AI Agent Stack for Hyderabad and Telangana AI Talent

A language group or a product team in the city may already hold a model contract. Speech data, the agent that keeps the session, and a place to run the evaluation script are still other bills. SandBase is the shared account:

• A catalog of 2,000+ models and data APIs across 100+ platforms, against one balance
• Agents you store and Sessions you open, compatible with OpenAI Agents and OpenAgentCore
• Sandboxes on the E2B interface when code or audio files have to run
• SKILL.md for the assistant that is already open

Agents and sandboxes may start without a charge. Data APIs that qualify share 100 free calls a day per organization, resetting at 00:00 UTC. Model traffic is billed apart from that pool.

Call https://api.sandbase.ai/v1 and pass Authorization: Bearer $SANDBASE_API_KEY.

These public pages describe the city and the state. SandBase is not claiming a Hyderabad campus.

• Startup Genome’s Hyderabad profile reports an ecosystem value of $7 billion for H2 2023–2025, from exits and startup valuations, including active unicorns. Early-stage funding, Seed and Series A, was $397 million in that window, and exits from 2021 to 2025 totaled $1 billion.
• IIIT Hyderabad’s research centers say the Kohli Center on Intelligent Systems was established in 2015 with funding from Tata Consultancy Services for research, teaching, and entrepreneurship in intelligent systems. The Language Technologies Research Center works on natural language in speech and text. INAI, anchored at the institute and catalyzed by the Government of Telangana, applies AI to population-scale problems in India.
• T-Hub describes itself as the world’s largest home for startups and lists a MATH Nuage program for building and scaling an AI/ML startup. A T-Hub note on MATH says the centre, opened with India’s Department of Science and Technology, aimed to nurture more than 150 startups a year.

SandBase is the API under that research-and-incubator mix: one key, rather than a fresh vendor for every dataset or model.

1. Mint a key in the Console for the lab or the startup.
2. Describe the Agent with POST /v1/agents or the OpenAI SDK: model, instructions, and tools.
3. Once projection_status is ready, start the Session and send the task.
4. For scripts or audio files, point the E2B SDK at https://sandbox.sandbase.ai.
5. Or give the assistant SKILL.md so it can pick a model from the catalog.

The OpenAI Python SDK pattern from the SandBase docs, with instructions for Hyderabad and Telangana readers.

import os
from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    api_key=os.environ["SANDBASE_API_KEY"],
    base_url="https://api.sandbase.ai/v1",
)

agent = client.beta.agents.create(
    model="deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash",
    name="Hyderabad language brief",
    instructions=(
        "Write for a Hyderabad and Telangana audience in India. "
        "Compare more than one source and cite each."
    ),
    metadata={"city": "hyderabad", "team": "telangana"},
)

print(agent.id, agent.version)  # agt_..., 1
# Start a Session only after projection_status is ready.

curl -X POST https://api.sandbase.ai/v1/agents/sessions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SANDBASE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"agent_id": "agt_..."}'

Keep scripts and files in a sandbox. Start with the Sandbox quickstart.

If you searched for an AI agent API Hyderabad teams in India can adopt while keeping the OpenAI Agents SDK, SandBase is that API. The same key serves builders elsewhere in Telangana.

Use these public pages. Do not add a SandBase office, a phone number, or a latency figure for Hyderabad:

• Startup Genome — Hyderabad ecosystem
• IIIT Hyderabad — research centers
• T-Hub
• T-Hub — MATH centre of excellence

The ecosystem-value, early-stage funding, and exit figures are Startup Genome’s for the Hyderabad profile. IIIT Hyderabad is the source for the Kohli Center, the language center, and INAI. T-Hub is the source for the startup-home line and the MATH program. SandBase does not publish a Hyderabad phone number, a street address, or a city-specific latency SLA on this page.
