Announced August 7: Hermes can use AI Gateway as its inference layer for 200+ models with no token markup and per-request dashboard visibility, and execute shell commands inside an isolated Vercel Sandbox microVM instead of on your machine, with Node.js 24/22 and Python 3.13 and a workspace at /vercel/sandbox. Sandbox is opt-in via terminal.backend. Cleanest local-to-cloud escape hatch shipped in a third-party agent so far, and given three lab sandbox escapes in three weeks, opt-in microVM isolation for a coding agent is worth the config line.

vercel ai-gateway coding-agents setup routes Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Pi, Cline, Cursor, Hermes, Kilo Code, and OpenClaw through AI Gateway, consolidating spend, traces, tokens, and model attribution into one dashboard with per-key budgets (--budget 500 --refresh-period m...
Vercel just shipped the stuff that makes Fly.io and Railway nervous, and they did it in a single push. The Vercel Container Registry is now a thing: an OCI-compliant image registry on Vercel's own infrastructure. You can deploy an HTTP server straight from a Dockerfile or Cont...
iad1 stays the default, joined by sfo1, cle1 and cdg1, with region choice on all plans and failover configuration limited to Pro and Enterprise. Set it in Settings, via vercel project update my-project --sandbox-region cdg1 --sandbox-failover-regions iad1,cle1, or by passing r...
Malte Ubl argues defenders hold a temporary edge because they can run stronger models than attackers, and that edge is closing (Vercel). K3 matches Sonnet 5 and beats Opus 4.8 on vulnerability discovery; asked to escape Vercel Sandbox it mapped attack surface, found privilege-...
At Vercel Ship 26 in London today, Guillermo Rauch launched what he's calling the Agent Stack: AI SDK, AI Gateway, Sandbox, Workflow SDK, and Chat SDK, plus a new Vercel Connect and a set of enterprise agent controls. Vercel is repositioning the entire platform around running...
Python functions now compile to bytecode during build rather than at first import, a 54% median cold-start reduction with zero code changes (Vercel). Python cold start has been the main reason teams reach for Node on edge functions. This doesn't close the gap but it narrows it...
