Awesome AI Sandboxes is a curated reference list of cloud sandbox providers built for AI agents. A sandbox, in this context, is an isolated computing environment where an AI agent can run code, install software, browse the web, or interact with a file system without affecting the host machine or other users. This list focuses specifically on providers designed to support AI-driven automation rather than general developer environments. The README is organized into sections: open-source providers, closed-source commercial providers, and a section for providers focused on browser or computer-use scenarios (where an AI controls a graphical desktop). Each entry includes details sourced from the provider's own documentation, covering how the sandbox is isolated (microVMs, Docker, full VMs), whether it supports GPU workloads, whether long-running sessions are possible, which programming languages have official SDKs, and pricing model. The project explicitly states that all claims link back to official sources, and that pull requests adding new entries must also cite official documentation. Providers listed include both well-known names in the AI infrastructure space and newer entrants. Isolation methods vary across entries: some use Firecracker microVMs (lightweight virtual machines designed for serverless workloads), some use Docker containers, and some provide full Linux virtual machines. Startup time, session duration limits, and whether a provider supports "bring your own compute" arrangements are noted where documented. The repository also links to several sandbox benchmarks, including a live leaderboard measuring startup times across providers and a SQLite insert performance test comparing file system I/O across five providers. The list covers roughly twenty providers in the truncated portion of the README. Contributions are welcomed under the condition that new entries cite official sources only. No software is included in the repository itself, it is purely a documentation and reference resource.
