The Vercel AI SDK provides React hooks, streaming utilities, and provider abstractions for building AI-powered UIs. Works with any LLM provider. The standard for AI web apps.
Reviewer scorecard
“Runs everywhere — Workers, Deno, Bun, Node. The middleware system and RPC mode are well-designed.”
“useChat and useCompletion hooks make AI UIs trivial. Provider abstraction means switching models is a one-line change.”
“The portability across runtimes is genuinely useful. Express-like familiarity with modern performance.”
“Well-maintained, provider-agnostic, and genuinely useful. The streaming utilities alone save hours of boilerplate.”
“A universal web framework that runs on any runtime is the right abstraction for the multi-runtime future.”
“The AI SDK is becoming the standard abstraction for AI in web apps. Tool calling and structured output support are excellent.”
