AI agent developers face prohibitively expensive sandbox infrastructure costs

Developers building AI agents (using Claude, Hermes, OpenClaw, etc.) struggle with sandbox infrastructure costs that consume significant portions of their budgets, making it economically unfeasible to offer free tiers or scale their applications. Existing sandbox providers charge 10x more than necessary due to inefficient resource allocation, forcing bootstrapped teams and individual developers to choose between high operational costs or compromised agent capabilities.
