The AI SDK 3.1 introduces AI SDK Core, which allows developers to interact directly with large language models (LLMs) from various leading providers. This means developers can experiment with different models and providers easily, simplifying the process of integrating AI into their applications.
Jared Palmer, VP of AI at Vercel, believes that the Vercel AI SDK and Next.js provide the foundation for the next wave of AI-native user experiences. He states, “Vercel is uniquely positioned to build the AI framework for the web due to its position in the stack, both at the framework and infrastructure levels.”
The AI SDK Core offers powerful methods for text generation, object generation, and tool use. This enables developers to create interactive and responsive AI experiences without compromising performance. The Language Model Specification, which is now open-source, provides an abstraction across AI providers, similar to how an ORM abstracts working with different databases.
Vercel’s acquisition of ModelFusion.dev expands the capabilities of the AI SDK 3.1. It brings easy-to-use AI functions to the framework and simplifies the process of generating structured objects for automation and agent development. Developers can define JSON schemas and coerce LLMs to output typed, structured objects that fit the defined schema.
Industry analysts believe that Vercel’s move into the enterprise AI space is well-timed. As businesses increasingly seek to harness the power of AI to improve their operations and customer experiences, Vercel’s comprehensive AI framework and infrastructure offerings position them strategically in the growing enterprise AI market.
Vercel is excited about the future of AI-native products on the web. Palmer states, “Vercel’s unique position across both frameworks and infrastructure layers positions us exceptionally well to deliver the definitive AI framework for TypeScript with AI SDK.”
With the release of the AI SDK 3.1 and the acquisition of ModelFusion.dev, Vercel is showing their commitment to empowering developers and enterprises with the tools they need to build innovative, AI-driven applications. As the AI landscape continues to evolve, Vercel is at the forefront of providing cutting-edge solutions for businesses.
