We monitor Vercel / AI Gateway for API changes, pricing updates, model releases, deprecation notices, and service incidents.
Vercel added GLM 5.1 (zai/glm-5.1) to the AI Gateway model roster. The changelog and model page show usage examples using the AI SDK (set model to 'zai/glm-5.1') and reference provider capabilities, pricing, and provider metadata. This is a model release that can change routing/selection and must be accounted for in provider allowlists and routing tests.
Vercel added a premium 'Fast Mode' for Claude Opus 4.6 on AI Gateway. The changelog shows how to enable it via providerOptions (e.g., anthropic: { speed: 'fast' }) or a settings.json flag (fastMode: true) and notes it is an early/experimental high-speed option with materially higher pricing (fast mode priced at ~6x standard Opus rates).
Vercel announced Team-wide Zero Data Retention (ZDR) plus per-request ZDR and disallowPromptTraining controls for AI Gateway. These appear as provider/gateway options (zeroDataRetention and disallowPromptTraining) usable via the AI SDK and applicable across several APIs; team-wide ZDR is a paid feature (listed pricing), while per-request ZDR and per-request disallowPromptTraining are free. Responses include metadata showing which providers were considered/filtered for auditability.
Vercel added Alibaba Qwen 3.6 Plus to AI Gateway. The changelog entry describes how to select the model via the AI SDK (model id e.g., alibaba/qwen3.6-plus) and calls out improved agentic coding and multimodal capabilities.
Vercel added MiniMax M2.7 (standard and high-speed variants) to AI Gateway. The high-speed variant offers ~100 tokens/sec at ~2x cost. The changelog entry notes model IDs to use in the AI SDK and reiterates AI Gateway features such as provider routing, BYO key, and observability.
