Perplexity@perplexity_aiOfficialPerplexity runs each agent in an ephemeral sandbox backed by S3 storageAIPerplexity says one long-lived sandbox per project would require provisioning for peak load and months of uptime. Its design stores repositories on S3-backed storage and runs each agent in its own ephemeral sandbox, so a crash loses only unsubmitted work.
