Beta Feature: Prime Sandboxes are currently in beta with limited usage per account.

​
Why Sandboxes

Prime Sandboxes are disposable Docker environments for AI-assisted coding, benchmarking, and quick experiments. They give agents and humans an isolated workspace without touching production infrastructure. Sandbox Dashboard
  • Prototype quickly – launch a clean runtime and iterate without worrying about teardown.
  • Benchmark safely – run untrusted code or model evaluations in a locked-down environment.
  • Teach & demo – hand teammates a reproducible workspace that mirrors your setup.
  • Organize with labels – tag sandboxes by project, team, or environment for easy filtering and bulk cleanup.

​
First Run

Make sure you have an API key with the right permissions on hand (prime login) before running these commands. 
# Create
prime sandbox create python:3.11-slim --timeout-minutes 120

# See what is active
prime sandbox list

# Try a quick command
prime sandbox run <sandbox-id> "python --version"

# Clean up when you're done
prime sandbox delete <sandbox-id>
Track usage limits and billing inside the Prime Billing dashboard.

​
Pricing

Sandboxes are billed while running:
  • CPU: $0.05 per core per hour
  • Memory: $0.01 per GB per hour
  • Disk: $0.001 per GB per hour
Example: 1 CPU core, 2 GB RAM, 10 GB disk → $0.08/hour.

​
GPU Support

GPU-enabled sandboxes are on the roadmap. For now, sandboxes run on CPU-only machines and any --gpu-count flag is ignored. We’ll announce as soon as GPU tiers open up.
