UpdateJul 27, 2026VerifiedAdded Sep 22, 2026

AI Gateway now supports regional inference . Set inferenceRegion on a request to pin it to the US or EU. Every model provider that supports the selected region handles it the same way. Inference runs there, and any data the provider keeps is stored there.

Vercel Sandbox supports forking

Vercel Sandbox now supports forking with Sandbox.fork() . The fork starts from the source's current snapshot and inherits its config and environment variables. If the source is running, it forks the latest saved state, not the live in-memory state. If the source has no snapshot, it falls back to a fresh create, using the source's runtime and config.
