Sessions cannot be paused or resumed, and an AWS account with IAM set-up is needed before a first call.\n\n**Modal Sandboxes.** GPU sandboxes at the same per-second rates as the rest of Modal. No REST API, and the JavaScript and Go SDKs are beta.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Code Interpreter\n\n1. Start a session with `StartCodeInterpreterSession`, then pass its id in the `x-amzn-code-interpreter-session-id` header on every `InvokeCodeInterpreter` call\n2. Set `sessionTimeoutSeconds` when starting. The default is 900 seconds and the maximum is eight hours, and the session ends itself at the timeout\n3. Stop sessions when done. Billing runs per second while code is busy, and a session left open counts against the 1,000 concurrent-session quota\n4. Use `startCommandExecution`, `getTask` and `stopTask` for work longer than the 15-minute synchronous request limit\n5. Retry `ThrottlingException` (429) and `InternalServerException` (500) with exponential backoff, and treat `ServiceQuotaExceededException`, returned as HTTP 402, as a quota to raise\n\n### Modal Sandboxes\n\n1. Pass `timeout=` when you create a sandbox. The default lifetime is 5 minutes\n2. Set `block_network=True` or a `cidr_allowlist` for untrusted code\n3. Give a sandbox a `name` so a retried create raises `AlreadyExistsError` instead of starting a second one\n4. Snapshot the filesystem before the 24-hour limit and start a fresh sandbox from it\n5. Catch `ResourceExhaustedError` from `Sandbox.create()` on SDK 1.6.0 and later\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Code Interpreter or Modal Sandboxes?\n\nModal Sandboxes scores 75.5 (BB) on agent readiness against Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Code Interpreter's 73.1 (BB), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories.
