Vercel shipped it July 28: a fork starts from the source sandbox's current snapshot, inherits config and env vars, and supports per-field overrides. Forking takes about the same time as creating a sandbox with equivalent limits and falls back to fresh creation when no snapshot exists. The gotcha in the docs: it copies the latest saved state, not live in-memory state of a running sandbox. Named use cases are branching agents off shared setup, per-tenant template copies, and simultaneous setup variations.

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 a...
Announced at Vercel Ship 2026, AI SDK 7 converts a model-abstraction library into a toolkit for agents that reason, call tools, run across many turns, and work across files and sandboxes, behind one provider-agnostic interface. Vercel paired it with Eve (define agent instructi...
Open issues on the AI SDK went from 1,022 to 844 in four weeks. That's the number I'd lead with if I were writing this post, and Vercel did. Vercel published the internals of the system it built to maintain the AI SDK, a repo with over 20 million npm downloads a week, 26,000+...
GPT-5.6 Luna went to $0.20 input / $1.20 output per million tokens on July 30. That's an 80% cut. Terra dropped 20%. Luna's input now undercuts Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite ($0.25/$1.50) and sits at one-fifth of Claude Haiku 4.5's $1 input. Simon Willison covered the announcement and...
