ComputeSDK releases 2026 100k Scale Invitational results across 6 sandbox providers

ComputeSDK published results from its 2026 100k Scale Invitational after weeks of reruns and infra tuning across Modal, Tensorlake, Northflank, Declaw AI, E2B, and Isorun. It matters because sandbox and agent infra claims now have a shared public concurrency target instead of vendor-specific load demos.

TL;DR

ComputeSDK did not just post a winner graphic. It posted a benchmark frame, a weeks-long tuning process, and a set of provider-specific result pages you can open from the master results link. The weirdly useful bit is how explicit the thread's setup post is about simulating a customer switching huge load, while the E2B card gives at least one concrete timing datapoint, and the 1 million sandboxes post shows where the organizers want to push next.

The 100k benchmark setup

The public framing is simple: hit 100,000 peak concurrent sandboxes. The more interesting part is the test process around it.

ComputeSDK wrote that each provider went through several runs over multiple weeks, with the benchmark stretching provider infrastructure in collaboration with the organizer via its methodology note. In a separate post, ComputeSDK's load-switching description said the exercise was meant to resemble a customer suddenly bringing massive load to a provider.

That gives the invitational a slightly different shape than a one-off stress test. The story here is repeated infra tuning under a fixed public target, not a single heroic demo.

The six providers that cleared it

The completion set is short and concrete:

Each of those posts is phrased as a successful completion, which makes this release read more like a scored graduation board than a ranked leaderboard. The tweets in evidence do not publish a comparative table, only per-provider result links.

E2B's 29-second status card

E2B is the only provider in the evidence bundle with OCR-visible numbers attached to the tweet card. The image shows:

  • Status: Complete
  • Target reached: 100,000+ / 100,000 peak concurrent
  • Time to target: 29s
  • Sandbox CPU: 2 CPU

Because the E2B post is a standalone embed, the attached card carries most of the value without extra narration. It is still the clearest glimpse in the evidence of what a provider result artifact looks like.

The results live on separate pages

The release is distributed across individual result pages, not collapsed into one announcement thread. ComputeSDK posted a master link in its results post, then separate "full results" links for Tensorlake, Northflank, Declaw AI, E2B, and Isorun. Modal's thread also points readers to a dedicated page through its thread link.

That structure matters for one practical reason: it suggests the benchmark is being published as provider-by-provider artifacts, which is a better fit for engineers comparing run details than a single marketing recap.

1 million sandboxes

The benchmark thread did not end at 100,000. Later posts from ComputeSDK said, "Oh, we're in for 1 million sandboxes!" in one follow-up and "More requests for 1m sandboxes!" in another.

That is the cleanest new fact at the end of the story: the invitational results landed as proof of a public 100k bar, and the immediate response from the organizer was to float a 10x next milestone.
