Vercel Token Pass adds Kimi K3.1 Pro and raises monthly credit to $150 for $30 teams

Vercel's Token Pass subscription now includes Moonshot AI's Kimi K3.1 Pro and nearly doubles included usage to $150 per month, still priced at $30 per team.

Vercel Token Pass adds Kimi K3.1 Pro and raises monthly credit to $150 for $30 teams

Vercel has added Moonshot AI's Kimi K3.1 Pro to Token Pass, its subscription for AI coding agents, and raised the included monthly token credit from $80 to $150 while keeping the price at $30 per team per month. Both changes were announced on the Vercel blog.

The new model

According to Vercel, Kimi K3.1 Pro is Moonshot AI's most capable model for coding and agentic workflows. It supports vision, tool use and a context window of one million tokens. Subscribers can pick it in a connected agent's model picker under the identifier moonshotai/kimi-k3.1-pro.

With the addition, the Token Pass catalog now covers Kimi K3, Kimi K3.1 Pro, GLM 5.3, GLM 5.3 Flash and DeepSeek V4.1 Flash, with Vercel saying more models are on the way.

Nearly double the credit

A second changelog entry states that Token Pass now bundles $150 of tokens per month, up from $80, at the same $30 per team per month. One caveat on the numbers: the Kimi K3.1 Pro announcement still cites the older $80 figure, so the two Vercel posts disagree on the amount, with the $150 post explicitly framing it as an increase.

The credit applies to featured open-weight models served through Vercel's AI Gateway. It resets each billing period and does not roll over. What happens when it runs out depends on the credentials in use: requests made with standard AI Gateway keys or OIDC tokens fall back to the team's regular AI Gateway balance, while requests using Token Pass-scoped keys simply stop, with no overage charges.

Agents and data handling

The credit can be spent in coding agents connected to AI Gateway, including fx, Pi, Cline and Command Code, as well as agents developers build themselves with the AI SDK. Vercel also states that requests served through Token Pass are covered by zero data retention.

Availability and setup

Token Pass remains an Early Access add-on for Pro teams, with limited spots and a waitlist once they fill. Subscriptions are handled on the Token Pass page in a team's AI Gateway dashboard. To connect a coding agent, Vercel says to run vercel token-pass in the Vercel CLI, or to use a Token Pass API key if the agent supports AI Gateway.

Why it matters

Open-weight models such as Kimi, GLM and DeepSeek have become practical options for coding agents, and Vercel is now bundling $150 of monthly usage on those models into a $30 subscription. For teams whose usage fits inside the cap, that is a large discount on pay-as-you-go spending, and the design of Token Pass-scoped keys, which stop rather than bill overages, makes monthly costs predictable. The move also ties Vercel's AI Gateway more tightly into everyday developer tooling, positioning the company as a cheap, single entry point for frontier open-weight models in agents like Cline and custom AI SDK builds.
