Beam is the GPU runtime for sandboxes and inference. Give every agent its own computer: a sandbox that boots in seconds, runs anything, and forks from snapshots. Serve any model behind an autoscaling API, or call one from the hosted catalog. Everything runs on serverless GPUs and CPUs, scales to zero, and bills by the millisecond, on Beam’s cloud or your own AWS, GCP, or Azure.

​
Start Here

Create an account on Beam, then pick a quickstart.

Run Your First App

Install the SDK, run a function, and deploy a web endpoint in minutes.

Give an Agent a Computer

Create a sandbox, run code, serve a URL, and fork it from a snapshot. About 5 minutes.
Using Cursor, Claude Code, or Codex? Set up your coding agent to deploy and operate Beam from your editor.

​
Sandboxes

Overview

Processes, files, and lifecycle.

Snapshots and Forking

Save filesystem or memory state and fork it.

Networking

Preview URLs and outbound rules.

Docker in Sandboxes

Build and run containers inside a sandbox.

​
Inference

Deploy Your Own Model

Any Python model as an autoscaling endpoint.

Call a Hosted Model

OpenAI-compatible API, no deployment.

Streaming

Stream tokens and realtime responses.

Cold Starts

Pre-loading, snapshots, and checkpoints.

​
Building Blocks

The pieces around your sandboxes and models.

Task Queues

Async jobs with retries and callbacks.

Functions and Scheduled Jobs

One-off functions, fan-out, and cron schedules.

Containers and Pods

Deploy any Dockerfile or image as a service.

Databases and Storage

Postgres, Redis, MySQL, MongoDB, volumes, and disks.

Stacks

Group related apps and connect their configuration.

Dashboard

Deploy repositories and inspect your workspace in the browser.

​
Where It Runs

The same SDK runs on Beam’s cloud, on reserved capacity and your own hardware, or self-hosted with Beta9, the open-source runtime behind Beam.
The Python SDK provides Beam’s decorator programming model (functions, endpoints, task queues, and sandboxes). The TypeScript SDK provides programmatic access for creating sandboxes and calling deployed endpoints.
