Daytona describes itself as "a secure and elastic infrastructure for running AI-generated code." According to its documentation, it provides sandboxes with "complete isolation, a dedicated kernel, filesystem, network stack, and allocated vCPU, RAM, and disk." It sits in the agent infrastructure space, alongside tools such as E2B.
The sources say sandboxes run as Linux containers by default, and that Daytona also offers VM sandboxes (Linux or Windows), GPU sandboxes with NVIDIA and AMD acceleration, and macOS sandboxes on Apple silicon hardware. Its docs say agents and developers use SDKs, an API and a CLI for lifecycle management, filesystem operations, and process and code execution. The docs show SDK examples for Python, TypeScript, Ruby, Go and Java. The PyPI page lists daytona 0.224.0, uploaded 2026-10-12, with an Apache-2.0 license on the Python SDK package. Pricing is not stated in the cited sources.

Questions
What is Daytona?
Its docs say "Daytona is a secure and elastic infrastructure for running AI-generated code." It provides sandboxes, described as full composable computers with a dedicated kernel, filesystem, network stack, and allocated vCPU, RAM, and disk.
Is Daytona open source?
Not stated in the cited sources for the platform as a whole. PyPI lists the license of the Python SDK package (daytona 0.224.0) as Apache-2.0. That license applies to the package, not necessarily to the hosted service.
How is Daytona used?
Its docs say "Agents and developers interact with sandboxes programmatically using the SDKs, API, and CLI." The docs show quickstarts for creating an account, getting an API key, installing an SDK (Python, TypeScript, Ruby, Go, Java), creating a sandbox and running code.
