AI Gateway adds unified fast mode support

AI Gateway has a unified fast mode abstraction, now in beta. You can now request fast mode the same way for every model on AI Gateway. Set speed to fast , and the gateway serves the fast tier when it's available and falls back to standard speed when it isn't. Fast mode trades a higher per-token cost for lower latency or higher throughput.

Vercel Passport is now generally available

Vercel Passport is now generally available. Passport allows you to protect your Vercel deployments with your own identity provider. Visitors authenticate through Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, or any OIDC provider before viewing a protected deployment, and Vercel forwards a signed identity token to the deployment so application code can build on who the visitor...

AI Gateway: GPT-5.6 pricing and speed updates

On AI Gateway , GPT-5.6 Luna and GPT-5.6 Terra are now cheaper and GPT-5.6 Sol is faster. AI Gateway adds no markup on token pricing, so these changes reach you at the upstream rate. The changes apply to both short and long context pricing.

Deployments are now up to 7 seconds faster

Over the past few months, we've made deployments up to 7 seconds faster end to end. We removed up to 5 seconds of fixed platform overhead from every build, and deploys from the latest Vercel CLI save up to 2 seconds more. The improvements are most noticeable on smaller builds, where orchestration represents a larger share of the total build time.

Update

vercel@58.4.4

Patch Changes dcadcad: Trigger a new release to publish versions that were skipped by the failed release run.

Additional custom environments can now be purchased

Pro and Enterprise teams can now purchase additional custom environment capacity without contacting sales. Custom environments let you model your team's release process on Vercel. You can add staging , qa , or any named stage between preview and production , and each environment gets its own branch tracking, environment variables, and domains.

Grok Voice Think Fast 2.0 now available on AI Gateway

Grok Voice Think Fast 2.0 from xAI is now available on AI Gateway. It is a speech-to-speech voice model that takes audio in and audio out, improving on the previous Grok Voice model in reasoning, transcription accuracy, and conversation. The model reasons in parallel with speech, so it can think through a query while talking without adding latency.

Minor Changes 0f04613: Add vercel vcr permissions subcommands for managing which teams can pull images from a VCR repository: vcr permissions ls lists teams with access (by team slug), add and rm grant or revoke access for one or more teams (comma-separated team ids or slugs), and clear removes access for every team.

Update

Vercel Connect now supports Custom Environments

Vercel Connect now lets you link a connector to a Custom Environment so deployments there can request provider tokens and receive forwarded webhooks. Custom Environments appear alongside Production, Preview, and Development when you add or edit a project on a connector in the dashboard.

Vercel Sandbox supports forking

Vercel Sandbox now supports forking with Sandbox.fork() . The fork starts from the source's current snapshot and inherits its config and environment variables. If the source is running, it forks the latest saved state, not the live in-memory state. If the source has no snapshot, it falls back to a fresh create, using the source's runtime and config.

Kimi K3 and Kimi K3 Fast with ZDR and US-based providers now on AI Gateway

Kimi K3 from Moonshot AI and its faster serving path, Kimi K3 Fast , are now available from US-based providers on AI Gateway, including Baseten and Fireworks. Zero Data Retention (ZDR) is also supported for both models. Running Kimi K3 on US-based providers lets teams with data residency and compliance requirements use the model on US infrastructure.

Workflow steps now support extended function durations

Workflow steps on Pro and Enterprise plans can now run for up to 30 minutes (1800 seconds), up from 800 seconds, using extended function durations (in beta). To opt in, set VERCEL_ENABLE_WORKFLOW_EXTENDED_MAX_DURATION to 1 in your project's Environment Variables, then redeploy. Requires Fluid compute and a supported Node.js or Python runtime.

Beta

Vercel WAF for Blob is now in beta

The Vercel WAF can now protect a Vercel Blob store. The same rules that guard your deployments (deny, challenge, rate limit) now apply to blob traffic with no changes to your code, blob URLs, or @vercel/blob . Every blob is already served through Vercel's CDN , so protection is a switch on the store, not a new proxy.

Ling 3.0 Flash is now available on AI Gateway

Ling 3.0 Flash from Ant Group is now available on AI Gateway. The model is free to use for the next three weeks, through August 3rd. Ling 3.0 Flash is a Mixture-of-Experts model with 124B total parameters and about 5.1B active per token. It has a 256K token context window and runs in thinking and non-thinking modes.

Update

Evaluation metrics for Vercel Flags

Vercel Flags now shows a live evaluation view on each flag's detail page. You can see evaluations per minute charted over time, with each flag version marked in the chart so you can tie evaluation shifts to specific configuration changes. You can group and filter evaluations by variant, reason, environment, SDK key, client, and reporting project.

Update

AI Gateway now supports streaming transcription

AI Gateway now supports streaming transcription . Previously, transcription required a complete audio file and returned the full transcript in a single response. Now you can stream audio in as it's captured and get transcript updates back as the model produces them, keeping latency low for uses like live captioning and voice input.

Beta

vercel@56.5.0

Minor Changes ab9c775: Add vercel ai-gateway budgets set/list/remove commands Patch Changes 83c72a4: Recover from sensitive Environment Variable step-up challenges in every command that fetches Environment Variables (vercel dev, vercel pull, vercel env run, vercel build, vercel link, OIDC token refresh), not just vercel env pull.

Optimized CDN caching and deploying of immutable static assets

Vercel now reuses static files across deployments for frameworks that output content-addressed assets. It's zero-config: Vercel uses Framework-defined infrastructure to manage these immutable files alongside your code changes, handling the hard parts like hash collisions, file lifecycles, and efficient routing.

Major Changes 4998ec8: vercel routes export now uses --output (-o) instead of --format to select the output file format (json or ts, dotted forms like .ts also accepted). This frees --format to align with the standard output-format convention used by other commands. Update any scripts from routes export --format ts to routes export --output ts.

Build logs now redact Sensitive Environment Variable values

When an Environment Variable is marked Sensitive and has a value 32 characters or longer, Vercel now replaces it with [REDACTED] in the deployment's build logs. The Build Logs view also indicates when redaction happened, giving teams visibility into why output was masked without ever exposing the underlying value.

Update

vercel@55.0.0

Major Changes 8f10c0b: Require an explicit team signal when linking without a TTY. In non-interactive mode or without a terminal, vercel link (and other commands that set up a link) no longer fall back to the globally selected team from vc switch or the login default, and --yes no longer guesses a team.

Routing rules now available on AI Gateway

Vercel AI Gateway now supports routing rules . Routing rules are firewall-style rules that control which models your team can use, applied at the gateway level instead of in your application code. When a model goes down or gets retired, you usually have to ship a code change to move off it.
