Vercel mentions exploded from 9 to 57 this week (+48). Vercel+Anthropic co-occur in 12 stories vs implicit OpenAI+Vercel near zero in co-occurrence data. v0 (product) at 17 mentions (+16), all new. Vercel+v0 co-occur in 17 stories. The Vercel blog published 'Collaborating with Anthropic on Claude Sonnet 4.5 to power intelligent coding agents' — that's not integration language, that's partnership language. Existing prediction (04-07) covers a formal strategic alliance; this prediction is more specific: v0's model default switches publicly to Claude.
