How do I generate text with multiple AI providers using Vercel AI SDK?

Vercel AI SDK v5 supports generateText and streamText across OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and Cloudflare Workers AI. Install the core ai package, configure provider API keys, and call generateText or streamText with your chosen model to produce backend AI outputs without vendor lock-in.

Can I stream AI responses from a backend server?

Yes, streamText and streamObject enable server-side streaming in Vercel AI SDK v5. Stream text or structured JSON responses in real-time from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or Cloudflare Workers AI by calling streamText or streamObject with your model and passing the stream to your client.

How do I get structured JSON output from an AI model?

Use generateObject or streamObject with Zod schemas to define your output structure. Vercel AI SDK v5 enforces schema validation across providers, ensuring type-safe JSON responses without manual parsing or error handling overhead.

What's the best way to implement multi-step agent workflows?

Vercel AI SDK v5 supports tool calling and agent patterns across multiple providers. Define tools, handle errors, and orchestrate multi-step tasks server-side using generateText or streamText with built-in error handling patterns and provider-specific tool integration.
