Excited to finally share this project I worked on! @netlify.com is not immune to the... Cambrian explosion: millions of projects are now created each month. But 93% aren't on GitHub, or GitLab, or any forge(!) Turns out git is really useful. So, we hosted our own: www.netlify.com/blog/how-we-....

Netlify Agent Runners turn a prompt into a deployed application. As of today, they can also ask you a few clarifying questions first whenever the model decides more context would sharpen the result. www.netlify.com/blog/new-cla...

Open models are now on Netlify. The AI Gateway gives you access to hundreds of open models through OpenRouter with the same zero-config setup you already use, and Agent Runners now include OpenCode for running open coding models like GLM 5.2 and Kimi 3. Full details: www.netlify.com/blog/build-w...

Open models are having a moment. We’re all in.
Netlify now gives every customer access to leading open and commercial AI models through Agent Runners and AI Gateway, making it easy to build, experiment, and ship on production infrastructure.

Hot damn! Have been on Netlify post static buckets (10+ years ago?)... as tooling (and the world) has changed, there are so many doors opening in the "a frontender can do it all" reality... I've mentally fathomed a few presentations about this, the pieces all being in one place is integral to that!

AI can make teams smaller and roadmaps faster. That's the least interesting part. AI should help us be more ambitious and push the boundaries of what we build. I'm using Agent Runners to do fun, quirky things on my blog, that would never have been viable pre-AI. biilmann.blog/articles/ai-...
