Beyond sandboxes.
Today, agents use sandboxes to run untrusted code. Disposable computers that spin up, do a task, and disappear. But agents are getting more ambitious. They need a whole computer at their disposal - always on, always persistent, always ready.
Sandboxes are for throwaway tasks. Agents need something that sticks around.

Works with every agent
It's time to give your agents a real computer.
Every OpenComputer is a real machine — a full filesystem, full OS access, and persistent state. It stays always on, ready when you need it. No timeouts, no teardowns. Your computer is just there.
Resize memory and CPU at runtime to match your workload. When you don't need it, hibernate and wake it up at any point — your state is exactly where you left it. It scales to thousands in the cloud, and you only pay for what you use.
Agent Friendly
Purpose built for running harnesses such as Claude Agent SDK.
Elastic Compute
Resize memory and CPU while VM is running.
Persistent VMs
Always-on VMs with elastic resizing. Hibernate when not needed, wake at any point.
Checkpoints
Instant snapshots. Fork or restore to any point. Bad VM state? Roll back in a second.
Pricing
Elastic memory and CPU — resize at runtime. 20 GB disk per VM. Pay only while running.
Memory
4 GB1 vCPU
Pre-booked
5× cheaper than Instant30 min notice. No commitment. See docs →
Instant
Disk above the 20 GB included is metered at $0.0000001 / GB-second (≈ $0.26 / GB-month), billed for the lifetime of the sandbox — running or hibernated.

Built for B2B agent platforms.
If you're building the next Lovable, Devin, or Bolt, your users don't just need a sandbox that runs a script and dies. They need a computer that remembers what it installed yesterday, keeps their files between sessions, and picks up exactly where it left off. Sandboxes give you isolation. OpenComputer gives you isolation and persistence.
Ephemeral sandboxes are stateless - every session starts from scratch. OpenComputer VMs are persistent - they stay on until you explicitly stop or delete them, so state survives across sessions without any extra work.
No more re-installing node_modules from scratch because the container timed out. Your VM stays alive as long as you need it. Need more CPU mid-session? Resize on the fly without restarting.

What "elastic compute" means in 2026
From EC2 to agent sandboxes — how agents broke the compute paradigms we've relied on for 20 years, and what elasticity looks like now.

Agent Execution Is the New HTTP Request
From CGI scripts to serverless, web infrastructure evolved over 30 years. Now agents are taking us full circle.

The Agentic Workload
Agent code doesn't fit neatly into existing categories. It's not a traditional app, and it's not a CI job. It's something new.
