Vercel AI Updates: July 23, 2026

1. AI Gateway Adds Streaming Transcription

Vercel. Vercel added streaming transcription to the AI Gateway, letting applications stream audio in as it is captured and receive transcript updates back as the model produces them. It is available through the AI SDK’s streamTranscribe function and works across providers including OpenAI and xAI, keeping latency low for uses like live captioning and voice input. Developers can wire it into existing text-based agents to add voice interaction without changing their agent logic. Source

2. Eve Agents Gain Installable Extensions

Vercel. Vercel’s eve agent framework now supports installable extensions that package tools, connections, skills, instructions, and hooks into reusable modules any agent can import. Developers can scaffold an extension from the command line, publish it to a package registry, then install, version, and upgrade it like any other project dependency. Extensions support config schemas, tool approval workflows, and result type narrowing, with the import namespace derived from the filename. Source
