+ * AGENT RUNNERS NOW USE SMARTER SCOPING FOR NEW PROJECTS
+   
+   September 4, 2026
+   
+    * agent runners
+    * workflow
+   
+   Agent Runners can now scope ambitious prompts for new projects to create a partial working project and provide next steps within the available credit budget.
+   
+   Previously, a brand new project could use up its credit budget before the agent finished for ambitious prompts, leaving the run marked Cancelled partway through.
+   
+   Now, your agent scopes the work more intelligently. It builds out part of the project and shares a plan for next steps, so you can preview a working version within your new project credit budget instead of the run stalling out.

+ * GPT-6 ASTRA NOW AVAILABLE IN AI GATEWAY AND AGENT RUNNERS
+   
+   September 4, 2026
+   
+    * ai gateway
+    * agent runners
+   
+   OpenAI’s GPT-6 Astra model is now available through Netlify’s AI Gateway and Agent Runners with zero configuration required.
+   
+   Use the OpenAI SDK directly in your Netlify Functions without managing API keys or authentication. AI Gateway handles everything automatically. Here’s an example using GPT-6 Astra with the Responses API:
+   
+   import OpenAI from 'openai';
+   
+   
+   export default async () => {
+     const openai = new OpenAI();
+   
+   
+     const response = await openai.responses.create({
+       model: 'gpt-6-astra',
+       input: 'Give a concise explanation of how AI works.',
+     });
+   
+   
+     return Response.json(response);
+   };
+   
+   
+   
+   GPT-6 Astra is also available across Background Functions, Scheduled Functions, and Edge Functions. You get automatic access to Netlify’s caching, rate limiting, and authentication infrastructure.
+   
+   Learn more in the AI Gateway documentation and Agent Runners documentation.

- * MANAGE YOUR TEAM INVITATIONS FROM YOUR NETLIFY DASHBOARD
-   
-   August 12, 2026
-   
-    * workflow
-   
-   Invitations to join an existing team now show up within your Netlify dashboard, where you can accept or decline them directly without checking your email inbox.
-   
-   Previously, the invitation email was the only way in. If it got buried, filtered, or sent to an address you no longer check, then getting collaboration started with your teammate took a lot longer than it needed to.
-   
-   Now, when you sign in to Netlify with an email address that has a pending invitation, you’ll see it waiting for you. Accept it and you’re on the team immediately. Decline it and it’s cleared out. Either way, you never have to go digging through your inbox.
-   
-   Nothing changes about how invitations are sent. Invitees still receive the same email they always have, and accepting from that link works exactly as before. This is simply a second, more reliable path to the same place.
-   
-   Learn more about inviting and managing teammates in Manage team members in the Netlify documentation.

- * PAY FOR NETLIFY WITH APPLE PAY AND GOOGLE PAY
-   
-   August 12, 2026
-   
-    * workflow
-   
-   You can now pay for Netlify with Apple Pay or Google Pay, in addition to paying by credit card.
-   
-   Both options show up as you’d expect at checkout, so you can confirm a payment with the device you already have in hand instead of tracking down a card. It’s a small change, but it removes a genuine bit of friction—especially when you’re upgrading in the middle of shipping something and don’t want to break flow to go find your wallet.
-   
-   Credit cards continue to work exactly as they always have. If that’s what your team uses, there’s nothing to change and nothing to migrate. Apple Pay and Google Pay are simply two more ways to pay.

-   Learn more in the Netlify billing documentation.

- * SIMPLIFIED SINGLE SIGN-ON (SSO) PROCESS
-   
-   August 12, 2026
-   
-    * security
-   
-   If your team uses SSO (single sign-on) with an identity provider, you can now sign in with just your email address without using your team ID. Netlify recognizes your domain and sends you straight to your identity provider.
-   
-   Previously, SSO required you to know your Team ID. That meant every new hire had to know and enter a Team ID, and anyone who forgot or didn’t know it was stuck at the login screen. It was a small detail that quietly created support work for the people administering the team.
-   
-   Now the flow is simplified: enter your email, get redirected to whichever identity provider your team has configured, authenticate there, and land back in Netlify.
-   
-   This is live for every team using SSO with an identity provider that lets you use your email address to authenticate. This means your existing SAML setup already carries everything Netlify needs to route people to the right place.
-   
-   Learn more about configuring SAML SSO in the Netlify documentation.

- * SOLIDSTART 2 JUST WORKS ON NETLIFY
-   
-   August 6, 2026
-   
-    * framework
-   
-   SolidStart 2 is out, and it deploys to Netlify with no framework-specific adapter to install, a first for full-stack frameworks on Netlify.
-   
-   While SolidStart 1 deployed to Netlify through Nitro under the hood, SolidStart 2 no longer includes Nitro, building directly on Vite’s Environment API instead. The Netlify Vite plugin can now take the server build Vite produces and prepare it for deployment on its own, with no SolidStart-specific Netlify adapter needed in between.
-   
-   
-   HOW TO DEPLOY
-   
-   Install the Netlify Vite plugin:
-   
-   npm install -D @netlify/vite-plugin
-   
-   
-   
-   Then add it to your Vite config with its build support turned on:
-   
-   vite.config.ts
-   import netlify from '@netlify/vite-plugin';
-   import { solidStart } from '@solidjs/start/config';
-   import { defineConfig } from 'vite';
-   
-   
-   export default defineConfig({
-     plugins: [solidStart(), netlify({ build: { enabled: true } })],
-   });
-   
-   
-   
-   That’s the whole setup for a new project. Netlify detects SolidStart and fills in your build settings, and your SSR pages, API routes, server functions, and middleware deploy to Netlify Functions.
-   
-   Prefer to build with Nitro? It became a Vite plugin in Nitro 3 and auto-detects Netlify, so adding nitro() works too. Just remove build.enabled from the Netlify Vite plugin.
-   
-   Either way, vite dev gives you the full Netlify platform emulated right in your dev server without reaching for the Netlify CLI.
-   
-   
-   ALREADY ON SOLIDSTART 1?
-   
-   Nothing breaks, and your Nitro netlify preset keeps working. When you’re ready to upgrade, follow the framework upgrade guide. We recommend then moving to the Netlify Vite plugin with build support as described above and changing your publish directory from dist to dist/client. (If you keep building with Nitro, dist stays as it is.)
-   
-   
-   WHY THERE’S NO SOLIDSTART ADAPTER
-   
-   Every framework used to need its own adapter for every platform, and every adapter needed someone to keep it current.
-   
-   Frameworks converging on Vite’s Environment API doesn’t change this on its own. What removes it is the build support in @netlify/vite-plugin: it takes the server bundle a Vite-powered framework emits and turns it into Netlify deployment configuration (we call this the Frameworks API), without knowing or caring which framework produced it. Supporting SolidStart 2 required no SolidStart-specific code and, in fact, no changes at all. This is the same code that’s been powering TanStack Start on Netlify the past year.
-   
-   It’s the direction we’re heading, in collaboration with the Vite team, framework authors, other platforms like Cloudflare, and the broader ecosystem: fewer adapters to maintain, more consistent feature sets across frameworks, and more niche frameworks supported out of the box, helping to support a healthy web ecosystem.
