60% of Vercel Deployments Are Now Shipped by AI Agents

Vercel CEO Guillermo Rauch argues AI agents, not humans, are becoming the internet's primary users — and Vercel the infrastructure they choose. Coding agents went from 3% to 60% of Vercel deployments in a year, and the $9.3B-valued company reports $600M annualized revenue and 485,000 paying teams. He says engineers now manage agents like engineering managers, enterprises will generate personalized software instead of buying SaaS while Salesforce survives as data infrastructure, and websites must retool for agents via MCP. Vercel's AI Gateway shows 80% of tokens flow to open models — frontier labs, he argues, face fleeting loyalty and crypto-like froth. He details a $1M sandbox bounty that surfaced a critical Linux vulnerability and predicts fluid compute as serverless's next chapter.
