Our take
Pick Daytona if agent platforms that will create/destroy sandboxes in code and might attach a GPU later. Pick E2B if agent authors who will create/kill sandboxes in code and watch per-second CPU + RAM. Skip Daytona if researchers who want one published 8× H100 they SSH for a week (Lambda). Skip E2B if teams that want a published H100 VM they SSH into (Lambda).
