Agents already shop on the web, but they often use pages and tools originally built for people and search engines. Building a better shopping experience for agents means treating them as first-class shoppers, with product information they can read directly and tools designed for agents to shop. Today, Vercel Shop, our open source Next.js storefront template for Shopify, is generally available. Teams can launch storefronts optimized for how people, search engines, and agents interact with...

Research: sparqlite: SPARQL 1.1 inside SQLite, written in Rust This research task is really an experiment in running Claude Code for web in "Ultracode" mode, as described in Orchestrate subagents at scale with dynamic workflows in the Claude Code documentation. With Ultracode turned on, Claude Code makes aggressive use of dynamic workflows - it generates JavaScript that defines and coordinates a network of subagents to take on complex problems. My initial prompt was this - I meant "hit the...

Glimpse from Elorian is now available on AI Gateway. The visual reasoning model accepts images and video to follow objects through motion, interpret spatial relationships, and connect an action to its physical consequences. Glimpse can return to visual evidence as it works: zooming into a detail, revisiting a short interval of video, or tracking the same feature across frames. This allows the model to support use cases like scientific chart analysis, video captioning, visual counting, and...

Perplexity Decider V1.2 27B and Decider Flash V1.2 4B are now available on AI Gateway. Both are multimodal decision models for classifying content, routing requests, and scoring text, structured records, and images. The models answer typed questions with probabilities. Boolean questions return the likelihood of yes, Choice questions select from categories you define, and Score questions assess content against an ordered rubric. Your application can use those results to route a support...

Beam from Reflection AI, previously available in stealth as stealth/cat-jam, is now available on AI Gateway. Beam is free to use for a limited time during the launch period. Beam is an low latency US open-weight reasoning model for coding and agentic tasks, with weights released under Apache 2.0. Beam supports tool calling and structured outputs, with a 1M-token context window for code, documents, and conversation history. Reasoning effort is adjustable. Beam is designed for speed...

Superoptimization is the process where a compiler automatically finds the optimal sequence for a loop-free sequence of instructions. – Wikipedia Compilers are good at making mechanical transformations that make code faster. Unfortunately, most of them are not as good at non-trivial reasoning, so they can’t invent a completely novel approach to solving your problem. When designing a library for floating-point calculations, I had to implement a function that takes a float f and produces a...

Tool: Chirp Pong Another game experiment - I wanted to see if it was feasible to have a two player game on two separate phones running in static HTML where the networking code uses chirps sent via the microphone. It seems to work! Build a two player competitive pong like game where two players use their phones close to each other and the game state is sent via audio noises which the web microphone API can interpret - but add graphical and gameplay twists to make it a lot more fun and...

Google Summer of Code 2026 has wrapped up! This was the Kotlin Foundation’s fourth year participating in GSoC, bringing new contributors into the Kotlin open-source ecosystem through hands-on projects and mentorship. This year, two projects successfully reached completion, tackling two areas of the ecosystem: improving recursion support in the Kotlin/Wasm backend and building a global […]

Ten weeks ago, we opened up a preview of an LSP-powered extension that brings IntelliJ IDEA’s smartness for Java and Kotlin into VS Code and Cursor. As mentioned in that blog post, this is part of a bigger initiative: moving our JVM intelligence to wherever our users are, no matter what editor or agent they […]

Anthropic tells investors quarterly revenue up nearly 50% to $16.8bn ahead of IPO The phrase "told investors" appears four times in this FT article, which reports on Anthropic's day of hosting investors on Wednesday. Lots of details in here from "people with knowledge of the matter". Key things I learned from the article: Q1 revenue (Jan/Feb/Mar) was "about $4.8bn" Q2 (Apr/May/Jun) was $11.5bn Q3 (Jul/Aug/Sep) was $16.8bn In Q3: $1.70 in revenue for every $1 spent on "computing power"...

Netflix plugged JetBrains’ headless code-intelligence engine – the same one behind IntelliJ IDEA – into Claude Code and Codex, then benchmarked it against a variety of scenarios. The details and numbers are available below. At a glance Company Netflix – Application Development Platform (ADP), GenAI Platform, and Agentic SDLC teams Challenge Coding agents were struggling […]

Download MPS 2026.2 Release Candidate now: DOWNLOAD MPS 2026.2 Release Candidate Along with numerous bug fixes, the RC brings several key improvements to the previous 2026.2 EAP1 build. Linux […]

The KotlinConf 2027 Call for Papers is now open! We invite developers from across the Kotlin community to bring their ideas, experiences, and expertise to the stage in Kraków. Do you have a Kotlin lesson or discovery that could help other developers? Perhaps you solved a difficult technical problem, introduced Kotlin into an existing codebase, […]

AI Gateway Production Index — October 2026 Every month, AI Gateway routes tens of trillions of tokens between production applications and AI labs. That traffic gives us a view of what AI usage actually looks like in today's enterprise, and we publish it here monthly. See the Production Index reports from July, August, and September. October 2026 summary Open-weight models now process more than seven in ten gateway tokens and account for nearly one in four dollars. Their share of spend has...

Vercel Daemons is now in public beta, allowing you to run long-running processes that pull and execute work from Vercel Queues, databases, or third-party systems without requiring an HTTP server: Consumers using Vercel Queues poll mode, Celery, BullMQ, RabbitMQ, or Kafka. Temporal or Cadence workers that long-poll their task queues. Self-hosted CI runners for GitHub Actions, GitLab, or CircleCI that poll for jobs without requiring inbound connections. Daemons run containers on Fluid compute...

Vercel Token Pass is now in early access for Pro teams. For $30 per month, your team gets $80 in monthly credit for GLM 5.3 and Kimi K3, with more models to come. Use Token Pass with coding agents such as fx, Command Code, and Pi, or build your own personal agent with the AI SDK. Token Pass runs through AI Gateway, so you can choose your tools and switch between included models using your team’s shared credit. Token Pass has Zero Data Retention (ZDR) enabled by default. Requests run through...
