>"Within one scale unit, the platform spans nearly 160 CPU nodes with 30K cores and ∼250 TB of DRAM. It manages petabytes of layers and images. On a typical day, a single scale unit serves about 3 M sandbox instances, with peak concurrency reaching ∼380K and a creation rate exceeding 5,000 instances per second."

Impressive numbers!

Whoever would have thought (in prior years) that in 2026 AI Agents (not people or corporations, at least not directly) seem to be (or seem to be rapidly becoming) the biggest consumers of cloud computing resources...

Anyway, a very interesting paper and environment!
