Blank Metal and Vercel Join Forces to Enhance Enterprise AI Deployment Speed

Blank Metal Partners with Vercel: A New Era in AI Implementation

In a groundbreaking announcement, Blank Metal has secured its position as one of the first AI-implementation partners for Vercel's exclusive Partner Program. This strategic alliance signifies a pivotal moment in bridging the gap between AI innovations and their real-world deployment in enterprises. As companies face increasing pressures to integrate AI solutions, this partnership aims to streamline processes and enhance efficiency.

The fusion of Vercel's robust AI Cloud platform—which includes tools like the AI SDK and AI Gateway—with Blank Metal's specialized implementation expertise is set to change the landscape of AI deployment. Traditionally, engineering teams often spend extensive time developing AI infrastructure from scratch. However, through this collaboration, enterprises now have access to a proven and expedited pathway to production and scaling.

Jeanne DeWitt Grosser, COO of Vercel, articulated this shared vision, stating, "Vercel and Blank Metal were both founded on the same conviction—that the AI era requires us to rethink everything from the ground up." She continued to highlight that while Vercel focuses on creating infrastructure, Blank Metal brings essential implementation skills to the table. This dynamic illustrates that success in AI demands both cutting-edge tools and proficient builders working together.

A critical element of this partnership is the rejection of vendor lock-in, a common issue in the tech industry. Vercel's provider-neutral AI Cloud platform allows teams to switch models seamlessly, and Blank Metal ensures that this flexibility is maintained at the implementation stage. The aim is clear: provide enterprises with the agility they need without compromising on reliability and speed.

Matt Johnson, CEO of Blank Metal, emphasized the rapid evolution of software development, predicting, "Every piece of software will be rewritten in the next five years." He further clarified that Vercel lays the groundwork for this transformation, while Blank Metal equips the necessary talent and experience to excel. The synergy of their attributes is expected to be crucial as businesses navigate the complexities of AI implementation.

Eric Johnson, CTO of Blank Metal, echoed similar sentiments by highlighting Vercel's unique ability to deliver AI applications swiftly due to their integrated platform. With a comprehensive suite of tools, including the AI SDK and AI Gateway, Blank Metal can now deploy, scale, and monitor secure AI applications effectively, without the need to juggle multiple vendors. This collaboration allows for rapid movement from concept to production, ensuring that clients can benefit from transformative AI features sooner rather than later.

Redefining the Future of AI Deployment

The partnership brings forth what enterprises prioritize most: speed, security, and reliability. Vercel’s production-ready infrastructure, encompassing DDoS mitigation, bot protection, and a fluid compute environment, paired with Blank Metal’s implementation capabilities, empowers companies to deploy AI solutions securely and promptly. This synergy guarantees that businesses can ship AI applications within weeks, equipped with enterprise-grade safety from day one.

As many competitors continue to stagnate in the proof-of-concept stage, this alliance positions both Blank Metal and Vercel to lead the charge, ensuring that businesses can achieve production deployment that not only scales effectively but also performs consistently amidst real-world demands.

The partnership is effective immediately, allowing organizations eager for innovation to schedule consultations through Blank Metal’s website. Vercel partners can explore collaboration opportunities at their official site, Vercel.
