Browser-Provided Language Models

An emerging pattern where web browsers ship with or download trained language models, exposing them to web applications through standardized APIs. Enables developers to access LLM capabilities without managing model weights, infrastructure, or API keys.

On-Device Machine Learning

Running machine learning models locally on the user's device rather than sending data to a remote server for inference. Also called edge ML or client-side ML. Core value proposition of the WebMachineLearning initiative and the Prompt API.

Warden

Warden is an AI-powered code review tool from Sentry. It "watches over your code by running skills against your changes" — analyzing diffs, files, or whole branches for security issues, API problems, performance regressions, and any custom patterns a team cares about. Warden runs both locally (pre-p

Vercel Sandboxes

Vercel Sandboxes are isolated, ephemeral microVMs that Vercel provides for running untrusted or AI-agent-driven workloads. They give a coding agent a real machine (file system, shell, network) without exposing the host or production infrastructure to the agent.

Vercel DeepSec

Vercel DeepSec is an open-source, agent-powered vulnerability scanner from Vercel Labs that identifies hard-to-detect security issues in large codebases. It runs entirely on your own infrastructure — no source code is shared with cloud services.

OpenCode

Open-source, provider-agnostic AI coding agent built by the SST team (creators of the SST framework). Runs as a TUI, desktop app, or IDE extension. MIT licensed, written in TypeScript, built with Bun.

AI Skill Composability

The ability to build complex AI agent capabilities by combining smaller, reusable AI Agent Skills. Instead of writing monolithic prompts, composable skills are modular: each does one thing well, and agents orchestrate them together.

Windows Sandbox

Windows Sandbox (WSB) is a disposable, hypervisor-isolated desktop environment built into Windows 10/11 Pro, Enterprise, and Education editions. It launches in seconds, runs a full Windows desktop in a separate kernel, and wipes everything on close. It is Microsoft's answer to "I want to test this r

Gas City

Gas City is an SDK and successor to Gas Town by Steve Yegge, announced April 24, 2026. Where Gas Town shipped a single, opinionated multi-agent platform, Gas City deconstructs the architecture into composable building blocks called "packs" so developers can assemble teams of collaborating AI agents

Sci-Bot

Experimental AI assistant launched in April 2026 on top of Sci-Hub. It answers research questions using full-text articles from the Sci-Hub corpus instead of summaries or abstracts; the corpus serves as a retrieval ground that constrains generation to actual passages from real papers.

Prompt API

A W3C proposal enabling web developers to access browser-provided or OS-provided language models directly via a JavaScript API. Supports prompt-completion workflows with stateful sessions, streaming, structured outputs, and multimodal inputs — all running on-device with no cloud dependency.
