Vercel Agent sessions in the dashboard and Slack now cost 67% less on average. We rebuilt how Agent manages context, reducing the tokens needed per session and improving prompt-cache reuse. These improvements are live and require no action.
What changed:
Workflow-based CLI skills: Updated Vercel CLI skills give agents clearer guidance for common workflows and error recovery. Other agents using these skills also benefit.
Incremental context management: Agent manages context more efficiently as conversations grow, including long Slack threads.
Improved prompt caching: Agent preserves more reusable context across turns so more of it can be read from the cache.
More efficient coding and planning: Updated guidance helps Agent plan changes and write code with fewer tokens.
Vercel Agent’s billing rates are unchanged. Paid sessions are billed at the model provider’s inference rates plus a Vercel Agent fee of $0.25 per million tokens. View usage and costs in the Agent section of your dashboard.
