What this post added

Introduces Vercel BotID as a mechanism to protect AI endpoints from inference theft. Details the problem of inference theft, its architecture of abuse, and why traditional web defenses are insufficient. Explains that verification must run on every AI request, not just per session. Demonstrates implementation of request verification using BotID deep analysis within route handlers and client-side instrumentation. Highlights the cost asymmetry between inference and verification as a defense strategy.
