A fresh cloud computer for every AI coding agent you run
Every meaningful task gets a fresh Linux devbox with its own filesystem, processes and ports, so parallel agents never fight over resources or collide on ports.
Boxes.dev runs the native harness and your existing subscription or API key — no new agent framework, and no token resale.
Kick off work by mentioning @boxes.dev in Slack, assigning a Linear issue, scheduling a cron job, or calling the REST API, with results returned in the same channel.
Read threads, approve requests, review diffs or open a terminal on any surface, including full-featured native iOS and Android apps.
Serverless cloud infrastructure for AI and data workloads
Write plain Python, attach GPUs or containers, and deploy HTTPS endpoints that autoscale with traffic and scale to zero when idle.
Launch isolated, secure environments for coding agents, RL rollouts, and untrusted code, with sub-second starts and support for over a million concurrent sandboxes.
Run fine-tunes, LoRA, full training, and reinforcement learning on elastic single or multi-node GPU capacity with no quota requests.
Serve LLMs and image, video, or audio models through OpenAI-compatible endpoints, or bring your own inference stack and let Modal handle the infrastructure.

SpecialistExtremely fast serverless execution optimized specifically for generative media models rather than general Python code.

Provides flexible GPU infrastructure and serverless endpoints, though less focused on pure Python function decorators.

SpecialistFocuses heavily on managed open-source model inference APIs rather than arbitrary custom container execution.
#3Rent cloud GPUs by the second from a global marketplace
Delivers robust enterprise GPU clusters and managed inference, requiring more infrastructure setup than Modal's serverless approach.
Your always-on AI teammate, hosted and managed for you

Easier model packaging via Cog, but offers less arbitrary serverless Python container execution than Modal.

High-trust frontier inference, encrypted end to end

SpecialistLow-cost serverless inference APIs for 200+ open models
Provides integrated development studios and training workflows, but with less granular serverless function orchestration.
SpecialistCombines ready-to-use model APIs and serverless GPU jobs, with simpler API consumption than custom Modal apps.
The low-cost cloud sandbox where AI agents actually live
