Vercel adds Particle-1 model to AI Gateway, with Particle's models and inference

Vercel says its Particle-1 model is now available on AI Gateway.

The model is post-trained on DeepSeek V4.1 Flash, and Vercel says it completes engineering tasks with fewer tokens, for debugging, planning code changes, and breaking down multi-step problems. The token-efficiency claim comes from Vercel's own announcement and has not been independently measured.

Vercel CEO Guillermo Rauch says Vercel will also serve Particle's models and inference through AI Gateway, in a partnership with Particle founder Suhail. Rauch says Particle's stated mission is to make intelligence as accessible and abundant as electricity for developers and enterprises.
