The promotion runs through August 11, 2026 and is available exclusively to Pro plan customers, with the model returning to standard rates and no additional markup once the discount period ends.

2. Vercel Launches Skill Packs on skills.sh

Vercel. Vercel introduced skill packs on skills.sh, letting developers bundle multiple agent skills into a single shareable pack distributed through one URL or a GitHub organization. Teams install a pack with npx skills add and keep it current with npx skills update, making it easier to standardize the capabilities available to AI agents across projects. The feature builds on the skills.sh directory Vercel maintains for agent skill discovery. Source

3. AI SDK Workflow Package Streams Tool Results During Client Pauses

Vercel. The @ai-sdk/workflow package now streams executed tool results even when a sibling tool pauses to wait for client-side execution or approval. Previously, a paused tool could block visibility into results already completed by other tools in the same workflow step. The change ships in workflow package version 1.0.52 alongside updates to the core ai and @ai-sdk/provider-utils packages. Source
