Unified model access
Use one API key and common gateway surface to access hundreds of models from providers such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and open-model vendors. Supported modalities include text, image, video, and audio.
Vercel AI Gateway
Freemium
Vercel AI Gateway gives developers one API surface for hundreds of text, image, video, and audio models across multiple providers. It centralizes model access, routing, fallback, billing, and observability while supporting AI SDK, OpenAI, and Anthropic workflows.
Vercel AI Gatewayとは？
Vercel AI Gateway is a hosted gateway for applications that use multiple AI model providers. It offers one API key and a common interface for hundreds of models spanning text, image, video, and audio workloads.
Developers can access the gateway through the Vercel AI SDK or compatible OpenAI Chat Completions, OpenAI Responses, and Anthropic Messages workflows. Existing OpenAI and Anthropic integrations can be migrated by changing the base URL rather than rewriting model calls.
Beyond access, the gateway combines provider routing, automatic fallback, billing, and observability. Requests can be directed according to availability, cost, or latency, while fallback can move a request to the same model through another provider when the primary provider degrades. The service states that it passes through provider pricing without token markups.
Vercel AI Gatewayでできること
Compatible SDK workflows
Use the Vercel AI SDK with TypeScript or Python, or work through Chat Completions, Messages, and Responses interfaces. Existing OpenAI and Anthropic SDK integrations can be moved by changing the base URL.
Policy-based routing
Route requests for availability, cost, or latency. The gateway describes patterns including cost-efficient models for routine requests, larger models for heavier work, and fast-responding models for latency-sensitive requests.
Provider fallback
If a provider degrades, the gateway can fail over to the same model through another provider, helping applications continue serving requests without changing the application-level model choice.
Centralized billing and observability
View billing and observability across the AI stack in one place instead of managing each provider separately. The product page states that token prices are passed through without a markup.
Data-retention controls
Requests can be routed only to providers covered by a zero-data-retention agreement. The source describes this control as configurable per request or for an entire team.
利用シーン
“Move an existing provider integration”
A team with OpenAI or Anthropic SDK code can point its integration at AI Gateway with a base URL change, preserving the existing request style while gaining access to additional providers and models.
“Keep a production model available during provider issues”
An application that depends on a particular model can configure provider fallback so requests use the same model through another provider when the primary provider degrades.
“Balance model cost and response speed”
A product can use routing rules to send routine requests to a cost-efficient model, route latency-sensitive requests to the fastest responding option, and reserve larger models for more demanding work.
“Evaluate models before adoption”
Engineering or product teams can use the model directory to compare capabilities, providers, input and output prices, latency, modalities, and listed data-handling attributes before selecting a model.
“Apply stricter data-handling requirements”
A team that requires zero data retention can configure routing to providers covered by a ZDR agreement, either for individual requests or across the team.
よくある質問
What is Vercel AI Gateway?
It is a gateway for accessing hundreds of AI models from multiple providers through one API surface and API key. It also provides routing, fallback, billing, and observability features.
Which model types does AI Gateway support?
The product page lists text, image, video, and audio models. The model directory also exposes filters for modalities including retrieval, evaluation, and tools.
Can existing OpenAI or Anthropic applications use the gateway?
Yes. Vercel states that existing OpenAI and Anthropic SDK integrations can be pointed at AI Gateway by changing the base URL, without rewriting the calls.
How does provider fallback work?
When a provider degrades, the gateway can fail over to the same model through another provider. The page presents this as a way to maintain availability while keeping the application-level model choice.
Does AI Gateway add a markup to model token prices?
The product page says there is no markup on tokens and that users pay provider prices. It also says invoicing is available without payment-processing fees; current model pricing and promotions should be checked in the gateway documentation and model directory.
