Vercel AI Updates: August 26, 2026

1. Vercel Introduces the Run SDK for Secure Agent Code Execution

Vercel. Vercel introduced the Run SDK, which executes untrusted or AI-generated JavaScript inside isolated QuickJS sandboxes so agents can write and run programs without direct system access. It supports human-in-the-loop interruptions and integrates with the AI SDK’s code mode, giving agent builders a safer path to code execution. Source

2. Vercel Connect Reaches General Availability to Curb Credential Sprawl

Vercel. Vercel made Vercel Connect generally available, replacing long-lived secrets with short-lived, scoped tokens to reduce credential sprawl in agent systems. The release adds fine-grained role-based access control, audit logging, and observability, with more than 100 preset connectors and support across v0, eve, and the Chat SDK. Source

3. AI Gateway Adds Asynchronous Video Generation and Wan 3.0

Alongside the change, Alibaba’s Wan 3.0 video model became available on the Gateway, supporting text-to-video, image-to-video, and reference-based generation up to 30 seconds at 1080p. Source
