Comment #48688875
i’d say what AWS released looks closer to a bare compute primitive. E2B is up the stack and ships everything around VM like snapshots, networking, integrations. also, there’s no lo…

the code is not public, so we can't know. i think it's much more nuanced and certain users' comments might get a preferential treatment, based on factors other than the upvote coun…

of course your comment attracts more upvotes - it's at the top.

i don't doubt this. i just find it questionable that one particular poster always gets in the spotlight when AI is the topic - while other conversations in my opinion offer more in…

just from looking at it on Linux it runs Firecracker: https://github.com/jingkaihe/matchlock/blob/main/pkg/vm/linu... on macOS uses the Apple's Virtualization.Framework Go wrapper:…

very cool, if you want cross-platform microvms, there's an interesting project called libkrun that powers projects like Podman and Colima. here's a Go binding: https://github.com/m…

i think there’s a confusion around what use-case Monty is solving (i was confused as well). this seems to isolate in a scope of execution like function calls, not entire Python app…

Comment #46920495
we’re not disagreeing here - i meant for general use-case VMs are better, for some application-specific calls Monty this might suffice. although you’d still need another boundary t…

Comment #46920399
agree. you still need a secure boundary like VM to isolate the tenants in case the model breaks out of the sandbox. everything that you don’t want your agent to access should live …

Factory, Nvidia, Perplexity and Manus are using E2B in production - we ran more than 200 million Sandboxes for our customers

for personal use, many ways: Vargant, Docker Sandbox, NixOS VMs, Lima, OrbStack. if you want multi-tenant: E2B (open-source, self-hosted)

we offer secure cloud VMs that scale up to 100k concurrent instances or more. the value we sell with our cloud is scale, while our Sandboxes are a commodity that we have proudly op…
