# Vercel AI SDK

Last updated Aug 24, 2026|Copy as Markdown|[View as Markdown](https://docs-durable-objects-instance-replaced-errors.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/ai-gateway/integrations/vercel-ai-sdk/index.md)|[Agent setup](https://docs-durable-objects-instance-replaced-errors.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/agent-setup/)

The [Vercel AI SDK ↗](https://sdk.vercel.ai/) is a TypeScript library for building AI applications. The SDK supports many different AI providers, tools for streaming completions, and more. To use Cloudflare AI Gateway with Vercel AI SDK, you will need to use the `ai-gateway-provider` package.

## Installation

```bash
npm install ai-gateway-provider
```

## Examples

Make a request to 

![]() OpenAI

Unified

API with 

Stored Key (BYOK)

```javascript
import { createAiGateway } from 'ai-gateway-provider';
import { createUnified } from 'ai-gateway-provider/providers/unified';
import { generateText } from "ai";

const aigateway = createAiGateway({
  accountId: "{CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID}",
  gateway: '{GATEWAY_NAME}',
  apiKey: '{CF_AIG_TOKEN}',
});

const unified = createUnified();

const { text } = await generateText({
  model: aigateway(unified('openai/gpt-5.2')),
  prompt: 'What is Cloudflare?',
});
```

```javascript
import { createAiGateway } from 'ai-gateway-provider';
import { createUnified } from 'ai-gateway-provider/providers/unified';
import { generateText } from "ai";

const aigateway = createAiGateway({
  accountId: "{CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID}",
  gateway: '{GATEWAY_NAME}',
  apiKey: '{CF_AIG_TOKEN}',
});

const unified = createUnified();

const { text } = await generateText({
  model: aigateway(unified('anthropic/claude-4-5-sonnet')),
  prompt: 'What is Cloudflare?',
});
```

```javascript

### AI binding with third-party models

If you are already using the [workers-ai-provider ↗](https://www.npmjs.com/package/workers-ai-provider) package, you can route requests through AI Gateway to call third-party models without needing separate provider SDKs. Pass a `gateway` option with your gateway ID to `createWorkersAI`:

```js
import { createWorkersAI } from "workers-ai-provider";
import { streamText } from "ai";

export default {
	async fetch(request, env) {
		const workersai = createWorkersAI({
			binding: env.AI,
			gateway: { id: "my-gateway" },
		});

		const result = streamText({
			model: workersai("openai/gpt-4o"),
			messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Write a short story" }],
		});

		return result.toTextStreamResponse();
	},
};
```

```ts
import { createWorkersAI } from "workers-ai-provider";
import { streamText } from "ai";

export default {
	async fetch(request, env) {
		const workersai = createWorkersAI({
			binding: env.AI,
			gateway: { id: "my-gateway" },
		});

		const result = streamText({
			model: workersai("openai/gpt-4o"),
			messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Write a short story" }],
		});

		return result.toTextStreamResponse();
	},
} satisfies ExportedHandler<Env>;
```

This works with any [supported provider and model](https://docs-durable-objects-instance-replaced-errors.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/ai/models/) available through AI Gateway.

### Fallback Providers

To specify model or provider fallbacks to handle request failures and ensure reliability, you can pass an array of models to the `model` option.

```js
const { text } = await generateText({
	model: aigateway([openai.chat("gpt-5.1"), anthropic("claude-sonnet-4-5")]),
	prompt: "Write a vegetarian lasagna recipe for 4 people.",
});
```
