2. Copy-to-Prompt Instructions Now Available for Vercel Flags

Vercel. Vercel added copy-to-prompt instructions to the Flags details page, enabling users and AI agents to install the Flags SDK, connect their project via the Vercel CLI, and integrate flag definitions into their codebase through a single copy-paste workflow. Teams preferring manual setup can copy exact flag definitions from the instructions pane. Source

3. AI SDK Ships @ai-sdk/workflow Package with Cross-Provider Serialization

Vercel. Vercel released the initial @ai-sdk/workflow@1.0.0-beta.0 package alongside a wave of provider updates. A new serializeModel() helper in @ai-sdk/provider-utils enables models to cross workflow step boundaries without serialization errors via WORKFLOW_SERIALIZE and WORKFLOW_DESERIALIZE static methods on all provider model classes. The same release batch drops CommonJS exports from all packages (ESM-only going forward) and bumps the core ai package to 7.0.0-beta.89. Source
