We spent our entire lives, and human history, under the assumption intelligence was a scarce resource. Now, everyone can summon an inexhaustible IQ machine like it's tap water. And incidentally, the change is so profound our own brains can barely comprehend it.

In our latest benchmarks, Grok 4.5 has emerged as the best cybersecurity AI model on price-performance. It's 10x cheaper than Sol, 5.7x cheaper than Opus 5, and 2.2x cheaper than Kimi K3, yet at Kimi-like perf. Sol remains the frontier, ahead of Opus 5.

Kimi K3 is the best performing model on ahead of Fable, reaching a comparable success rate in less time. This is the first time that an open model is ahead of all proprietary ones for this comprehensive web engineering benchmark. Notes: ▪️ Benchmarks don’t always tell the full story, although this is important signal, adding to mounting evidence that this could be a breakthrough moment for open models ▪️ No model as of yet has reached 100% completion on this set of evals. The top performer peaks at 92% and 96% “with help”

I’m excited to welcome two legends of developer tools, Pete Hunt (@floydophone) and Nick Schrock (@schrockn), to Vercel. Pete was one of the pioneers of @reactjs at Meta. He made an early bet to power Instagram Web with ⚛️ React, evangelizing it internally and externally. He will be running Frameworks and leading @nextjs. I couldn’t imagine a better person to lead React’s most popular framework to even greater heights. Nick co-invented @graphql, solving some of the gnarliest data infrastructure and access issues at Facebook scale, with a delightful developer experience. He will be working on Agentic Developer Experience, solving the problem of enabling the next billion agents and leading the way to a future of self-improving software. It’s a dream-come-true for a founder of a startup to welcome engineering minds of this caliber who are also wonderful humans. You probably want to work with them, and they’re hiring 😁. Their DMs are open, from job applications to bug reports!

Introducing Zero The programming language for agents. I wanted a systems language that was faster, smaller, and easier for agents to use and repair. Explicit capabilities. JSON diagnostics. Typed safe fixes. Made for agents on day zero.

Grok CLI has great support for Plugins and Skills. Installing the Vercel Plugin gives Grok cloud deployment superpowers. Watch this creative coding website be generated with Grok and hosted seamlessly on Vercel ↓

Vercel protects your agents' deployments behind SSO like @Okta. Even Production ones, giving you a secure 'intranet' of apps generated with @v0, Codex, Claude, etc. It's all fun and games until your agent gets 𝟺𝟶𝟷 𝚄𝚗𝚊𝚞𝚝𝚑𝚘𝚛𝚒𝚣𝚎𝚍 from the deployment *it just made* though 😂 The solution: 𝚟𝚎𝚛𝚌𝚎𝚕 𝚌𝚞𝚛𝚕. By just prefixing 𝚟𝚎𝚛𝚌𝚎𝚕 or 𝚟𝚌 you unblock your agent and yourself to easily 𝚌𝚞𝚛𝚕 any URL you have access to within the Vercel ecosystem.

If you become exceptional at managing agents, but are also exceptional in your understanding of the fundamentals, you will be unstoppable. We all prefer to work with masters of their craft. What’s new: you can’t afford to miss out on the amplification agents have on your output

Excited to be donating again to Hack Club. Hack Clubs are in-person & online spaces for the next generation of inventors. Hack Clubbers inspire me with their ships and technical writeups, even eventually joining Vercel. Parents and community leaders: if your high school is not Hack Club-maxxxing, you’re missing out!

You can just render images on the terminal btw: ▲ ~/ npx ai-cli image 'a vercel ai sdk diagram' Run 𝚗𝚙𝚖 𝚒 -𝚐 𝚊𝚒-𝚌𝚕𝚒 and access every image, video & text model from @vercel AI Gateway instantly

This is so good. Notion's developer platform is built on Vercel Sandbox. You can seamlessly extend Notion natively, or use their MCP to bring Notion to your work. This landing page is also Next-level!
