Edge Requests are now called CDN Requests

CDN Requests is now the name for the usage metric previously called Edge Requests. This is a naming change only: pricing, limits, and how usage is measured are all unchanged. The new name appears on the usage dashboard, the Observability Events chart, usage notifications, and invoice line items. It reflects that these are requests served by Vercel's CDN.

Update

GPT-6.1 Sol now available on AI Gateway

GPT-6.1 Sol from OpenAI is now available on AI Gateway. It improves on GPT-6 Sol for coding, computer use, and professional work, including reading complex documents and carrying out multi-step workflows. The model is suited to agents that need to debug code, work through business tasks, or extract answers from PDFs with tables and charts.

Search domains without authentication

You can now discover domain names and check availability and pricing without signing in to Vercel or providing an access token. This works through the Vercel CLI and Domains Registrar API. With the Vercel CLI , search by keyword or domain fragment: With the Domains Registrar API , check up to 200 exact domain names in one request.

Push images to Vercel Container Registry from GitHub Actions

You can now push container images from GitHub Actions to Vercel Container Registry (VCR) without storing long-lived registry credentials. The new vercel/vcr-action/login action authenticates your workflow using GitHub OIDC. It exchanges the workflow’s OIDC token for a short-lived Vercel access token, then uses that token to log in to vcr.vercel.com .

Update

Vercel Connect now supports TanStack AI

Agents built with TanStack AI can now call OAuth-protected MCP servers through Vercel Connect, with no credentials for you to store or rotate. The new @vercel/connect/tanstack-ai subpath exports connectMCPTransport , which takes a TanStack transport config and attaches a Connect-backed auth provider.

Unlimited Vercel Blob stores on every plan

You can now create as many Vercel Blob stores as you need. The previous limits of 100 stores on Hobby, 500 on Pro, and 1,000 on Enterprise no longer apply. Blob store creation is now billed alongside other Blob Advanced Operations , including put() , copy() , and list() calls. On Pro that's $5.00 per million.

Drives for Vercel Sandbox are now in public beta

Drives for Vercel Sandbox are now available in public beta on Hobby, Pro, and Enterprise. A Drive is persistent storage that you mount as a directory in a Vercel Sandbox. It isn’t tied to a single sandbox, so you can reuse the same Drive across runs and different sandbox instances.

Beta

Grok 4.7 now available and 40% off on AI Gateway, fx, and eve

Grok 4.7 from SpaceXAI is now available on AI Gateway and 40% off through September 27. The discount applies automatically when you call spacexai/grok-4.7 . Grok 4.7 has a 500K token context window and supports low, medium, high, and xhigh reasoning levels, giving you control over the tradeoff between latency and depth.

Update

Deployments now show billable duration and CPU minutes

Deployments now show their billable duration and CPU minutes in the dashboard, vc inspect , and the REST API . Use it to understand how each build contributes to your usage. Billable duration is the build and post-build time combined, rounded up to the next whole minute. CPU minutes are that figure multiplied by the machine's vCPUs.

Update

GLM 5.3 FlashX now available on AI Gateway

GLM 5.3 FlashX is now available on AI Gateway. GLM 5.3 FlashX is a high-speed serving option for Z.ai's multimodal coding model, delivering inference at ~200 tokens per second for faster streamed responses. The higher serving speed is useful for coding agents, tool loops, and interactive applications where users wait on generated output.

GPT-Live 1 now available on AI Gateway

GPT-Live 1 from OpenAI is now available on AI Gateway. GPT-Live 1 is a full-duplex voice model and can listen and speak at the same time. Many voice models use turn detection to respond. Full duplex removes that boundary, so a user can pause, interrupt, or add detail while GPT-Live is speaking. GPT-Live 1 also supports client delegation.

Update

Hobby projects now retain fewer deployments to free up storage

Hobby projects now retain fewer deployments past the 30-day retention window. Hobby teams get 10GB of Deployment Storage . Every deployment you keep uses some of it, and going over the limit can block you from deploying until you free some up.

Preview

Build with OpenAI Agents API on Vercel

You can now build and deploy long-running, tool-using agents with the OpenAI Agents API on Vercel. OpenAI manages the agent loop and session state, while Vercel hosts the application and connects each session to Vercel Sandbox for code execution and file access.

Update

Protect production deployments for free on every plan

Vercel Authentication can now protect all deployments in a project, including production, at no additional cost on every plan. Previously, protecting production domains required the $150-per-month Advanced Deployment Protection add-on. When enabled, visitors must sign in with a Vercel account that has access to the project.

Flat Rate CDN is now GA for Pro teams

Flat Rate CDN is now generally available for Pro teams. Flat Rate CDN is an alternative to usage-based CDN billing that provides you with a fixed monthly bill. Monthly Flat Rate CDN capacity includes: Fast Data Transfer Blob Data Transfer CDN Requests Observability events generated by CDN requests Capacity is set at the team level, not the project level, so...

GA

Basic build machines are now available on Pro and Enterprise

Pro and Enterprise teams can now select Basic build machines. Basic build machines have 2 vCPUs and 8 GB of memory, offering a more cost-efficient option for smaller apps or agents that build with fewer resources. New Pro and Enterprise projects still default to Elastic build machines , which scale automatically and are recommended for most use cases.

Cursor Cloud Agents can now run in Vercel Sandbox

Cursor Cloud Agents can now run in Vercel Sandbox instead of Cursor's hosted machines. Cursor manages the agent harness and inference loop. Its Self-Hosted Machines APIs let you supply the execution environment where agents clone repositories, edit files, and run commands and tests. Self-Hosted Machines requires a Cursor Enterprise plan.

Update

Claude Fable 5.1 now available on AI Gateway

Claude Fable 5.1 from Anthropic is now available on AI Gateway. Fable 5.1 improvements compared to previous Claude models are concentrated in long, multi-stage work like agentic coding, knowledge work, and research that takes several rounds of searching and following up. Anthropic ships Fable 5.1 with cybersecurity and biology safety classifiers enabled.
