description: >-
  E2B provides secure, isolated sandbox runtimes for AI-generated and
  agent-driven code, built on Firecracker microVMs that cold-start in under
  200ms. The platform's Code Interpreter, AI Sandboxes, and Desktop Sandbox
  products let LLMs execute Python, JavaScript, Ruby, C++ and other languages
  with full filesystem, terminal, package management, and browser access for
  sessions up to 24 hours. Customers include AI labs, agent startups, data
  teams, and enterprises building code interpreters, deep-research agents,
  data analysis features, and computer-use agents. SDKs are available for
  Python and TypeScript and integrate with OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral, Llama,
  LangChain, LlamaIndex, and the Vercel AI SDK. Pricing is freemium with Pro
  and Enterprise tiers and a startups program.

    description: >-
      The E2B Sandbox API creates and controls per-agent Linux microVMs that
      can run arbitrary code, install packages, read and write files, stream
      terminal output, and host headless browsers. Code Interpreter is a
      higher-level surface tuned for LLM-driven Python and JavaScript
      execution with rich outputs.
