
If you like solving hard problems, moving fast, and can excel in a bit of chaos, I'd love to chat. Send me your work to vasek[at]e2b.dev.
E2B is an open-source infra devtool that gives AI agents cloud computers that we call sandboxes.
We're Series A startup with 7+ figures revenue. We've raised over $32M and have customers like Perplexity, Hugging Face, Manus, X, MSFT, or Groq. We're growing double digits every month, have 5+ years of runway, and a full roadmap of exciting features to build.
I'd love to chat if you want to help us with some of the scaling challenges, DX, or new products!

We're using Firecrackers [1] to power our sandboxes. Funnily enough, we had this repo sitting on our GitHub for about 6 months. We originally made this for one of our customers because they were running evals on the desktop-like environment with GUI for their model.
You can use PyAutoGUI [2] to control the whole environment programmatically.
The desktop-like environment is based on Linux and Xfce [3] at the moment. We chose Xfce because it's a fast and lightweight environment that's also popular and actively supported. However, this Sandbox template is fully customizable and you can create your own desktop environment.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Btw, we're hiring [4]!

Hi, I'm Vasek [0]. CEO of E2B. We're building an open-source [1] cloud runtime for AI agents.
We've been focused on making it easy to run AI-generated code in the cloud securely in our sandboxes (code interpreting). Users have started over 2.5M of our sandboxes (>1.3M last month). Have been growing 30%-60% MoM. We're a team of 6. Two technical co-founders. Have revenue from seed to enterprise companies. Our customers are companies like Perplexity, LandingAI, Intenseye, or Open Interpreter.
We're from all around the world but moving everyone to SF to our office to work in-person. We like people from non-traditional backgrounds.
What will you work on?
- Systems engineer: micro VMs (Firecracker, Cloud Hypervisor), virtualization, Rust, Golang, Terraform
- Design engineer: ownership of docs, user dashboard, smooth onboarding, Nextjs, JS/TS
Interested? Send a quick hi to my email - vasek at e2b.dev

Things you'll work on:
- JS & Python SDKs
- CLI (TypeScript)
- Making sure our Firecracker sandboxes start in <100ms (Golang + Rust)
- Scaling our infrastructure to handle next 100M of sandboxes (Golang)
- User dashboard (Next.js)
- Technical open-source examples to inspire other developers
- Bringing E2B self-hosted version to AWS

You can use it to run AI-generated Python in headless Jupyter server and also build Next.js apps with it.
Here's the stack I used
- Anthropic's Claude Sonnet 3.5 [0]
- Vercel's AI SDK for calling the LLM [1]
- E2B for running AI-generated code with the Code Interpreter SDK and Sandboxes [2]
- Next.js for the app [3]

I'm the CEO of the company that built this.
We're a company called E2B [0]. We're building and open-source [1] secure environments for running untrusted AI-generated code and AI agents. We call these environments sandboxes and they are built on top of micro VM called Firecracker [2]. We specifically decided to use Firecrackers instead of containers because of their security and ability to do snapshots.
You can think of us as giving small cloud computers to LLMs. We recently created a dedicated SDK for building custom code interpreters in Python or JS/TS. We saw this need after a lot of our users have been adding code execution capabilities to their AI apps with our core SDK [3]. These use cases were often centered around AI data analysis so code interpreter-like behavior made sense
The way our code interpret SDK works is by spawning an E2B sandbox with Jupyter Server. We then communicate with this Jupyter server through Jupyter Kernel messaging protocol [4]. We work with an LLM and AI framework. We have different examples on how to use the SDK with Llama models, Anthropic models, LangChain, LangGraph, and more in our cookbook [5].
We don't do any wrapping around LLM, any prompting, or any agent-like framework. We leave all of that to our users. We're really just a boring code execution layer that sits at the bottom. We're building for the future software that will be building another software. Our long-term plan is to build an automated AWS for AI apps and agents where AI can build and deploy its own software while giving developers powerful observability into what's happening inside our sandboxes. With everything being open-source. Happy to answer any questions and hear feedback!

E2B is building a secure open-source runtime that will power next billion of AI apps & agents.
We found an early traction with making it easy for developers to add [code interpreting](https://github.com/e2b-dev/code-interpreter) to their AI apps with our SDK built on top of our [agentic runtime](https://github.com/e2b-dev/e2b). We have paying customers from seed to enterprise companies.
We're hiring:
- Frontend/Product Engineer
- Infrastructure Engineer
Check the roles here https://e2b.dev/careers
Looks like we're building in the same space. I'm Vasek, co-founder of E2B [0]. We recently launched our Code Interpreter SDK [1].
We think safe code execution for AI generated code has a big future potential. I'd love to chat some time if you're up to it! Maybe there's a way we could join forces and build something great.

In the meantime, everything is open-source and the infra is codified with Terraform. GCP should have the best support now. If you want to dig into it, we'd love to give you support along the road so we can improve the process.
Our infra repo [0] is a good place to start. Once you have E2B deployed, you can just change E2B_DOMAIN env var and use our SDK.
Feel free to email me, join our Discord, or open an issue if you have any questions
The code interpreter SDK [2] that's using our core SDK supports only Python for now but we plan to support more languages. What languages would you like us to support?

> making sure someone doesn’t use your infrastructure to DDOS other folks Agreed. And crypto mining!
> The pain point of all of this is dependencies Would love to learn more. Can you elaborate?
Another challenge is how to make the whole product cost efficient for our users. You don't want them to pay for idle sandboxes running on E2B but only when they actually need them for serverless execution. Firecracker and its snapshots are really helpful with this.
