## Useful for

- Run an isolated AI agent runtime with persistent storage via the Sandbox CRD
- Pre-warm a pool of Sandboxes with SandboxWarmPool for fast allocation
- Run RL experiments in separate stateful sandboxes using gVisor or Kata Containers

## Why it’s here

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
