Computer programming is, fundamentally, about two things: Problem-solving using computers Learning to control complexity while solving these problems I have a hard time imagining a future where knowing how to solve problems with computers and how to control the complexity of those solutions is less valuable than it is today, so I think it will continue to be a viable career even with the advent of AI tools. — Carson Gross Tags: computer-science, carson-gross, careers, ai

Enterprise teams can now automatically add Git committers to their Vercel team without waiting for owner approval. This applies to private repositories connected to the team’s projects. Choose between two approval modes: Auto Approval: Committers who aren’t already team members are automatically added to your team with the Developer role. Their deployments proceed immediately. Manual Approval (default): Deployments from committers who aren’t already team members are blocked until a team...

Next.js plans to publish an out-of-band security update next Wednesday, October 14, 2026, addressing two Critical and one High severity vulnerabilities in upstream dependencies.

You can now skip sending client request bodies to Routing Middleware with skipMiddlewareRequestBody. This reduces incoming Fast Origin Transfer usage for middleware invocations and can improve time to first byte, especially for requests with large bodies. Enable this option only if your Routing Middleware doesn’t read request bodies. Vercel Functions and rewrite targets still receive the body, so you can read and process it there. Set skipMiddlewareRequestBody to true in your project’s JSON...

Trained with reinforcement learning in real environments, Mellum2.1 is built for coding agents and fast sub-agents that run on your own hardware. Today, we’re releasing Mellum2.1, the next version of the 12B mixture-of-experts model we open-sourced in June. The architecture hasn’t changed since version 2: it’s still a compact, fast model with 2.5B active parameters, […]

This post was adapted from Kai Schmithuesen’s talk at JetBrains Game Development Day 2026. See the full video presentation and Q&A below, or keep reading! First we are going to define what we mean by code quality then have a look at how this impacts business outcomes, where AI comes in, AI’s impact on quality […]

CI/CD remains one of the foundations of modern software development. According to the JetBrains Developer Ecosystem Survey 2026, 83.4% of respondents who use DevOps practices run CI/CD pipelines. The new report looks at how teams are running those pipelines, which tools they use, and where AI fits into their workflows. It brings together findings from […]

A new Vercel Sandbox is now ready to run commands and read or write files when creation completes. Sandbox.create() now resolves only after snapshot restoration completes, so the first command or file operation no longer waits for it. Startup errors also reject Sandbox.create() instead of surfacing during that operation. Snapshot restoration time now counts toward creation instead of the first operation. Creation is about 50 ms longer at p50, with a larger increase possible for uncached...

Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite from xAI is now available on AI Gateway. This lightweight model turns text prompts and images into video with native audio. The model produces clips from 1 to 15 seconds long in 480p, 720p, and 1080p. Seven aspect ratios cover widescreen, square, and portrait formats, so you can create horizontal scenes or vertical videos from the same generation workflow. To start generating videos, set the model to spacexai/grok-imagine-video-1.5-lite in the AI SDK or in the AI...

Hi, Spring fans! In this episode, we catch up with one of the most influential engineers in modern Java history - Kohsuke Kawaguchi - for a wide-ranging conversation that’s equal parts tech retrospective, career reflection, and future-gazing. It all starts with a chance reunion at a Java documentary screening in the Bay Area, where familiar faces from Sun and Oracle, old friends, and long-time admirers gathered to celebrate the ecosystem that shaped a generation. From there, the conversation...

Step 5 Preview, StepFun's flagship model, is now available on AI Gateway. It's built for agentic coding, professional knowledge work, and financial analysis, from building apps and debugging code to research and analytical reports. Step 5 Preview supports text and image input with a 1M-token context window, allowing you to work with large codebases, a stack of documents, or screenshots and charts in a single request. Use stepfun/step-5-preview as the model name: For other coding agents such...

This is the transcript of a talk I gave at J-Spring, with some light editing and corrections by Francesco Nigro. Francesco also organised…

I've always been kind of into computers since I was young. And then when film started to move from analog film to digital, I became more interested in that aspect of it. And the visual effects workflow for many years has included machine learning. So I can write like pretty shitty Python scripts and stuff like that because with convolutional neural networks, which were the sort of precursors to what the transformer can do, which is just much more computation simultaneously, you would do...

FLUX 3 Image from Black Forest Labs is now available on AI Gateway. Generate images from text or edit existing images using the same model, with one API key and no Black Forest Labs account required. FLUX 3 Image supports up to ten reference images for editing, combining subjects, or changing the composition. It supports five resolution tiers from 768 × 768 to 4K, with square, portrait, and landscape aspect ratios. Set AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY, then use bfl/flux-3-image as the model ID in AI SDK 7...

AI Gateway now supports OpenAI's Ultrafast service tier for GPT-6 Astra, providing faster output for interactive applications and rapid coding iterations. To use Ultrafast, request it for openai/gpt-6-astra through AI SDK, the Chat Completions API, or Responses API: For workflows with frequent tool calls, OpenAI recommends the Responses API over a persistent WebSocket connection to reduce overhead between turns. See the Ultrafast service-tier examples for persistent connections, including AI...
