Vercel AI Updates: June 13, 2026

1. Workflow SDK Now Runs Natively in Nitro v3

Vercel. Vercel announced a beta integration that lets the Workflow SDK run natively inside Nitro v3, executing workflow steps in the same bundled runtime as the rest of the app rather than as a separate process. Developers can call Nitro’s server-side APIs directly within workflows, and the release adds a web UI for monitoring and debugging. Build performance improves through dependency tracing and tree-shaking. Source

2. Vercel Drop Ships Apps by Drag-and-Drop

Vercel. Vercel launched Vercel Drop, a deployment method that lets developers ship a file or folder by dragging it into the browser with no Git or CLI setup. It automatically detects frameworks such as Next.js to build the project and also handles static sites, completing deployments in seconds. The feature lowers the barrier for one-off deploys and non-developers. Source

3. Vercel Suspends Claude Fable 5 Access on AI Gateway

Vercel. Vercel suspended access to Anthropic’s Claude Fable 5 on its AI Gateway for all users following a US government directive, with no certainty about if or when access will be restored. Other Anthropic models remain available through the platform. The move reverses the model’s availability that Vercel had announced just days earlier on June 9. Source

4. DeepSeek Models Now Available via Azure on AI Gateway

Vercel. Vercel added DeepSeek V4 Pro and V4 Flash to its AI Gateway through Azure as a provider. Azure can serve as an automatic failover with no code changes, and developers can prioritize it using the order parameter. The gateway retains unified API access, usage tracking, and cost management with no platform fees on inference. Source

5. Vercel Plugin Lands in Grok Build

Vercel. Vercel released a plugin for Grok Build, xAI’s AI coding assistant, that surfaces Vercel knowledge in real time as developers work. The plugin dynamically injects relevant information based on file edits and terminal commands, and can be installed via a chat recommendation or from the Grok Build marketplace. Source
