Perplexity Open-Sources SPACE, an AI Agent Sandbox, After Demonstrating Zero Escape Rate

Perplexity has released SPACE, its open-source sandbox platform designed to contain autonomous AI agents, as new security incidents raise industry concerns about agents breaking free from their intended constraints. The system, formally called Sandboxed Platform for Agentic Code Execution, was announced Thursday and is available under the Apache 2.0 license, making it freely available for organizations building agent-based systems.
