Vercel turns into an agent host: Agents API, 64 GB boxes, free search
Vercel quietly assembled a full agent stack this week: hosted execution, a search tool that grounds any model free, and Copilot wired into its SDK.

64 GB per Sandbox, doubled overnight
Vercel Sandbox now defaults to 64 GB of storage per box, up from 32 GB, on the latest SDK and CLI or when created from an image. That is real headroom for big monorepos, dependency installs, and build artifacts when an agent runs your code in an isolated VM.
Free live web search for any model, to Sept 30
The Tako Search tool is live on Vercel AI Gateway: any Gateway model can now hit curated data and the live web, filter by domain or date, and return citations, with no separate Tako account or key. It is free through September 30, so grounding an agent costs nothing this month.
Ship an OpenAI Agents API app end to end
You can now deploy an OpenAI Agents API app on Vercel with Next.js, Functions, Queues, and Sandbox handling isolated, persistent per-session execution. OpenAI runs the agent loop; Vercel gives you scale-to-zero hosting and signed-webhook reconnection instead of always-on workers.
Copilot slots into the AI SDK harness
GitHub Copilot now runs through the AI SDK via @ai-sdk/harness-github-copilot behind the standard HarnessAgent interface, joining Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Cline, Grok Build and more. Swap coding agents in your own app without rewriting the integration.
Build this weekend: a self-grounding research agent
Point an Agents API app at the free Tako tool on AI Gateway and run its tool calls inside a 64 GB Sandbox: a research agent that reads the live web, writes files, and keeps state across steps, all on one deploy and with search free until October.
