Control without the sprawl: how Mercor unlocked hundreds of builders with Vercel

About this session

Mercor connects domain experts with frontier AI labs, generating the human data used to train and evaluate leading models. Behind the platform, hundreds of business users build the apps their work depends on, and engineering teams tap a wide range of open-weight and closed models. The challenge: doing both without the business losing track of what's shipping, who has access, and what it costs. See how Mercor, with Vercel, built a managed identity layer every app inherits by default and gained full observability into who is spending and where, on a foundation that scales to the agents it's building next.

What you’ll take away

  • Explore an identity layer that applications inherit by default.
  • Make application access and model spend visible across teams.
  • Support a growing builder community without losing governance.
