Vercel CEO Guillermo Rauch discusses the shift from AI prototyping to production deployment, highlighting two killer agent use cases: coding agents and internal corporate agents. He introduces Vercel's Eve framework and Sandbox tool for secure, auditable agent deployments. Rauch also addresses the competitive dynamics between platform companies and AI labs, arguing for a decoupled model-agent architecture where models are interchangeable building blocks — similar to how AWS commoditized infrastructure. He notes growing adoption of Gemini and open models like Deepseek due to price/performance advantages in production environments.
