+# Changelog v0.5.85 - 2026-09-05
+
+### Added
+
+- New provider: **Vercel AI Gateway** (24th provider in the catalog). This is Vercel's official OpenAI-compatible gateway: one endpoint at `https://ai-gateway.vercel.sh/v1/chat/completions`, list prices with zero markup, and it works from your local machine with nothing deployed to Vercel.
+  - **Free tier**: every Vercel account gets **$5 of gateway credits every 30 days**, no credit card required. On top of that, the gateway exposes a handful of genuinely $0 models (input AND output priced at $0), and those are the ones we list.
+  - **4 models added**, all verified live against `GET /v1/models` (373 models scanned, 2026-09-05):
+    - `minimax/minimax-m3-free` - MiniMax M3 (Free), S+ 78.4%, 1M context, vision + tool use
+    - `minimax/minimax-m2.7-free` - MiniMax M2.7 (Free), S+ 78.0%, 196k context, software-engineering focused
+    - `poolside/laguna-s-2.1-free` - Laguna S 2.1 (Free), S+ tier, 256k context, dedicated agentic coding model
+    - `inclusionai/ling-3.0-flash-fin-free` - Ling 3.0 Flash Fin (Free), B+ tier, 256k context, finance-tuned 124B MoE that retains coding and math
+  - **Quota marked `limited`** on purpose: the monthly credit only covers a subset of the 373-model catalog, and per Vercel's FAQ purchasing credits once permanently moves the account to the paid tier, which kills the recurring free credit. The Settings panel explains this.
+  - **Full cross-surface wiring**: TUI Settings panel entry with its own theme color, key test endpoint (`/v1/models`), web dashboard catalog, OpenCode + Kilo provider config generation, and monthly reset cadence for quota display. Env var: `VERCEL_AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY` (also accepts `AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY`).
+  - Get a key: Vercel dashboard, AI Gateway → API Keys.
+- New unit test covering the `vercel-gateway` source entry structure (model IDs must be explicit `-free` $0 models). Suite now at 880 tests.
+
+### Notes
+
+- MiniMax M3/M2.7 scores mirror the measured entries already in the catalog (ollama-cloud, benchmarked 2026-07-27); the underlying models are identical.
+- Laguna S 2.1 has no published SWE-bench score; its S+ tier follows the family precedent (Laguna XS 2.1 ships S+ 70.9% via NVIDIA). models.dev flags the model as deprecated as of 2026-09-05 (the Zen free promo ended), but Vercel still serves the $0 variant live today, so it stays listed with a re-verify note for the next audit.
+- Catalog totals: 24 providers, 229 models.
