What is Vercel AI Gateway?
Vercel AI Gateway is a single endpoint for calling hundreds of models from many providers, with spend controls, automatic fallbacks and observability. It works with the AI SDK and any OpenAI-compatible client, and it is part of the Vercel platform.
You can switch models by changing a string, set budgets, see latency and cost per request, and bring your own provider keys. Tokens are billed at provider list prices without markup.
Every Vercel team gets a small monthly free credit for testing. It is used by teams building AI features on Next.js and other frameworks deployed on Vercel.
