Modal Sandbox Create
x402
Modal Sandbox Create is a paid API for AI agents from vaaya.ai, paid per call via x402, $0.25/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).
Creates a new sandboxed compute environment on Modal with configurable CPU or GPU (T4/L4/A10G/A100/H100), optional custom image, command, and timeout up to 300s.

How this service works
Modal — Create a sandboxed compute environment (CPU by default, 300s timeout). Pass `gpu` (T4 | L4 | A10G | A100 | H100) for GPU workloads like model inference.
Output
Returns a sandbox object containing the sandbox ID and metadata needed to interact with the running sandbox — used to subsequently run commands or terminate the environment via sibling endpoints.
Example use cases
GPU sandbox for LLM inference
“Create a Modal sandbox with an A100 GPU and a 300-second timeout so I can run a large language model inference job.”
Sandboxed code execution environment
“Spin up a CPU-only Modal sandbox with a 60-second timeout to safely execute some untrusted Python code I need to test.”
Custom image ML workload
“Provision a Modal sandbox using the image 'pytorch/pytorch:2.1.0-cuda11.8-cudnn8-runtime' with an L4 GPU and run the command 'python train.py' with a 200-second timeout.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://vaaya.ai/api/run/modal/sandbox-createWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need a fresh, isolated, sandboxed compute environment — especially for GPU workloads like model inference or training. It's the right choice when you need to programmatically spin up ephemeral containers on Modal without managing infrastructure directly. Prefer this over persistent cloud VMs when you want short-lived, disposable environments with a known timeout.
Side effects
- Invalid GPU type specified — must be one of T4, L4, A10G, A100, H100
- Timeout value must be a positive integer
- Image pull failure if a custom container image is unreachable or invalid
- Sandbox creation may fail if Modal quota or capacity is exceeded
- Payment failure if insufficient USDC balance for the $0.05 per-call fee
