MIT sandbox API and image hub with a proprietary managed platform. The core is gated on a named mechanism rather than merely because a paid tier exists, and nothing is carved out inside the repository: the piece that makes Blaxel a sandbox product is in no repository at all. blaxel-ai/sandbox is 419 entries of sandbox-api - the HTTP API running inside a sandbox - plus about thirty Dockerfile templates under hub/, and the README calls it "Sandbox Hub ... a collection of development environment templates". The scheduler that allocates a micro VM, and the perpetual standby and sub-25ms resume the product is sold on, appear nowhere across the 29 public repos in the org, which hold SDKs, plugins and forks of third-party infrastructure. That is decided on what this org publishes rather than by analogy with its neighbors: E2B publishes the infrastructure powering its cloud and beta9 publishes its whole gateway, and both come out fully open, while this product and Tensorlake do not.

  Full untruncated recursive tree, 419 entries, one MIT LICENSE. The entire tree is sandbox-api/ (the HTTP API that runs inside a sandbox: filesystem, process, network), hub/ (about thirty Dockerfile templates - base-image, py-app, ts-app, chromium, jupyter, claude-code), docker/, e2e/ and a docker-compose.yaml for building and testing those images. There is no scheduler, allocator, control plane or standby/resume implementation anywhere in it.

• https://raw.githubusercontent.com/blaxel-ai/sandbox/main/README.md recorded 2026-08-12

  The repo describes itself as "Sandbox Hub ... a collection of development environment templates for creating secure, isolated micro VM environments", and its prerequisites and installation steps are Docker Compose for building and running those template images locally. It documents no way to run the Blaxel platform itself.

• https://api.github.com/orgs/blaxel-ai/repos?per_page=100 recorded 2026-08-12

  All 29 public repos in the org. They are SDKs and clients (sdk-python, sdk-typescript, sdk-go, toolkit, blaxel-mcp-server), integration plugins, image bases and forks of third-party infrastructure (virtual-kubelet, fluent-bit, kubernetes-event-exporter). No repo implements the sandbox control plane the SDKs call; bl-controller is a Kubernetes controller for legacy Beamlit resources.
