Prime Intellect Sandboxes SDK - Manage remote code execution environments
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, carries no security vulnerabilities, and offers a clean API for remote sandbox management. Install it if you need to run code on Prime Intellect infrastructure or want a type-safe SDK for remote execution. The MIT license and broad Python version support (3.10–3.14) make it safe for production use.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires a valid Prime Intellect API key (via parameter, PRIME_API_KEY environment variable, or ~/.prime/config.json).
- Low friction: pure Python wheel with no compiled dependencies.
- Active maintenance—released 2 days ago with 286 repository stars.

What it is and what it does
Prime Sandboxes is a lightweight Python SDK for provisioning and managing remote code execution environments hosted on Prime Intellect infrastructure. It provides both synchronous and asynchronous clients to create Docker-based sandboxes, execute commands, upload and download files, and manage sandbox lifecycle—all with type-safe Pydantic models and automatic token caching. The SDK handles authentication via API key (direct, environment variable, or config file) and supports bulk operations, labels, filtering, and long-running background jobs with polling.
Typical use cases include running isolated workloads without local infrastructure, executing untrusted code safely, training models on remote hardware, or orchestrating multiple parallel jobs. The SDK is pure Python (~50KB installed) with no CLI dependencies, making it easy to embed in applications or scripts. It depends on aiofiles, certifi, httpx, protobuf, pydantic, pyqwest, tenacity, and connect-python for HTTP, async I/O, and resilience.
Use it for
- Run isolated Python scripts or ML training jobs on remote hardware without provisioning local infrastructure.
- Execute untrusted or user-submitted code in a secure, containerized sandbox with resource limits.
- Bulk-create and manage multiple sandboxes for parallel batch processing or experiment sweeps.
- Upload data, run long-running background tasks (up to 24 hours), and download results asynchronously.
- Integrate remote code execution into a larger application via sync or async Python APIs.
