Run Untrusted Agent Code with LangSmith Sandboxes | Interrupt 26

Description

LangSmith Sandboxes are secure code execution environments for agents. They give agents a runtime with a filesystem, shell, package manager, persistent state, and network boundary, so they can write code, install dependencies, run tests, inspect failures, and continue work across longer sessions. Each sandbox runs in a hardware-virtualized microVM, isolated from your services and from other sandboxes. That isolation is especially important for agents running model-generated code, external dependencies, or user-provided scripts. Sandboxes work through the same LangSmith SDK and API key teams already use, so teams can add safe code execution to Deep Agents, Open SWE, LangSmith Deployment, LangSmith Fleet, or custom agent workflows without building the runtime layer themselves. At Interrupt, LangChain's Agent conference, Mukil Loganathan gave a walkthrough of LangSmith Sandboxes and shared how they help teams build and test agents more safely.
