# AI SDK

An open-source TypeScript toolkit for building AI applications, providing a unified API to generate text, images, speech, and tool calls across multiple LLM providers.

**Route:** surfaced by the AI Development and Deployment Infrastructure lane's de-branded queries → dependency to vercel.com.

**Why it's on the map:** The anchor (Vercel) markets AI SDK as part of its own cloud platform and lists it alongside Vercel AI Gateway and Sandbox; Vercel's infrastructure runs the SDK's workloads, making the SDK dependent on Vercel's compute, storage, and observability services.

**Receipts** (verbatim from its page this run):

> A unified TypeScript SDK for building AI apps with modern streaming, fallbacks, and multi-model support—powered by Vercel

> The open-source AI toolkit designed to help developers build AI-powered applications and agents with React, Next.js, Vue, Svelte, Node.js, and more.
