Vercel Weekly - September 21, 2026
Vercel
Top Highlights
- Vercel CLI now supports sub-second artifact deployments for static content, enabling both developers and AI agents to deploy in under one second—a significant speed improvement for rapid iteration workflows.
- Secure Compute and Static IP builds now start 64% faster, dropping average startup time from 6.7 seconds to 2.4 seconds—a major performance gain for enterprise deployment workflows requiring security and predictable networking.
- Open-weight models ran the majority of AI Gateway's tokens for the first time in August while average price per token fell 23.2% for the month, giving teams more inference per dollar and letting them save frontier models for the tasks that benefit most from them.
