You can now use AI Gateway in local development with just npm run dev when using the Netlify Vite Plugin. Previously, AI Gateway’s auto-configured environment variables only worked when running netlify dev, which added friction for developers using Vite-powered frameworks like Astro.

With this update, AI Gateway environment variables are automatically populated when running your Vite development server directly. This means you can run standard framework commands without extra steps:

# Works with any Vite-based framework
npm run dev

This is part of our ongoing effort to streamline the developer experience for Vite frameworks. Modern frameworks like Astro let you specify Netlify as your deployment target and handle everything automatically—now AI Gateway works the same way.

This change also improves compatibility with AI coding agents and other automated workflows that expect standard development commands to work without additional configuration.

Today we’re announcing two major updates for Nuxt developers on Netlify:

Day-One Nuxt 4 Support

Nuxt 4 launched today, and Netlify is ready. Deploy your Nuxt 4 apps with zero configuration changes—everything just works. Everything is fully compatible from day one.

Learn more about leveraging platform primitives with Nuxt.

Full Platform Emulation in Your Dev Server with @netlify/nuxt

We’re also launching @netlify/nuxt today, a new Nuxt module that brings the entire Netlify platform into your local development environment. Functions, Edge Functions, Blobs, Image CDN, env vars, headers, and redirects all work directly in nuxt dev—no separate CLI required.

Add the module to your Nuxt 3 or Nuxt 4 app with one command:

npx nuxi module add @netlify/nuxt

This simplifies local development and enables AI coding assistants to build full-stack apps with immediate feedback.

Read the complete guide.

We’ve made meaningful Netlify CLI performance improvements in v20.0.0, making your workflow 2 to 3x faster with:

• ~400ms faster startup for every command
• >2s faster execution for most commands
• ~5s faster builds for Next.js apps

Get the latest by running:

npm install -g netlify-cli@latest

For an additional 10-15% performance boost, use Node.js 22.8.0 or later.
