Release2026-10-28

Vercel launched Vercel CI in Beta. It runs only the tasks affected by a code change. It uses Turborepo config to understand task dependencies. Each task runs on its own machine sized to the push. Remote Cache is enabled by default. CI pass time is 2-6x faster than before. It works with existing GitHub branch protection rules. It is available on all Vercel plans. The dashboard, CLI, and MCP provide inspection tools. Future updates will add advanced observability and distributed execution.
