Perplexity Open-Sources SPACE, the Sandbox Behind Its Computer Agent
Summary
Perplexity open-sources SPACE, the sandbox platform behind its Computer agent, saying it replaced its commercial sandbox provider in July. The company says SPACE handles millions of sandbox creations daily and that testing found no virtual machine escape in 108 attempts. Akamai has launched SPACE on its cloud platform.
Key Points
- Perplexity says sandbox creation is three to five times faster than its previous provider on identical production traffic.
- Each SPACE sandbox runs inside a small virtual machine with its own operating system.
- Crusoe is partnering with Perplexity to add SPACE to its Managed AI Services portfolio.
