Perplexity expanded the Sonar API with access to GPT-5.6 and Grok 4.5 models and added a new finance_search tool for real-time financial data.
Meta Superintelligence Labs launched the Meta Model API (public preview) with Muse Spark 1.1 — a multimodal agentic model with 1M token context. The model outperforms Claude Opus 4.8 and GPT-5.5 on MCP Atlas, JobBench, and HLE+tools. Priced at $1.25/$4.25 per MTok, $20 free.
Perplexity AI introduces a hybrid orchestrator that automatically routes AI tasks between local device and cloud frontier models based on data sensitivity and compute requirements — no manual configuration needed.
Vercel's AI Gateway adds beta support for realtime voice agents, text-to-speech, and speech-to-text, so developers can build conversational voice apps without juggling separate providers. Audio models route through AI SDK 7 with the same observability, BYOK and spend controls as text models, at no extra Gateway fee.
New `vercel metrics` command exposes Web Analytics directly via the CLI. Supports filters, dimensions, and is positioned for coding agents to answer questions about UTM campaign performance or mobile-vs-desktop conversion.
Concurrent build capacity for Pro teams jumped from 12 to 500. Enabled by default on Pro and Enterprise plans, billed on actual build minutes consumed.
Vercel auto-detects server.ts in the root or src/ and deploys it as a Node.js application without configuration. Supports native Node HTTP, Express, Koa, and NestJS.
Perplexity AI launches on Windows (July 2026) a hybrid inference orchestrator that automatically routes AI tasks between local device and cloud frontier models without user involvement. The system decides where each part of a task should execute.
Vercel added two new adapters to the AI SDK Harness — LangChain Deep Agents and OpenCode — letting you run either coding-agent runtime through one unified HarnessAgent API inside a Vercel Sandbox.
Z.ai's GLM 5.2 Fast is now available via Wafer on Vercel AI Gateway, averaging 170+ tokens/s with 2x the throughput of other providers.
Vercel AI SDK 7.0.19 introduces Tool Drift Detection — the first framework-native protection against MCP 'rug pulls' where malicious servers dynamically redefine tool schemas mid-session. Each MCP tool receives a fingerprint at registration.
Vercel AI Gateway added Sakana AI's Fugu Ultra, a multi-agent orchestration model that routes work across 1-3 frontier-model agents and merges results, benchmarking comparably to Claude Mythos Preview and Fable 5.
Comet for iOS shipped its eighth round of improvements: one-tap phone-number actions (Call, FaceTime, Message, save to Contacts), a refined iPad sidebar, and Finance Deep Dive opening as a real browser tab.
Vercel launched Connect, a new agent-infrastructure primitive providing short-lived scoped OAuth tokens for Slack, GitHub, Linear, Notion, Salesforce, Figma, Snowflake, Discord, plus generic OAuth/API-key and MCP server connectors.
Linear adds auto-generated changelogs to release pipelines, ships private sub-teams for Business/Enterprise, and rebuilt desktop tabs so each tab keeps its own navigation history.
Vercel shipped Konsistent on July 1 to enforce uniform code standards for both AI agents and human developers, alongside a Security Dashboard in private beta and dry-run deployments for the Vercel CLI.
Eve is a TypeScript-native open-source framework where every agent = a directory of files (instructions.md + tools/ + skills/). Built in: durable execution, per-agent sandbox, human approvals, evals, OpenTelemetry. Plus the Sandbox runtime now goes up to 24h.
