What is E2B?
E2B is an open-source AI infrastructure tool developed by E2B that enables AI developers and companies building AI agents to execute AI-generated code and run AI applications in secure, isolated cloud sandboxes. It provides AI agents with a virtual computer environment equipped with real-world tools for complex task execution. The platform leverages lightweight virtual machines, often based on Firecracker microVMs, which are designed to start rapidly, typically within 150 milliseconds. This architecture ensures that AI agents can perform tasks such as code interpretation, data analysis, and desktop automation in a controlled and isolated environment, preventing potential risks to host systems. E2B supports multi-language execution, including Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, R, and Bash, and offers compliance features like HIPAA alignment and SOC 2 Type II reports.
