Share the canonical public link.
Modal published a comparison on May 14, 2026, evaluating E2B as a top sandbox for the OpenAI Agents SDK launched in April 2026. E2B uses Firecracker microVMs for hardware-level isolation of untrusted AI-generated code, integrated natively via MCP gateway. The platform supports ephemeral code execution and open-source options for data sovereignty needs among seven official providers including Blaxel and Cloudflare. E2B enables instant sandbox creation with SDK ergonomics tailored for code interpreters. Modal's May 14, 2026, analysis positions E2B alongside Daytona for managed infrastructure in agent development.
