Rules are managed with the Vercel CLI and apply to all requests using a team's gateway credentials. ## Source excerpt Vercel AI Gateway now supports routing rules. Routing rules are firewall-style rules that control which models your team can use, applied at the gateway level instead of in your application code. When a model goes down or gets retired, you usually have to ship a code change to move off it. With routing rules, you push one rule and every request reroutes instantly. There are two types: Type What it does Use it to Rewrite Serves a request for one model using another Keep traffic flowing when a model is unavailable, migrate off a retired model, standardize on one model, or route an expensive model to a cheaper one Deny Blocks requests for a model Keep your team off models you haven't approved Rules apply to every request made with your team's AI Gateway credentials. You manage them with the Vercel CLI. Rewrite Create a rewrite with a source and a destination model. The Gateway swaps in the destination transparently, so your application keeps requesting the source model: Deny Create a deny rule to block a model. Requests for it return a 403: Rules only change which model serves a request. Everything else you've configured still applies to the destination model, including: Request-level: BYOK, model fallbacks, sorting, the only filter, and provider options. Team-level: Zero Data Retention and the provider allowlist. Routing rules are in beta. For more information, read the routing rules docs. Read more
