What Sandbox Compute is
- Managed runtime: Sandbox Compute is VideoDB's managed runtime for supported open-weight and specialized models.
- How it works: create a sandbox, wait until it becomes active, then pass
sandbox_idto supported VideoDB APIs so jobs run on your sandbox instead of the default hosted path. - What it powers: use it for understanding analyzers, indexing pipelines, and generation workflows such as text-to-speech, image generation, audio generation, and text generation.
- Best fit: use Sandbox Compute when you want predictable routing, runtime-based pricing, or access to models like Gemma, Qwen, Whisper, OmniVoice, FLUX, Stable Audio, and RT-DETR.
What participants should use
- Primary docs: use the sandbox compute docs for setup, usage, and the current reference flow.
- General docs: use the VideoDB docs homepage for broader SDK and product documentation.
