Cloudflare opens up account and network plumbing as Vercel floods AI Gateway with models
Cloudflare made Unified Routing generally available across WAN and Magic Transit and opened self-serve Free account creation, while Vercel spent the week stocking AI Gateway with new models and exposing deployment costs down to the CPU minute.
Cloudflare ships Durable Object update strategies in Wrangler; AI SDK breaks Perplexity
Cloudflare Workers exposed configurable Durable Object code update strategies and retries across Wrangler and the runtime, while the AI SDK's Perplexity provider migrated to the Agent API with breaking changes.
—Wrangler deploy, versions deploy, and rollback now accept a Durable Objects code update mode, letting code ship immediately without waiting for active instances to hibernate or defer with a configurable maximum delay (defaulting to five minutes, capped at 24 hours).
—The Workers runtime made Durable Object retries configurable, added support for running same-worker Workflows, and fixed native stream issues around closing at handoff, locking on tee(), and writable chunk-size validation.
—Worker Preview deployments with the Build Output now support Containers.
—The AI SDK's Perplexity provider moved language generation from the Sonar Chat Completions API to the Agent API — a breaking change that replaces model IDs and provider options and drops Sonar PDF input plus image and video results.
—Cloudflare's codemods now require a clean Git worktree before running (bypassable with --force) and added a wrangler-to-cloudflare.config.ts migration; Miniflare no longer hits QuotaExceededError when enqueuing over 10,000 local queue messages.
