Netlify Agent Runners Upgrade: Embraces Multi-Model and Open Source Ecosystem

Netlify has introduced the Agent Runners architecture, specifically designed for advanced coding agents like Claude Code, and quickly rolled out upgrades to break down barriers to multi-model and open-source ecosystem integration. Currently, developers can flexibly choose from various closed-source and open-source LLMs to run agents directly on Netlify's production infrastructure. This move marks the synchronous evolution of the platform's dev tools and AI model capabilities, significantly boosting website building flexibility.

Confirmed

• Multi-model support: Agent Runners now allows users to flexibly choose Claude, Codex, Gemini, and OpenCode to run agents, with a debut support for Kimi K3.
• Fully embracing open-source: Through the AI Gateway and OpenRouter, users can access hundreds of open-source models. Agent Runners introduced the open-source agent OpenCode, and supports open-weight models like DeepSeek, Qwen, GLM, and Kimi.

Why it matters

• Lowers the barrier to entry: Offering a rich selection of open-source and closed-source models on a unified production infrastructure further reduces developer costs and restrictions.
• Inspires new workflows: @DavidWells noted that the ability to configure multiple different model agents directly inspired his concept of using four agents simultaneously in an AI council workflow.
