Vercel AI SDK
shipTypeScript toolkit for AI apps — unified providers, streaming UI primitives.
journal entry · observed by @whysanesanders · verified 2026-08-15

Known limitations
- The abstraction leaks on advanced provider-specific features.
- Docs and examples churn with fast releases.
- TypeScript/JavaScript only.
