## Key Features

### Instant Sandboxes
Spin up isolated Linux environments in ~150ms. Each sandbox runs in its own microVM.

### Code Interpreter SDK
Execute Python, JavaScript, R, Java, and more with output capture:
```python
result = sandbox.run_code("""
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.plot([1,2,3], [4,5,6])
plt.savefig('chart.png')
""")
# result.artifacts contains the chart image
```

### Filesystem & Networking
Full Linux filesystem, install packages, make HTTP requests, run servers inside the sandbox.

### Custom Templates
Pre-configure sandboxes with specific languages, packages, and tools.

### Security
Isolated microVMs — no access to host system. Auto-terminate after timeout.
