Submission declined on 24 August 2025 by Caleb Stanford (talk).

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
reliable
secondary
independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you have not resolved the issues listed above, your draft will be declined again and potentially deleted.
If you need extra help, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors.
Please do not remove reviewer comments or this notice until the submission is accepted.

Where to get help

If you need help editing or submitting your draft, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors. These venues are only for help with editing and the submission process, not to get reviews.
If you need feedback on your draft, or if the review is taking a lot of time, you can try asking for help on the talk page of a relevant WikiProject. Some WikiProjects are more active than others so a speedy reply is not guaranteed.

AI SDK is an open-source TypeScript toolkit created by Vercel for building applications powered by large language models (LLM). It provides a unified API to interact with multiple AI providers and offers utilities for rendering chat interfaces and generative UIs in web applications.

AI SDK was released by Vercel on June 15, 2023^[2]. It is designed to support both frontend and backend environments using JavaScript and TypeScript. It enables developers to build streaming chat UIs, structured AI outputs, and tool-using agents across different AI model providers including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Hugging Face, and xAI.^[4]

The AI SDK is built to integrate with frameworks such as Next.js, React, Vue, and Svelte. It includes support for real-time streaming, typed JSON responses, tool calling, image generation, and multimodal interaction.

Features

Unified APIs for generateText, streamText, generateObject, streamObject

UI hooks for chat state (e.g. useChat, useCompletion)

JSON schema validation via Zod

Model abstraction layer with pluggable providers

Support for structured outputs, image generation, and function calling

Compatible with Vercel AI Gateway, which enables provider switching and central billing^[5]

Development history

The AI SDK project is maintained by Vercel and the open-source community. Core contributors listed on GitHub include Lars Grammel, Max Leiter, Shu Ding, Jeremy Danyow, Nico Martin, and Jared Palmer^[6]

Version 1.0 was introduced in June 2023 with streaming support and unified model APIs.^[2]

Version 3.0 added support for rendering LLM outputs as React Server Components.

Version 4.0 (November 2024) introduced PDF summarization, long-form generation, and integration with xAI’s Grok.^[7]

Version 5.0 (July 2025) added type-safe chat interfaces, agentic control loops, and framework-agnostic streaming tools.^[3]

Enterprise adoption

In June 2025, WPP, the world’s largest advertising group, announced an expanded partnership with Vercel to integrate its AI tools, including the AI SDK, across WPP’s global network. The partnership was described as a way to speed up UI generation and improve developer efficiency by up to 25 percent.^[8]

The SDK has also been adopted by Upstash, a serverless data platform, which has documented production use cases combining its Redis and Vector database services with the Vercel AI SDK for caching, rate limiting and semantic search.^[9]

Open-source adoption

Beyond enterprise adoption, the AI SDK has seen widespread uptake in the open-source community. GitHub lists more than 80,000 dependent repositories, including projects maintained by major technology companies. Examples include Microsoft (^[10], ^[11]), Intel (^[12]), Red Hat (^[13]), GitHub (^[14]) and Elastic (^[15]). Other industry players with public repositories depending on the SDK include Sentry (^[16]), Algolia (^[17]), SST (^[18]), Commercetools (^[19]), and Prisma (^[20]).
