### Top Highlights

* Vercel Flags is now in public beta, offering a built-in feature flag provider with targeting rules, user segments, and environment controls directly in the Vercel Dashboard.
* Advanced egress firewall filtering for Vercel Sandbox now supports SNI filtering and CIDR blocks, allowing teams to control outbound TLS connections and reject unauthorized destinations before data transmission.
* New token formats with automatic secret scanning now protect accounts by automatically revoking Vercel API credentials accidentally committed to public GitHub repositories, gists, and npm packages.
* Vercel published a deep dive on building AEO (AI Engine Optimization) tracking for coding agents, exploring how businesses can understand and optimize how LLMs search for and summarize their web content.
* GLM-5 and MiniMax M2.5 are now available on AI Gateway enabling access to these and hundreds of other models with one centralized interface.
