Open-sourcing SPACE, the sandbox platform behind Computer
Perplexity has open-sourced SPACE, the in-house platform running all Computer sessions, with isolation, recovery and credential controls for autonomous agents. Each sandbox gets its own virtual machine, and creation is reported as three to five times faster than before.
What the article says
Perplexity is open-sourcing SPACE, the sandbox platform it built in-house. The company launched Computer, its personal agent, in February, then replaced its commercial sandbox provider with SPACE in July; SPACE has powered all Computer sessions since and handles millions of sandbox creations per day. The code is on GitHub with documentation so developers can build their own agent runtimes.
Each sandbox runs in a small virtual machine managed by a control plane; the sandbox is treated as untrusted, with network access and credentials managed outside it. File snapshots and full-environment checkpoints enable pause, resume, recovery and session branching. Perplexity reports sandbox creation three to five times faster than with the previous provider and 108 escape attempts to the host with none succeeding; Akamai, Crusoe and CoreWeave are deployment partners. The announcement targets developers and adds no end-user feature.
