Vercel Staff
October 2, 2026 - October 9, 2026
Top Highlights
- AI Gateway gets confidence-based decision fallbacks – AI Gateway now supports automatic escalation to fallback models when the primary model's confidence doesn't meet your threshold, enabling more reliable AI decision-making in production applications.
- Vercel Flags get new timestamp attributes – Feature flags now support date and time-based targeting, enabling developers to schedule feature rollouts and target users based on temporal conditions.
- Pro teams get new deployment storage model — All Pro teams now default to 30-day deployment retention with new billing at $0.10 per GB-month for deployment and function storage, with routing for firewall-mitigated traffic now completely free.
