A person creates a Vercel account in a browser, adds a valid payment method to unlock the monthly free credit (its amount is unchecked), and creates a key. `GET /v1/models` needs no key, and `POST /v1/api-keys` makes later keys from a Vercel access token. No x402, MPP or L402 was found. Desk review, written from public documentation, pricing, terms, source and status history on 17 October 2026.

Kimi K3 is $3.00 in and $15.00 out per 1M tokens, so 1,000 calls of 2,000 input and 500 output tokens come to $13.50 by our arithmetic, against $5.00 on GLM 5.3 at $1.40 and $4.40. Budgets per key, project or team reject spend with a 402. The monthly free credit has no stated amount and needs a payment method.

A 429 has a documented JSON body, some carry retry-after, and a 402 budget rejection is separated from it. No limit numbers are published, the free tier's per-model limits are unread, and the Enterprise SLA excludes the APIs. The status feed from 23 July to 12 October names no AI Gateway incident.

They carry no per-model or read-only scope. Provider ZDR and no-training are opt-in per request, the no-training warranty in the terms covers Enterprise only, and a failed BYOK request falls back to Vercel credentials. Vercel's April 2026 bulletin, closed 16 October, describes decrypted environment variables, where its docs keep gateway keys.

One API key or Vercel OIDC token reaches models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google and others through OpenAI-compatible, Anthropic-compatible and AI SDK interfaces, with budgets, request logs and provider failover.
