Tangle

Tangle provides a unified platform for AI agents and compute services that combines a fast sandboxed runtime, programmable request routing, and flexible usage‑based billing behind a single API key. Developers can spawn isolated Docker containers in about 600 ms, evaluate agents, and manage on‑chain or off‑chain pricing models through an open‑source TypeScript SDK and CLI, while optional UI components accelerate agent interface development.

Problem

Developers building AI agents and compute services must stitch together disparate tools for container isolation, request routing, and usage‑based billing, often resulting in fragmented workflows, high integration overhead, and unpredictable cost management.

Solution

Tangle offers a unified platform that combines a fast sandboxed runtime, programmable request routing, and flexible billing into a single API surface. A TypeScript SDK and CLI give developers access to all core services—sandbox creation, agent evaluation, routing, and payment handling—through one authentication key. Containers can be spawned from any Docker image in roughly 600 ms, with snapshot and restore capabilities that simplify stateful job execution. Integrated billing primitives (including support for the x402 payment protocol) enable on‑chain or off‑chain pricing models such as pay‑per‑request, subscriptions, and dynamic quotes, while the routing layer directs jobs to the appropriate operator or remote provider. All components are open‑source under MIT licenses, allowing teams to adopt individual libraries or the full stack as needed.

Target Audience

Primary customers are AI platform engineers, SaaS providers, and blockchain‑enabled compute services that need fast, isolated execution environments with integrated routing and usage‑based billing.

Features

@tangle-network/sandbox: creates isolated containers from arbitrary Docker images in ~600 ms with one‑call snapshot/restore
@tangle-network/agent-eval: evaluates agent runs against custom rubrics and feeds results into leaderboards
