Cloud sandboxes for running AI-generated code (fast-starting OCI-based sandboxes with SDKs, snapshots and GPUs). Formerly AGPL open source; core went private in June 2026 and the product continues as a hosted service.

daytonaio/daytona README: 'As of June 2026, Daytona's core development has moved to a private codebase'; repo archived (last push 2026-07-24, last OSS release v0.190.0 on 2026-06-23, AGPL-3.0). SDKs now in github.com/daytona/clients (pushed 2026-10-24). (checked 2026-10-25)
In Agent guardrails
Where it stands apart
- Is it actively maintained? active, but changed direction (pivot, fork, or rename) (0% of 21 others)
- How is the main thing licensed? open parts around a closed core (10% of 21 others)
- Can it run entirely on your own device or infrastructure, without the maker's servers? partly (some features need the maker's servers) (14% of 21 others)
- Do you need an account to use it? account required (24% of 21 others)
- Which shared standard or format does it mainly build on? OCI / Docker container images (5% of 21 others)
- What mainly decides whether an action is allowed? no per-action decision: it isolates, inventories, or records (24% of 21 others)
- In the default setup, where does the agent's work actually execute? in a remote or cloud sandbox (10% of 21 others)
- Does it control the agent's outbound network access? yes, but open by default or optional (25% of 16 others)
What it shares with most of the community
- How is it mainly sustained? company with a paid product, tier, or ads (50% of 20 others)
- Who is it for? developers (90% of 21 others)
- If the guard itself breaks, is missing, or cannot decide, what happens by default? fails closed: the action does not run (71% of 17 others)
- Which agents does it work with? any agent or process (not limited to a named list) (71% of 21 others)
- What is the main thing it protects? the developer's machine and files (52% of 21 others)
- Is enforcement kept out of the agent's reach? yes, enforced in code or infrastructure the agent cannot change (95% of 21 others)

Every answer
| Question | Answer | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Is it actively maintained? | stands apart active, but changed direction (pivot, fork, or rename) Product active; open-source core archived and development moved private in June 2026. | source 2026-10-25 |
| How is the main thing licensed? | stands apart open parts around a closed core Last open core was AGPL-3.0 (archived); SDKs/integrations remain public; helm charts are Elastic-2.0. | source 2026-10-25 |
| How is it mainly sustained? | company with a paid product, tier, or ads Pay-as-you-go compute, $200 free credit. | source 2026-10-25 |
| Can it run entirely on your own device or infrastructure, without the maker's servers? | stands apart partly (some features need the maker's servers) Archived AGPL code can still be run; current helm charts are Elastic-2.0; current core is closed. | source 2026-10-25 |
| Do you need an account to use it? | stands apart account required Sandboxes created through an account with API keys and dashboard sign-in. | source 2026-10-26 |
| Who is it for? | developers | source 2026-10-25 |
| Which shared standard or format does it mainly build on? | stands apart OCI / Docker container images OCI/Docker-compatible sandbox images. | source 2026-10-26 |
| Where does it mainly step in? | at the OS or VM boundary (sandbox, container, syscall supervisor) | source 2026-10-25 |
| What mainly decides whether an action is allowed? | stands apart no per-action decision: it isolates, inventories, or records | source 2026-10-25 |
| If the guard itself breaks, is missing, or cannot decide, what happens by default? | fails closed: the action does not run Code only runs inside the remote sandbox. | source 2026-10-25 |
| Which agents does it work with? | any agent or process (not limited to a named list) | source 2026-10-25 |
| In the default setup, where does the agent's work actually execute? | stands apart in a remote or cloud sandbox | source 2026-10-25 |
| What is the main thing it protects? | the developer's machine and files Keeps untrusted code off your own hosts. | source 2026-10-25 |
| Does it keep a record of agent actions? | no, or not a focus | source 2026-10-25 |
| Does it control the agent's outbound network access? | stands apart yes, but open by default or optional Per-sandbox network allow/block lists; default not verified from current docs. | source 2026-10-25 |
| What is it mainly for? | letting agents run with fewer approvals, safely | source 2026-10-25 |
| Is enforcement kept out of the agent's reach? | yes, enforced in code or infrastructure the agent cannot change | source 2026-10-25 |
