# Sail Research

> Sail Research builds inference, persistent cloud sandboxes and agent telemetry for long-running AI agents. Its premise is that background work can trade a little latency for lower token and compute costs.

- **Founded:** 2025
- **Headquarters:** San Francisco, United States
- **Founders:** Neil Movva (Co-founder and CEO), Samir Menon (Co-founder and CTO)
- **Products:** Sail Inference, Sailboxes, Voyages
- **Notable:** Announced $80 million in combined seed and Series A financing at a reported $450 million valuation in June 2026., Reported 90.72% accuracy on BrowseComp-Plus in April 2026, with 6-35x lower cost in its own comparison., Demonstrated a four-Sailbox coding swarm alive for about 110 cumulative hours while consuming about 64 active CPU hours.

## Products & services

- **Sail Inference** — Open-model inference API with per-request completion windows, pay-per-token pricing and OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible interfaces.
- **Sailboxes** — Persistent cloud microVMs for agents, with sleep, wake, checkpointing, volumes and active-resource billing.
- **Voyages** — Agent telemetry SDK that records model calls, sandbox commands, errors and artifacts in attributed traces.
