Summary
Vercel has made virtual models available on its AI Gateway, according to its changelog post. A virtual model is a saved configuration that tells AI Gateway which model and settings to use. Apps and agents call it with a custom model ID, such as vmc/coding-agent. The source says the model or settings can be changed centrally, though the snippet is cut off before giving further details.

Why it matters
Developers building AI coding tools and agents may be able to manage which model they use from one saved configuration instead of changing each app. Teams should check the Vercel documentation for how central changes are applied and what settings are supported. It is worth watching whether this approach becomes a common way to manage model choices across projects.
