Microsoft 365 Crawls Back to Life After a 24-Hour Outage
The company says a bad update—not a cyberattack or AI—caused its servers around the world to crash.
Build cache size limit on Vercel increased to 5 GB
The build cache size limit on Vercel's build machines has been raised to 5 GB, enabling projects to retain more installed dependencies and framework files across deployments, thereby reducing install and build times. This change applies automatically to all build machine types without additional cost or configuration.
Parallel Decisions now available on AI Gateway for free
Parallel Decisions Fast is now available on AI Gateway at no cost until November 23, 2026. It searches the live web to answer questions about companies, products, policies, and other dynamic information, providing probabilities and cited evidence. The model supports boolean, choice, and score question types, with related questions sharing context and evidence in a single request. It can be used to enrich CRM records, verify claims, check eligibility, or route leads. The model name is 'parallel/parallel-decisions-fast', requiring no separate Parallel account. Citations include source URLs, optional titles, and excerpts, applicable to the entire request. Applications can act on high-probability answers and route uncertain ones for review. Requests are tracked in AI Gateway logs and spend budgets.
Vercel Security Review no longer requires a linked Vercel project
Vercel Security Review can now scan code changes in GitHub repositories not yet linked to a Vercel project, automatically reviewing commits upon push and offering enhanced analysis when used with linked projects.
Inkling 2 Small now available on AI Gateway
Inkling 2 Small, a multimodal reasoning model supporting coding agents, visual understanding, and professional knowledge work, is now available on AI Gateway. It accepts text and image inputs and produces text output, enabling extended coding tasks, tool use for information gathering, document generation, and visual analysis including reading text in images, interpreting charts, and inspecting interfaces. The model can be used via the Vercel CLI with the identifier 'thinkingmachines/inkling-2-small' and integrated into tools like Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor. AI Gateway offers a unified API with features such as usage tracking, cost monitoring, retry configurations, failover, performance optimization, custom reporting, Zero Data Retention, budget controls, and routing rules. Pricing reflects provider rates with no markup or platform fees, including for Bring Your Own Key requests.
WTF are evals? How to test agents and the software they use
Agents interact with software through a funnel similar to humans: Discovery, Selection, Access, and Success. To measure whether agents complete user tasks correctly, end-to-end (E2E) evaluations are essential. These evaluations assess the full sequence of steps an agent takes, ensuring outcomes meet user requirements. Using frameworks like Harbor, developers can design tasks with defined environments, verifiers, and known-good solutions, then run trials across variants to measure success rate, pass@k, pass^k, efficiency, time, and cost. Analyzing traces reveals root causes of failures, enabling targeted improvements. Iterative evaluation helps catch regressions, test changes, and guide product development, turning evaluations into ongoing infrastructure for building better agent-driven products.
Adobe’s AI experiments let you walk around in photos and interview your characters
Some of the most impressive tech that Adobe showcases at its annual Max conference each year is the experimental features it's developing, and the latest of those tools are being announced today: they can transform images into explorable 3D scenes, design AI characters by talking to them, and turn photo editing into a copy/paste process. […]

Speed Insights and Web Analytics now support custom environments
Data from custom environments in Speed Insights and Web Analytics is now correctly attributed to the respective custom environment, enabling separate tracking for staging, QA, or canary environments. This update allows users to view and query data via the dashboard, CLI, query builder, and aggregation API without additional configuration, available on Pro and Enterprise plans.
Vercel Sandbox snapshot creation is now up to 10x faster
Vercel Sandbox has improved snapshot creation speed by up to 10x, with median time dropping to under 0.4 seconds from 4.4 seconds, and restore speed improving by 50% to 250ms at p50. The enhancements leverage the Vercel Hive Snapshot (VHS) format with more efficient data indexing, enabling parallel read and write operations and faster restoration of both base images and user data. Persistent sandboxes now automatically snapshot upon session end and resume from the latest snapshot by default, using the new format for all new snapshots while existing ones retain the previous format.

Claude Fable 5.2 now available on AI Gateway
Claude Fable 5.2, designed for open-ended technical tasks, is now available on AI Gateway with improved coding, reasoning, and vision capabilities. It operates as an orchestrator or advisor, supports model fallbacks for cybersecurity classifier rejections, requires data retention (no Zero Data Retention), and can be accessed via the AI SDK, APIs, or integrated tools like Claude Code and Cursor. AI Gateway offers unified API access, cost tracking, failover options, and pricing transparency without markup.
Decision models take 26% of requests; Anthropic now wins new teams 2:1
In November 2026, decision models accounted for 26% of all AI Gateway requests and 0.53% of total spend, with adoption highest among high-volume teams—70% of those processing over 10 billion tokens monthly used a decision model. Voice model usage rose 2.6 times since July, reaching 11% of paid teams. OpenAI and Anthropic now serve nearly equal shares of paid teams, but Anthropic gained more new teams (2:1), while OpenAI’s share of gateway spend increased by two-thirds since December. Over half of language-model requests went to models less than two months old, reflecting rapid model turnover with a median half-life of six weeks. In October, Anthropic’s Opus 5.5 became the top model by spend, and image and video model usage reached record levels, with OpenAI’s GPT-Image-2.5 Sunburst leading image spend and ByteDance’s Seedance 2.5 leading video spend.

Chat SDK agents can now stream generative UI with json-render
Vercel introduces json-render, enabling Chat SDK agents to generate and stream interactive UI components as JSON specs, which are converted into platform-native cards (e.g., Block Kit on Slack, Adaptive Cards on Teams). The system uses a typed component catalog covering tables, charts, buttons, and more, eliminating the need for separate tools. It supports streaming updates with real-time edits every 500 ms, validates component specs against schemas, and enforces platform-specific message limits to prevent content degradation.
