Top Highlights
- Next.js 16.3 brings leaner prefetching and instant navigations – The latest release delivers performance improvements through optimized prefetching, immutable static assets, and enhanced observability support on Vercel, with ISR deployments now up to 33% faster.
- Agent Plugins 1.0.0 establishes open standard for AI extensibility – A vendor-neutral specification for packaging Agent Skills and MCP servers into portable plugins that any compatible agent client can discover and load, with automatic skill installation when adding Marketplace integrations via CLI.
- New v0 API launches with headless app generation – Programmatically send prompts to v0's AI agent, which generates complete apps, spins up dev servers in Vercel Sandboxes, and returns embeddable preview URLs for integration into your own interfaces.
