Ties GPT-6 Astra on Next.js evals (90.3% baseline, 96.8% with docs) via `stealth/pixel-canary`; call it through Vercel CLI agents or OpenAI-compatible API.
Summary
Free access to a coding-specialized model that matches top-tier performance on frontend/Next.js tasks eliminates vendor lock-in for AI-assisted development workflows. Native integration with Claude Code, Codex, and fx reduces setup friction.

Implementation verdict
Replaces vendor-specific model calls with unified gateway routing. Requires: AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY, `npx vercel ai-gateway setup`, and model string swap to `stealth/pixel-canary`. Worth trying now—it's free during stealth, passes 30/31 Next.js tasks with context, and integrates directly into existing agent tooling. Trade-off: ZDR not available and responses may be used for training.
