# A new Console layout for the Neon backend, more AI Gateway models, API keys and multiple accounts in the Neon CLI, and more ## A new Console layout for the Neon backend The Console sidebar has a new shape. Every branch-level [Neon backend](/guides/neon-docs-get-started-backend-overview) service now sits at the same level. - **Postgres database** is everything that was in the sidebar before: Tables, SQL Editor, Backup & Restore, Computes, Data API, Roles, and Databases, now under one collapsible item. - **Auth**, **Object storage**, **Functions**, and **AI Gateway** backend services sit alongside it as siblings. Above that section, the sidebar separates what belongs to project (**Dashboard**, **Branches**, **Integrations**, **Settings**) from what belongs to the branch (**Overview**, **Credentials**, **Monitoring**, **Child branches**). The branch picker sits between them, so it's clear which branch you're looking at when you open a service. **Overview** is now a summary of the branch you have selected. It lists each backend service with its status, so you can see what the branch actually has enabled without opening each one: The new Neon Console sidebar alongside the branch Overview page, which lists Postgres database, BetterAuth, Object storage, Functions, and AI Gateway with their status Each service shows whether it's enabled on the branch, so the page doubles as a list of what you can still add. **Important: More regions for backend services coming soon** Object Storage, Functions, and the AI Gateway services are available only in **AWS US East (Ohio) (`aws-us-east-2`)**. More regions are coming soon. _Update: region availability has since expanded. See [Regions](/guides/manage-operate-introduction-regions) for current coverage._ ## More models on the AI Gateway We've expanded the models available through the [Neon AI Gateway](/guides/ai-gateway-index), including Kimi K3, GLM-5.2, Inkling, and new additions to the Gemini and GPT families. The catalog now spans frontier and open-weight models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, Moonshot AI, Alibaba, Zhipu AI, and Thinking Machines. One credential and one base URL reach all of them, so trying a different model means changing a string rather than signing up with another provider: ```bash curl -X POST "$NEON_AI_GATEWAY_BASE_URL/v1/chat/completions" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $NEON_AI_GATEWAY_TOKEN" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"model": "kimi-k3", "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "What is Neon?"}]}' ``` Browse the full catalog in the [model reference](/guides/ai-gateway-models#available-models), where you can filter by provider or open weights and open any model for a copy-paste quickstart. To see what your own project can reach right now, call [`GET /v1/models`](/guides/ai-gateway-models#list-available-models). **Note: Set up the Neon backend with your AI agent** To build with the beta services including AI Gateway, install the Neon agent skills so your assistant knows how to provision and wire them up: ```bash npx neon@latest init ``` Then ask your assistant to get started with Neon. See the [backend beta guide](/guides/neon-docs-get-started-backend-overview) for access and setup, or [How a Neon backend fits together](/guides/neon-docs-get-started-backend-overview) for a tour of all five capabilities. ## Project-level permissions for all orgs [Last week](/guides/more-changelog-2026-07-31#project-level-permissions) we introduced project-level permissions to newly created organizations. Existing organizations are now supported, so every team on Neon has the four organization roles (**Admin**, **Editor**, **Viewer**, and **Collaborator**) and per-project permissions. See [Neon now has per-project permissions](https://neon.com/blog/neon-now-has-per-project-permissions) for the announcement, and [User permissions](/guides/manage-operate-manage-user-permissions) for the complete documentation. **Tip: Get started with project permissions** Go from everyone-sees-everything to scoped access in about five minutes. [Read the guide](/guides/manage-operate-manage-project-permissions-get-started). ## API keys and multiple accounts in the Neon CLI There are two new additions to the Neon CLI that go together: `api-keys` mints credentials, and `profile` stores them and switches between them. Together they let you give an agent a credential that reaches exactly one project, or work across a personal account and a work organization without juggling config directories. **Note: New to the Neon CLI?** Install it with `npm install -g neon`, then authenticate with `neon auth`. See the [install guide](/guides/apis-sdks-cli-install) and [CLI quickstart](/guides/apis-sdks-cli-quickstart) to get going. ### Manage API keys with `neon api-keys` Minting a key used to mean opening the Console or hand-rolling a `neon api` request. `neon api-keys` now covers listing, creating, and revoking keys at every scope: ```bash neon api-keys create --name ci # account key neon api-keys create --name ci --org-id org-example-12345678 # organization key neon api-keys create --name agent --project-id green-breeze-12345678 # one project only ``` Project-scoped keys are the reason this matters. A key created with `--project-id` can't create projects, can't mint more keys, and can't see any other project, which makes it safe to hand to an agent or a CI job instead of sharing your account. See the [`neon api-keys` reference](/guides/apis-sdks-cli-api-keys) and [Manage API keys](/guides/manage-operate-manage-api-keys) for key types and permissions. ### Use more than one account with `neon profile` The CLI could only hold one account at a time, so anyone working across two built their own workaround out of `--config-dir` and shell aliases. A profile is a name pointing at a credentials file, selected per invocation with `--profile` or `NEON_PROFILE`: ```bash neon auth --profile work # create or re-authenticate neon deploy --profile work # use it neon profile create ci --mint --project-id green-breeze-12345678 # or hold a scoped key, no browser ``` A profile can hold a browser sign-in or an API key, which is where it meets the scoped keys above. `--mint` signs in once, keeps only the minted key, and signs the session back out, so afterwards nothing about the profile can open a browser. The CLI also now stores its configuration in `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/neon`, or `~/.config/neon` if that isn't set. A pre-existing `neonctl` directory is still read in place, so there's no migration step. See the [`neon profile` reference](/guides/apis-sdks-cli-profile) for the full command set and for how `--profile` resolves against `NEON_API_KEY`. ## New NAT gateway IPs and VPC endpoint services in Europe (Frankfurt) We've expanded infrastructure capacity in the AWS Europe (Frankfurt) region (`eu-central-1`) with new NAT gateway IP addresses and new VPC endpoint service addresses for Private Networking. **Tip: Update your IP allowlists** If you have IP allowlists on external systems that Neon connects to, **update those allowlists to include the new NAT gateway addresses**. Connections may be affected intermittently if traffic routes through non-allowlisted NAT gateways. If you use Private Networking in `eu-central-1`, you can now use the additional VPC endpoint service addresses for enhanced capacity and reliability. See the [Regions documentation](/guides/manage-operate-introduction-regions#aws-nat-gateway-ip-addresses) for the complete list of NAT gateway IPs and the [Private Networking guide](/guides/resilience-architecture-guides-neon-private-networking) for VPC endpoint service addresses by region. ## Related pages - [Add users and authentication](./auth-index.md) - [AI tools for Agents](./ai-agents-on-neon-index.md) - [APIs & SDKs](./apis-sdks-index.md) - [Changelog](../changelog.md) - [Explore the full platform: functions, object storage, AI Gateway, and more](./neon-docs-index.md) - [Integrating with Neon](./building-on-neon-index.md) - [Lakebase Postgres](./postgres-index.md) - [More](./more-index.md) - [Neon AI Gateway](./ai-gateway-index.md) - [Neon community](./community-index.md) # Agent Instructions Cite this page’s canonical URL and keep its documentation version.
