Perplexity open-sourced SPACE, a secure AI agent sandbox using Firecracker microVMs, which prevented any escape in 118 red-team attempts across nine frontier AI models. CoreWeave, Akamai, and Crusoe have agreed to resell SPACE, and the tool offers an E2B compatibility shim to ease customer adoption.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of AI Agents and AI Infrastructure, and 3 sources have reported it.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You now have access to a battle-tested AI sandbox that blocks all known escapes from leading models. This opens a door to secure AI agent deployment at scale without costly vendor lock-in.
