Vercel Makes Exa Web Search Free Through August 31 and the Default for eve Agents — No Separate API Key
Vercel Changelog·medium signal
Vercel made Exa web search free on AI Gateway through August 31 and set it as the default web search tool for eve agents, working with any AI Gateway model and requiring no separate Exa API key. The bundling matters more than the promotion: search is becoming a gateway-level primitive billed with inference rather than a separately-provisioned vendor relationship. Vercel separately shipped one-command coding-agent setup through AI Gateway to centralize keys, observability and billing across multiple agent CLIs.
