Developers can install the plugin via the Grok Build CLI marketplace or through prompt-based recommendations.
Vercel16h agoVercel added Azure as a provider for DeepSeek V4 Pro and V4 Flash on its AI Gateway. Requests now automatically route through Azure for improved failover, or developers can prioritize Azure using the order parameter in the AI SDK. The integration supports Bring Your Own Key authentication and includes no platform fees or inference markups.
Vercel16h agoVercel Labs released agent-browser v0.27.2, turning silent failures into actionable errors. Off-screen clicks now scroll into view, dialogs no longer hang, and blocked clicks identify the covering element. Additionally, the update cuts warm CLI command latency from 150ms to 1ms, improving responsiveness for agentic workflows.
Vercel17h agoVercel AI Gateway now lets API keys carry a dollar spending budget. Once a key hits its cap, the gateway rejects further requests until the budget resets or is raised. Each budget takes an optional daily, weekly, or monthly refresh period, and is set in the Vercel dashboard or programmatically via the Vercel CLI.
