Why it matters

Vercel Sandbox enables a critical capability for AI agent deployment: secure execution of model-generated code in isolated environments. This addresses a core infrastructure gap for companies building agentic AI applications, removing a deployment blocker for production AI workflows.

The key facts

6 to know

  1. Vercel Sandbox launched in Beta across all plans

  2. Supports execution times up to 45 minutes in ephemeral microVMs

  3. Runs untrusted code generated by AI agents in isolated environments

  4. Pay-per-use model: charges only for active CPU time

  5. Available as standalone SDK for non-Vercel platforms

  6. Built on Vercel's Fluid compute infrastructure
