VPS
Does it have a VPS (cloud computer)
- VM (sandbox): A temporary execution environment provided by the platform; its lifecycle and state may not be stable. Everyday chat and simple tasks run in a VM; every agent, chat assistants included, has one, so it is not listed.
- VPS (cloud computer): A long-lived environment whose state persists, which the user or agent can enter again and again. A VPS always includes a VM, but not the other way round; we only track whether a product has a VPS.
| Metric | Finding (by source) |
|---|---|
| VPS | Official Yes (paid Cloud Computer) Official: by default each task runs in a temporary sandbox that is closed afterwards; the separately purchased Cloud Computer is a dedicated persistent VM where files, installed tools and running processes stay between sessions. source |
