• Deploy Hono backends with zero configuration

    Geist OG LightGeist OG Light

    Vercel now natively supports Hono, a fast, lightweight backend framework built on web standards, with zero-configuration.

    index.ts
    import { Hono } from 'hono'
    const app = new Hono()
    app.get('/', (c) => {
    return c.text("Hello Hono!"))
    })
    export default app

    A "Hello world" Hono backend on Vercel

    With the code above, use Vercel CLI to develop and deploy your Hono application:

    Terminal
    # Develop the application locally
    vc dev
    # Create a deployment
    vc deploy

    Using Vercel CLI to develop and deploy a Hono appliation

    With this improved integration, Vercel's framework-defined infrastructure now recognizes and deeply understands Hono applications, ensuring they benefit from optimizations made from builds, deployments, and application delivery.

    Now, new Hono applications deployed to Vercel benefit from Fluid compute, with Active CPU pricing, automatic cold start optimizations, background processing, and much more.

    Deploy Hono on Vercel or visit Hono's Vercel documentation.

  • Z.ai's GLM-4.5 and GLM-4.5 Air are now supported in Vercel AI Gateway

    You can now access GLM-4.5 and GLM-4.5 Air, new flagship models from Z.ai designed to unify frontier reasoning, coding, and agentic capabilities, using Vercel's AI Gateway with no other provider accounts required.

    AI Gateway lets you call the model with a consistent unified API and just a single string update, track usage and cost, and configure performance optimizations, retries, and failover for higher than provider-average uptime.

    To use it with the AI SDK v5, start by installing the package:

    pnpm i ai

    Then set the model to either zai/glm-4.5 or zai/glm-4.5-air:

    import { streamText } from 'ai'
    const result = streamText({
    model: "zai/glm-4.5", // or "zai/glm-4.5-air"
    prompt: "What is specifically notable about the style of Sonoran food?",
    providerOptions: {
    zai: {
    thinking: {
    type: 'disabled',
    },
    },
    }
    })

    Includes built-in observability, Bring Your Own Key support, and intelligent provider routing with automatic retries.
