https://vercel.com/changelog/mcp-events-support-in-vercel-connect-is-now-in-public-beta

https://vercel.com/changelog/bring-your-own-cloud-on-aws-is-now-generally-available

Enterprise teams can now run Vercel Functions in their own AWS account with Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC). With BYOC, your function code and execution stay inside your security and compliance boundary. Vercel continues to handle deployments, environments, routing, and static assets. During deployment, you provision functions in your AWS account and Vercel serves everything else. You keep control over function execution with your own IAM permissions, network access, and resource lifecycle...

Vercel Drives is now generally available
https://vercel.com/changelog/vercel-drives-is-now-generally-available

Vercel Drives is now generally available for Vercel Sandbox on Hobby, Pro, and Enterprise. A Drive is persistent storage that you mount as a directory in a Vercel Sandbox. Its files remain available after the sandbox stops, so later runs and other sandboxes can access them by mounting the same Drive. Use Drives to preserve an agent’s workspace or file-based memory across runs, or to make datasets, models, dependencies, and build artifacts available across sandboxes. You can also fork a Drive...

Jev 1.14 from TypeSafe AI is now available on AI Gateway. Jev is a decision model for software. You pass it state and a set of questions, and it returns typed Choice, Score, and Boolean answers with probabilities instead of free-form text. It answers every question in one request, in parallel, for classification, routing, scoring, and automated verification. Jev 1.14 accepts images as part of the state, and has an experimental long-context mode for documents, logs, or conversation histories...

Tree Appreciator
https://simonwillison.net/2026/Oct/14/tree-appreciator/

Tool: Tree Appreciator Another game experiment with Claude. This one used the default Claude iPhone app (chat mode, not Claude Code mode) where I prompted Claude Opus 5.5 Max with: Build a three js game called "Tree appreciator" - it shows you two algorithmically generated trees and the game mechanics is about appreciating the differences between them. Think hard about how to make sure it is both fun and beautiful. Somewhat embarrassingly given my recent talk, I've found that telling Opus...

AI and leisure time
https://www.natemeyvis.com/ai-and-leisure-time/

Yesterday I offered, as one of nine reasons why AI wouldn't be leading to noticably more and better software for everyone, that efficiency gains might instead be captured by people making the software: Software teams are capturing a lot of the speedup in the form of more leisure or quasi-leisure time. (To greatly simplify: software teams are offering 2x speedups to their companies. They're then using tools that allow them to work 10x as efficiently, and taking nice long coffee breaks.) It...

AI is mass decompiling games. That's both awesome and scary.
https://simonwillison.net/2026/Oct/14/ai-is-mass-decompiling-games/

AI is mass decompiling games. That's both awesome and scary. Indie game developer Popcar talks about the recent wave of AI-powered decompilation of existing games, enabling weird mashups between existing games, and producing a boom in game preservation projects to get old games working on new hardware (often in a browser using WebAssembly). I like how this piece captures both the positives and the negatives of this new development: Most people already realized the scary part by now. If AI...

Boost Your Pipeline: Top 6 CI/CD Integrations for Qodana
https://blog.jetbrains.com/qodana/2026/10/boost-your-pipeline-top-6-ci-cd-integrations-for-qodana/

Your CI/CD pipeline builds fast, but does it build right? While your automated builds and deployments handle the mechanics of software delivery, catching code quality issues often falls to manual reviews, which, while hugely valuable, can sometimes miss more subtle problems. That’s where Qodana changes the game by bringing the power of IntelliJ IDEA’s inspection […]

How Cloud-Based Agent Sandboxing Works in Air
https://blog.jetbrains.com/air/2026/10/cloud-agent-sandboxing/

Recently, we released a preview of cloud agents in JetBrains Air. Cloud agents let you run AI agents remotely in a JetBrains-managed cloud environment, giving them an isolated place to work without relying on your local machine. Here’s what that looks like in practice. In this video, I start a task in IntelliJ IDEA, follow […]
