Congrats on the launch! Rivet seems neat; will definitely give it a spin.

> Sandboxes are expensive, mostly idle, and slow to start.

Many sandboxing startups would disagree. Do you have any numbers to support?

There is no one-size-fits-all, but we're finding Rivet's benefits fit well for most agent workloads. I don't believe sandboxes are going away, but I think different workloads will move to specialized architectures.

Regarding cost, there are F500 companies using Rivet's tools for saving cost for use cases like RL.

Regarding coldstarts, it depends heavily on the use case, and there's not a one-size-fits-all. Benchmarks are pulled from Compute SDK sandbox benchmarks, more here: https://rivet.dev/docs/benchmarking/
