Code Execution Sandboxes Compared

Serverless timeouts and statelessness crumble when agents run code for hours across multiple steps.

Wasm's instruction-level isolation safely executes untrusted agent code without containers.

AI-generated code changes which sandbox boundary you actually need.

Seccomp alone won't contain AI-generated code—you need layered sandboxes.

AI-generated code demands isolation, but gVisor and Firecracker disagree on how.

Four isolation primitives power AI code execution, each with different security and speed tradeoffs.

AI-generated code needs stronger boundaries than containers were built to provide.

Docker's shared kernel leaves untrusted AI code vulnerable to escape despite careful configuration.
