We've donated some GPUs to power https://t.co/AbkcaUGGQL, the dead-simple agent sandbox

Give it a try!

[Eli Mernit @mernit]

Your agent needs a GPU for 30 minutes, so we built https://t.co/6BXlAODVN5

RTX 4090 from $0.40/hr

happy sunday fam, let's launch some containers 🚀

🚨🗽NYC MEETUP ALERT:

What: @getpostman Agents Meetup in NYC
When: Wednesday July 1st, 5:30pm EST

Our team will be sharing a demo of our newest agent-native features in Beam and giving a deep dive into our infra.

Space is limited, so register ASAP!

ANNOUNCING: Beam Compute Pools

Cheapest GPUs + CPUs across 30+ clouds, with one-click autoscaling

> Use your AWS, GCP or Azure credits

> Run sandboxes, GPU inference, and task queues

> H200s from $2.07/hr

> CPUs from $0.04/hr

> Run baseline traffic on-demand, autoscale to serverless for bursts

We combined the simplicity of serverless with the flexibility of on-demand. I'm confident you'll save a ton of money on cloud costs if you start using this - give it a shot!

Introducing Capsule — The Infra Framework for AI Apps

Capsule is a Python framework that provides infrastructure primitives for sandboxes, auth, session management, integrations, and payments.

Capsule is @supabase for AI apps. You get a powerful Python SDK to iterate fast, and one command to deploy to the cloud.

Using Capsule feels like using @beam_cloud or @modal. You don’t need to set up any infrastructure. There’s no Docker, just Python. The feedback loop is super fast. You deploy to the cloud with one command.

At Beam, we have a bird’s-eye view into the AI apps people are building. Over the past year, we've watched people build the same 5-7 infra primitives over and over again. Capsule provides all of those primitives using a single SDK.

@llom2600 originally built Capsule to prototype our own AI apps. We started selling some of these apps for real money and realized every app needs this, not just ours.

Give it a try! Curious to hear what people think. Do AI apps have their Supabase yet?

@beam_cloud is so good! If you want to try using or deploying open-source models, give them a shot—the DX is fantastic.

Day 2 of building a YouTube thumbnail maker app.

My friend and I found a newly released open-source image model, self-hosted it, and reduced costs 2x per thumbnail.

Let's fcking go!

[Y Combinator @ycombinator]

Beam (@beam_cloud) is an open source serverless platform for AI apps.

Run GPU inference, background jobs, and sandboxes with ultrafast boot times and no vendor lock-in.

Beam Sandboxes fully support Docker and Docker Compose 🚢

Sandboxes are containerized cloud environments for running user code, reinforcement learning experiments, and evaluating LLMs.

We launched Sandboxes earlier this year, and we kept getting the same question from developers:

Do you support running Docker inside the Sandboxes?

Even though we’ve always supported Docker images, running the Docker daemon inside sandboxes required modifying our container runtime. To ship this securely, we added gVisor support to Beam.

This unlocks a few things:

> Run Docker and Docker Compose in isolated cloud environments

> Multi-tenant security without exposing the host Docker daemon

> Fully reproducible environments (if it works locally, it works on Beam)

If you're building something that needs secure, isolated Docker environments, give this a shot!

Speed of iteration is the single biggest factor to developer productivity.

That’s why, 4 years ago, we decided to build Beam.

Earlier this year, we partnered with https://t.co/ygbF4647ir. They needed a way to serve a document extraction API to customers. And they chose Beam — not because it was cheap, not because it looked cool, not because it was some fancy new AI platform.

The founder, Adrian, is a technical guy.

He knows Kubernetes, he can set up an autoscaler, and he knows how to package ML models using Docker and FastAPI. But he didn’t want to spend time thinking about that stuff.

Since using Beam, they've closed several huge customers and 10x’d their document processing pipeline.

We’re thrilled to partner with them on their journey.
