## Health v2 (maintenance only)
Score: 93/100 (v2, computed 2026-09-03T02:39:23.370411+00:00)
- activity 99, release rhythm 87, longevity 91
- inputs: {"age_days": 1278, "days_push": 7, "days_rel": 8, "gap_med": 0, "n_releases_24m": 386}
- flags: none
- formula: round(0.45*activity + 0.35*rhythm + 0.20*longevity); archived -> min(score, 10)

## What it is
E2B is open-source infrastructure that lets AI agents run generated code inside secure, isolated cloud sandboxes (Linux VMs) via Python and JavaScript SDKs. It includes a code interpreter SDK, custom sandbox templates, desktop sandboxes, and self-hostable infrastructure.

## Use cases
- run AI-generated code safely in a sandbox
- give my LLM agent a code execution tool
- execute Python code from an AI assistant
- build a code interpreter for my chatbot
- self-host sandboxed code execution for agents
- run untrusted code in an isolated VM
- let agents browse and control a virtual desktop

## When to choose
- you need secure, on-demand code execution environments for AI agents
- you want SDKs in Python or TypeScript with cloud or self-hosted deployment
- you need custom sandbox templates or desktop sandboxes for computer-use agents

## When to avoid
- you only need local code execution without isolation
- you want a fully free managed service without an API key or account
- your workload is not related to running agent or user-supplied code

## Facets
- artifact type: service
- maturity: active
- function: sdk, developer-tools, security, cloud, agent-framework
- domain: artificial-intelligence, developer-tools, cloud-computing, self-hosted
- platform: python, cloud, self-hosted
