Introducing eve, an open-source agent framework
Vercel just open-sourced eve. Deploy an AI agent in under a minute—no boilerplate, no registration. This is what agent infrastructure looks like when it's built for developers.

This signals a shift toward commoditizing agent infrastructure and positioning Vercel as the deployment layer for agentic workloads—similar to how they dominated static site hosting.
The key facts
8 to knoweve is open-source and available in public preview
Minimal agent requires only two files: a model and instructions
New agents scaffold and run locally in under one minute
Tools, skills, channels, and schedules added via file creation (auto-wired at build time)
eve agents are standard Vercel projects—deploy unchanged from local to production
Built-in features: durable execution, sandboxed compute, human-in-the-loop approvals, subagents, evals
Vercel internally uses eve for its own agents
