The container class shares the host kernel. Only the VM classes get their own.\n\n**Together Code Sandbox.** Two public OpenAPI documents, MIT clients for Python and TypeScript, cursor pagination and built-in retries make the surface easy for an agent to drive. Access is the limit. Together enables the SDK per organisation on request, publishes no rate limits or SLA, and neither status page names the sandbox service.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Daytona\n\n1. Pick a Linux VM class for untrusted code or when memory must survive a pause. Container sandboxes stop and archive instead\n2. Set autoStopInterval yourself. The 15-minute idle default can stop a sandbox while the agent is still thinking\n3. Give the agent a key without `delete:sandboxes` if it shouldn't destroy work\n4. Read `Retry-After-{throttler}` on a 429 before retrying sandbox creation\n5. Check the organisation's tier before relying on outbound calls from inside the sandbox\n\n### Together Code Sandbox\n\n1. Confirm the organisation is on Together's allowlist before installing. A valid `TOGETHER_API_KEY` alone is not enough\n2. Build a snapshot first with `snapshots.create`. No default image exists, and every sandbox needs `snapshot_id` or `snapshot_alias`\n3. Set `ttl` at creation or call `terminate()`. Nothing stops a sandbox otherwise, and closing the Python client leaves it running\n4. Store the snapshot alias, not the sandbox ID. A terminated sandbox can't restart, and its state lives at `sandbox:\u003cid\u003e`\n5. Exclude `snapshots.create` from retries with `should_retry`, and set `experimental.network_policy` before serving anything private on a port\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Daytona or Together Code Sandbox?\n\nDaytona scores 64.3 (B) on agent readiness against Together Code Sandbox's 53.6 (D), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories.
