Across Vercel, we use coding agents to design and build pages that have to look and feel like Vercel. The typography, color, and composition all need to carry the same judgment that we put into the pages we already ship ourselves. We recently wrote about product-design , our skill that teaches agents how we design when they work in our codebases. The skill lives in each repository alongside the code that it governs, explaining how agents can find and understand our design system as well as produ

The U.S. is shutting out more foreign-made drones and robots. China’s scale means the global competition may simply move elsewhere.

Backlash against Flock has led to the state of Texas pausing funding on the AI cameras.

As backlash grows over Flock's AI surveillance cameras, Texas Governor Greg Abbott has frozen state spending on them. The move came just ahead of the publication of a Texas Tribune investigation that revealed the state spent over $30 million on Flock cameras. That money was primarily raised by tacking a $1 fee onto insurance policies, […]

The problem is simple: AI tokens are locked to individual products. context : I was using both an agentic IDE and a Hostinger deployment agent. One day, I ran out of tokens on the deployment agent. To keep using it, I either had to wait for tokens to reset or upgrade to a higher subscription or buy tokens. So basically, I had AI tokens, but I couldn’t use them where I needed them. or despite having tokens, we cannot use them. As people start using more AI products, this could mean buying tokens

I get it, you want to show off how "cool" you are with your hijacked scrolling and 50 million animations. Does marketing in 2026 mean your potential customer's computer starts lagging with horrendous layouts and designs? Nobody gives a shit. I'm not impressed. If it lags, I'm closing the tab.

Does anyone have any experience or results with using system prompts that intentionally make LLMs more annoying to encourage better habits? I believe that consistently using an LLM for creative or solution building tasks will: - degrade critical thinking skills - degrade knowledge - encourage apathy - degrade knowledge acquisition skills - trades short term benefit for heavy long term loss I do believe an LLM can be very useful if used correctly. There are (controversial) plugins for various edi

Google Cloud has natively integrated TPU support into the vLLM serving engine, allowing developers to elastically scale high-demand embedding pipelines using Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE). To handle massive 15K+ token contexts for models like Qwen3-Embedding-8B, the engineering team implemented TPU-specific optimizations such as hardware-safe tensor alignment, JAX/XLA compilation pre-warming, and a hybrid StepPool architecture for chunked prefill management. These enhancements achieve near-perf

Moving live voice agents from demo to production requires rigorous, automated testing to handle the unpredictability of real multi-turn conversations.
