Team-wide provider allowlist on AI Gateway
Regulated teams just got compliance teeth. Vercel's AI Gateway now enforces org-wide provider allowlists—blocking unapproved vendors even if developers try to route around them.
Why it matters
Enterprise AI governance just moved from policy document to enforced infrastructure. Vercel's provider allowlist gives regulated orgs the routing control they need to satisfy security/legal sign-off on AI vendors—turning approved-vendor lists into technical guarantees, not just guidelines.
