What is Svelte?

SvelteKit's remote functions mature as the toolchain quietly lines up SvelteKit 3

Svelte ships a monthly What's-new digest whose center of gravity is SvelteKit, not the compiler. Remote functions are the most active subsystem—forms, queries, and enhance callbacks have churned through repeated breaking changes as the API finds its final shape. The CLI (sv) and language tools are kept in lockstep so newly scaffolded projects reflect the latest syntax.

What is Sanity?

Sanity keeps hardening its agent tooling and Media Library while Studio sheds legacy weight

Sanity is shipping across four surfaces in parallel: the Media Library, Sanity Studio, the React App SDK, and its MCP server. The Media Library is maturing into a full asset manager, richer metadata across sidebars, in-use references that now span drafts and content releases, and video versioning. Studio is cleaning up legacy Portable Text editor internals, and the SDK and MCP server keep gaining developer- and agent-facing hooks.

SvelteKit's remote functions mature as the toolchain quietly lines up SvelteKit 3

◆ Current state

Svelte ships a monthly What's-new digest whose center of gravity is SvelteKit, not the compiler. Remote functions are the most active subsystem—forms, queries, and enhance callbacks have churned through repeated breaking changes as the API finds its final shape. The CLI (sv) and language tools are kept in lockstep so newly scaffolded projects reflect the latest syntax.

◆ Where it's heading

The clearest through-line is the road to SvelteKit 3: config is moving into vite.config.js, and experimental explicit environment variables preview the eventual replacement for the $env/* modules. Alongside that, remote functions are gaining realtime (query.live) and file-upload ergonomics while their rough edges get sanded down.

◆ Prediction

Expect continued SvelteKit 3 previews—likely a beta that makes the vite.config.js and explicit-env changes the default—plus further remote-function stabilization. This is grounded in the recurring 'preview of how Kit 3 will work' notes across the recent entries.

Sanity keeps hardening its agent tooling and Media Library while Studio sheds legacy weight

◆ Current state

Sanity is shipping across four surfaces in parallel: the Media Library, Sanity Studio, the React App SDK, and its MCP server. The Media Library is maturing into a full asset manager, richer metadata across sidebars, in-use references that now span drafts and content releases, and video versioning. Studio is cleaning up legacy Portable Text editor internals, and the SDK and MCP server keep gaining developer- and agent-facing hooks.

◆ Where it's heading

The through-line is AI-agent readiness: a new skills install command, MCP server tools for feedback, schema deploy, and multi-document patching, plus docs aimed explicitly at coding agents and app builders. Alongside that, the content layer itself is being productized, @sanity/presets ships ready-made schema types to cut modelling boilerplate. Sanity is positioning as the content backend that both humans and agents operate.

◆ Prediction

Expect further MCP server and skills iteration plus continued Media Library depth; the removal of legacy Portable Text data attributes signals more editor-internals migrations to come.
