Vercel AI Gateway is a middle-tier service tool for AI application developers, designed to simplify multi-model integration and manage workflows. It enables standardized calls to hundreds of AI models from mainstream providers such as OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI, etc. by building a unified API interface layer.
The development pain points it addresses at its core include:
- Multi-Key Management Challenges: developers don't need to maintain API keys from different vendors across applications
- Service continuity assurance: Intelligent fail-over mechanism automatically switches over to the standby model when the primary model service is interrupted.
- Cross-vendor experience differences: Harmonized request specification eliminates parameter differences across APIs
- Risk of cost uncontrollability: Built-in budget management and real-time monitoring features to prevent cost overruns
With these four core features, the tool enables developers to focus their efforts on the application logic itself rather than the underlying infrastructure maintenance.
