Vercel Sandbox now supports creating Sandboxes with only 1 vCPU and 2 GB of RAM. This is ideal for single-threaded or light workloads which don't benefit from additional system resources. When unspecified, the default is still 2 vCPUs and 4 GB of RAM.

Get started by setting the `resources.vcpus` option in the [SDK](/docs/vercel-sandbox/sdk-reference#sandbox.create):

```typescript
import { Sandbox } from "@vercel/sandbox";

const sandbox = await Sandbox.create({
  resources: { vcpus: 1 },
});
```

Or using the `--vcpus` option in the [CLI](/docs/vercel-sandbox/cli-reference#sandbox-create):

```bash
sandbox create --connect --vcpus 1
```

Learn more about Sandbox in the [docs](/docs/vercel-sandbox).
