Latest update (11-10 13:52): Lizard launches Mini, a sandbox for running agent swarms cheaply

Overview: Lizard introduces Mini, a sandbox that gives each AI 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.

As a comparison, Lizard cites $40.50 for 100 Codex agents running five minutes each, 20 times a day, for a month, versus $167 to $594 on other sandboxes. The company also says its Pro 20x plan runs up to 1,200 Minis at once. These figures are Lizard's own claims and have not been independently verified.
