Run untrusted code with Vercel Sandbox, now generally available

AI agents are transforming software development by automating processes such as cloning repositories, installing dependencies, and running tests, which necessitates a shift in infrastructure from human-centric models to those that better accommodate the needs of AI agents. Vercel Sandbox addresses this need by providing an execution layer for agents, featuring isolated microVMs that can run untrusted code securely and ephemerally. Built on Vercel's compute platform, which processes millions of deployments daily, Sandbox offers fast, secure, and isolated environments that align with agents' operational cycles. The platform supports sub-second starts, full isolation, and ephemeral environments, allowing for efficient execution of tasks without persistent resource consumption. Companies like Roo Code and Blackbox AI leverage Vercel Sandbox to enhance their AI coding agents, enabling features such as rapid task distribution, infrastructure stability, cold start performance, and snapshots that transform agents into persistent collaborators. This infrastructure innovation allows organizations to scale AI agent deployments and integrate them as reliable compute resources within their systems.
