Environments for AI agents

Fastest Agent Infrastructure.

Fast, scalable, and isolated environments for running AI agents. Cloud browsers, sandboxes, and computers, all from one API.

Speed

The fastest cloud browser, by 4×.

Against every other browser provider on Steel's own open-source benchmark. Create, connect, navigate, and release, measured end to end.

The fastest sandbox, end to end.

On the open-source nibzard benchmark, same heavy workload on every provider: create the machine, run the code, tear it down. Solari finishes the round trip first.

Isolation

Real VMs. Not containers.

Your sandboxes and computers each run as their own Cloud Hypervisor microVM, with a dedicated kernel and hardware-level isolation. That is the model AWS Lambda uses to run untrusted code, and a stronger boundary than container sandboxes that share the host kernel. Browsers run in their own hardened, locked-down slots, each with a dedicated user, a private profile, and no access to the host or its metadata.

Why we're faster

Faster by design.

Warm machines, memory-snapshot restore, and fast paths tuned end to end. That is why a browser or a machine is ready in milliseconds instead of seconds, and why it holds up when a hundred start at once.

Instant starts no waiting to boot
Browsers and machines wait warm and ready, so they start from a running state instead of booting up, giving you sub-second starts.
Ready under load a hundred at once
Warm pools and instant admission checks mean requests return fast even when a hundred land at the same time, with no queue and no throttling.
Real, not stripped down the whole environment
A genuine Chrome and a full Linux machine with a real screen, filesystem, and input, so your agent can do anything a person could.
Pause, resume, fork long-horizon by design
Idle sessions pause and stop billing, resume with state intact on any host, and any machine can be snapshotted and forked for training and replay.
