Summary
On August 7, 2026 Vercel made its AI Gateway and Sandbox available inside Hermes Agent, giving the agent inference across 200+ models with no token markup and isolated microVM execution for running generated code.
What changed
August 7, 2026: Hermes Agent can now use Vercel AI Gateway as its inference layer, reaching 200+ models with no markup on tokens and all usage visible in the AI Gateway dashboard, and can run agent commands in an isolated Vercel Sandbox microVM (opt-in via terminal.backend=vercel_sandbox, supporting node24, node22, and python3.13).
Why it matters
Bundling a neutral multi-model gateway with sandboxed execution lets agent builders swap models without per-provider billing and run untrusted code safely, positioning Vercel's infrastructure as a substrate other agents plug into rather than only powering v0.
