## Summary

Lizard introduces Mini, a sandbox for agent swarms that gives each agent its own Firecracker microVM at $0.0081 per hour. Lizard says the same budget runs up to 15x more agents with unlimited starts than competing sandboxes, citing $40.50 versus $167 to $594 for 100 Codex agents running five minutes each, 20 times a day, for a month. The company also says Pro 20x runs up to 1,200 Minis at once.

Your agents spend most of their time waiting for the model. Near-zero CPU, a few MB of RAM. You're still paying for a whole computer per agent.

100 Codex agents, 5 minutes each, 20 runs a day, for a month. 1 vCPU / 2 GB per agent:
> Lizard: $40.50
> @northflank: $167
> @vercel: $212
> @e2b: $414
> @daytonaio: $414
> @modal: $594

Each agent gets its own Firecracker microVM for $0.0081/h, so the same budget runs up to 15x more agents, unlimited starts!
