Why it mattersA team enriching CRM records has a short window to test a decision API for free. After 23 November, the paid Parallel price applies.
A product that asks the live web yes-or-no questions about a company just landed on Vercel's AI Gateway. It is free for ten days.
Vercel said Parallel Decisions Fast is now available on the AI Gateway. Parallel builds the model. The price is zero through 23 November 2026. After that it goes back to paid Parallel pricing. A team can call the model with no separate Parallel account.
What Decisions Fast does
Parallel Decisions Fast searches the live web to answer typed questions about companies, products, policies and other facts that change. It returns two things for each answer. The first is a probability. For a Boolean question, the probability is of yes. For a Choice question, the model picks one of the options a team defines. The second is a list of citations with source URLs and optional titles and excerpts.
Vercel gives three uses. Enrich CRM records. Check eligibility or route a lead. Verify a claim against a current source. The pattern is the same in all three. Ask a question, get a number and the sources behind it, act on both.
How the Gateway serves it
A team calls the model as parallel/parallel-decisions-fast through three interfaces. Vercel names the AI SDK, its TypeSafe-compatible API and its OpenAI-compatible Decisions API. Logging, billing and the Gateway key work the same as for any other model on the Gateway. Citations apply to the whole request rather than to each answer.
What is not clear from the post
Vercel does not list a rate limit for the free period. It does not say what Parallel will charge after 23 November 2026. It does not link the vendor's price page either. A team that wants to use the API in production from December has to ask Parallel directly. Otherwise, wait for the number to appear in the Gateway's listed prices.
What a team would do this week
A team with an enrichment job on a CRM has a short window to test Parallel against its current source. The trial costs the team nothing on Vercel's side. The reader's own time is the only cost. Pick ten records where the answer is already known. Call the API. Read the citations against what the team already has. A team with ad-hoc checks inside an internal tool can test the same way. Use questions with known yes or no answers.
