OpenAI engineers used large-scale core dump analysis to debug rare infrastructure crashes, uncovering both a hardware fault and a long-standing software bug.
Vercel Private Blob is now generally available for all plans. Store sensitive files like user-uploaded photos, invoices, and agent memory, and control exactly who can read them. Private stores, Signed URLs, and OIDC authentication all graduate from beta with this release. Vercel Private Blob uses the same Blob API as public blobs. Specify when uploading a blob:access: 'private' Functions running on Vercel now authenticate to Vercel Private Blob with a short-lived, auto-rotating OIDC token scope
Vercel Agent pricing is changing. You no longer need to pre-load credits or manage a separate wallet for Vercel Agent. Instead of a $0.30 per-request fee, you now pay a Vercel Token Rate of $0.25 per million tokens, plus provider inference costs at the underlying token rate. The new Vercel Token Rate scales with the actual work each task requires. A quick question costs less than a deep investigation that reads your logs, deployments, configuration, and runtime data, spins up sandboxes, and writ
Claude Sonnet 5 from Anthropic is now available on . Sonnet 5 improves on Sonnet 4.6 across coding and agentic work, reaching outcomes on many tasks that previously needed an Opus model, at Sonnet pricing.AI Gateway The model is more agentic and follows instructions more closely. Document parsing and long-context memory use are also stronger. Sonnet 5 also uses an updated tokenizer, like the recent Opus models, which can map the same input to more tokens. Launch pricing of $2 per million input t
Today, we're launching expanded capabilities for Vercel Agent in public beta. Vercel Agent now lives in your dashboard and can investigate production issues, answer questions about your projects, and take action on your behalf. Because Agent runs inside the platform that deploys and serves your app, it has access to the signals around it: deployments, logs, metrics, project configuration, usage, and connected repositories. That context is what turns a question into an answer and a problem into
Nano Banana 2 Lite from Google is now available on . This Flash-Lite-tier image model is built for fast, low-cost generation. It generates images alongside text in <4s and can edit existing images across multiple turns.AI Gateway The cost is also lower than previous Nano Banana models. Nano Banana 2 Lite generates 1K images at $0.034 each, about half the cost of Nano Banana 2 and roughly a quarter of the cost of Nano Banana Pro at the same resolution. This model is multimodal. Use or to genera
