Heroku is introducing significant updates to Managed Inference and Agents . These changes focus on reducing developer friction, expanding model catalogue, and streamlining deployment workflows. More flexibility with the new standard plan Until now, Heroku’s model-based plans required developers to provision a specific add-on for a specific model. This created significant operational overhead. If you wanted to experiment with a different model or implement a fallback strategy, you had to provision a new add-on and manage multiple config variables.

You no longer need to reprovision resources to switch from a smaller model to a high-reasoning model. Instead, you simply update the model name in your code. This unified approach improves developer experience and allows for more robust application architectures.…
