Vercel AI Updates: April 22, 2026

1. GPT Image 2 Lands on the Vercel AI Gateway the Day of Its OpenAI Launch

Vercel. Vercel added OpenAI’s GPT Image 2 to the AI Gateway, making it reachable through the AI SDK as openai/gpt-image-2 and through the Vercel model playground. The changelog highlights the model’s strengths in small-text and UI-element rendering at up to 2K resolution, multiple aspect ratios, and style control across photography, pixel art, and manga — and calls out game prototyping, storyboarding, and marketing assets as target workflows. Unified billing, usage tracking, retries, and failover come free from the Gateway. Source
