Key Info

OpenRouter is rolling out hosted Linux containers for code execution on any model, and this post details container reuse, network isolation, and pricing.

Highlights

  • Containers are sticky: reuse one by including the last shell result in the next request, or set environment to container_reference with a container_id to keep files.
  • Outbound network is off by default; you can enable it per run via network_policy, such as an allowlist of specific URLs.
  • Sandbox time costs $0.0001 per active second, with inference billed separately.
