# Vercel

Frontend deployment platform (Next.js) and creator of the **AI SDK** — an open-source TypeScript toolkit providing a provider-neutral `LanguageModel` interface for LLM text generation, streaming, structured outputs, embeddings, and tool calling. The AI SDK is the reference implementation of [model provider abstraction](/wiki/model-provider-abstraction): adapters exist for Anthropic, OpenAI, and any OpenAI-compatible endpoint including local models.

## Notable
- AI SDK patterns (generate → stream → structure → tools) map directly onto the [llm message protocol](/wiki/llm-message-protocol) and [structured outputs](/wiki/structured-outputs) concepts.
- Widely used as the teaching substrate for AI engineering education (e.g. AI Hero's AI SDK crash course).
