The honest brief
Blaxel
Keeps sandboxes on warm standby that resume in ~25ms at $0 idle cost, so co-hosted agents skip the cold starts generic sandboxes pay.
- Near-instant ~25ms sandbox resume
- Zero cost while idle/hibernated
- Co-hosts agents, MCP servers, and tasks
- Snapshots and forking of agent state
- Up to $200 in free credits
- Cloud-only, no self-host
- Early-stage (YC S25) startup
- Developer infra, not an end-user app
Freestyle
Pairs fast Linux VMs with API-first Git an agent can commit to directly — a run-and-version layer purpose-built for AI-written code, not human devs.
- Micro-VMs boot in under 600ms
- Live forking and pause/resume
- GitHub sync built in
- Open-source tooling (Adorable, CLI)
- Core VM/Git cloud is proprietary SaaS
- Centered on TypeScript/JS stacks
- Early-stage company (founded 2024)
