What is Vercel?
Vercel widens its AI Gateway and compute limits as regulation reshapes model access
Vercel's cadence splits between AI Gateway expansion (new models from Moonshot and DeepSeek-via-Azure, harness-level agent APIs in AI SDK 7) and core platform reach (30-minute functions, drag-and-drop Drop deploys, Nitro v3 workflow integration, threshold billing). The AI Gateway is increasingly the center of gravity, and it is now exposed to regulatory pressure.
What is Tigris?
Tigris is positioning object storage as the substrate for AI agents
Tigris is building S3-compatible object storage with a distinct thesis: buckets as forkable, snapshot-able substrate for AI agents. Concrete releases in this window are solid storage primitives — soft delete with 90-day recovery, a streaming tar bundle API to pull thousands of objects in one request, prefix-filtered lifecycle rules, and a CLI migrate command. But much of the feed is engineering-blog material (agent sandboxes, forking LangGraph state, a git server stored in a bucket) that argues the thesis rather than shipping a feature.

Vercel widens its AI Gateway and compute limits as regulation reshapes model access
◆ Current state
Vercel's cadence splits between AI Gateway expansion (new models from Moonshot and DeepSeek-via-Azure, harness-level agent APIs in AI SDK 7) and core platform reach (30-minute functions, drag-and-drop Drop deploys, Nitro v3 workflow integration, threshold billing). The AI Gateway is increasingly the center of gravity, and it is now exposed to regulatory pressure.
◆ Where it's heading
Vercel is consolidating as a neutral routing and compute layer for AI workloads: more models behind one gateway, harness abstraction in AI SDK 7, and longer-running functions to host agentic jobs. The Claude Fable 5 suspension shows that aggregating third-party models inherits their regulatory risk. Expect continued breadth on the gateway and deeper agent-runtime tooling.
◆ Prediction
Look for more models and providers added to AI Gateway and further function/runtime limits raised to court long-running agent workloads. Model availability will increasingly hinge on external compliance constraints rather than Vercel's own roadmap.

Tigris is positioning object storage as the substrate for AI agents
◆ Current state
Tigris is building S3-compatible object storage with a distinct thesis: buckets as forkable, snapshot-able substrate for AI agents. Concrete releases in this window are solid storage primitives — soft delete with 90-day recovery, a streaming tar bundle API to pull thousands of objects in one request, prefix-filtered lifecycle rules, and a CLI migrate command. But much of the feed is engineering-blog material (agent sandboxes, forking LangGraph state, a git server stored in a bucket) that argues the thesis rather than shipping a feature.
◆ Where it's heading
The direction is clear and consistent: make storage the durable home for agents that otherwise live in disposable sandboxes — copy-on-write bucket forks, agent shells, provider-agnostic SDKs with snapshots and forks built in. The product releases keep S3 parity table-stakes (soft delete, lifecycle, migration) while the narrative work stakes out the agent-substrate position. Worth noting that the changelog leans heavily on blog posts, so raw entry cadence overstates shipping velocity.
◆ Prediction
Expect more agent-oriented primitives around forking and snapshotting to graduate from blog demos into shipped API surface; the entries point that way but don't pin a specific next release.
