E2B
Open-source secure sandboxes for AI-generated code execution — used by Claude, Perplexity, Hugging Face.
Overview
E2B: Secure Cloud Sandboxes for AI Code Execution
E2B is Open-source secure sandboxes for AI-generated code execution. Letting LLMs execute arbitrary code on your servers is an obvious security disaster. E2B sandboxes give you isolated, ephemeral compute that disappears the moment a task completes.
Key Features
- Open-source secure sandboxes for AI-generated code execution
- Sub-second startup; full Linux environment per session
- Powers code interpreters at Anthropic, Perplexity, Hugging Face
- Custom templates for ML, data science, web dev pre-installed
- Drop-in replacement for OpenAI's Code Interpreter for self-hosted
Ideal Use Case
AI products that need to safely execute LLM-generated code — code interpreters, AI agents, autonomous research, computational tools.
Why Use E2B
Letting LLMs execute arbitrary code on your servers is an obvious security disaster. E2B sandboxes give you isolated, ephemeral compute that disappears the moment a task completes.
