Overview

The Vercel AI SDK is a simple way to use AI models from many different providers, including OpenAI, Microsoft Azure, Google Generative AI, Anthropic, Amazon Bedrock, Groq, Perplexity and more. It provides a consistent interface to interact with the different AI models, so you can easily switch between them without needing to change your code.
