Simple computers for agent w/ full VMs

Box offers the simplest, cheapest cloud computers for agents, thought for builders of agentic platforms & software factories. Run 'box new' in your terminal, in 2s get a beefy ubuntu VM, with admin rights, a desktop, ssh access. At $0.036/hr it is 10x less expensive than the likes of E2B, Daytona, Modal, so you can run more agents, or run them longer. Run up to 1000 concurrent boxes fully self-served, or ask us for more, with same-day support from the founders.
Brandon's "procurement cycles don't care how fast your model iterates" line hit hard — that's WinBidIQ's whole world, just for federal contracts instead of compute. Skipping procurement is the pitch here, but does any customer ever need a security review anyway before spinning up VMs with admin rights?

box new giving you a real ubuntu box in 2s is the part i like. the thing i actually want this for is handing an agent a throwaway machine so it can go wild without touching my real setup. does the vm tear itself down after, or do i manage cleanup myself?

Hey guys!
im Kirill, the CTO of box.
Today, we're seeing 7 consecutive weeks of big usage growth, and compared to six months ago, our MRR is 130× higher. It's been an incredible ride, but we're still early, and we're shipping every single day.
I'd genuinely love your feedback: good or bad. If you're building coding agents, personal assistants, or any agentic product, you can find box super useful!

@luaroncrew @anic_dev LFG!
Built for Devs
Interesting. I just implemented this use case and landed on E2B. I'm running a platform that does agent evaluations of dev tools and the agents need sandbox environments to build in to validate the dev tool. How do you differ from E2B? I just built this feature a couple days ago so its quite new!

@tessak22 box.ascii.dev/compare explains well how we're positioned
tldr: if all you need is 4vCPU 8GB ram sandboxes we're 9-10x cheaper with comparable feature set
I'm a box user, been using it for (I think) a few weeks now. It's insanely fast, cheap (actually ridiculous), and good. Try them out! And congrats on the launch guys

@kartikskabadi Thank you so much Kartik! It's a pleasure to help you
too simple to use and spin up - been working on integrating this in my platform.

@arth_tyagi Hope it's going well! Lmk if I can help in any way :)
Using box to offload large tasks from strawberry.computer phone prototype - works pretty well for me!
