Models age fast, says Vercel
Vercel's data suggests AI models now have a half-life of roughly six weeks, according to TechRadar. The company reports that a typical model peaks within a month of its launch, and that most AI traffic runs on models less than two months old.
The same data points to increasingly fragile loyalty among teams using these models. Vercel says teams are switching to new models almost as fast as labs release them. The figures come from Vercel's own reporting and have not been independently verified.
