How to use Azure as a provider for non-OpenAI models on Vercel

(edited)

Hi,

Azure actually offers a wide array of models (Anthropic models, Moonshot, and many more). It’s a shame we don’t have it as a provider yet, except for the OpenAI models. Integration should also be easy, as most models are OpenAI compatible.

Edit: even better, why not have custom openai compatible api endpoints as part of BYOK? There are quite a few companies getting into the game (DigitalOcean, Cloudflare, etc.).

Thanks a lot.

Are you talking about the AI SDK?

Currently, the @ai-sdk/azure provider is specifically designed for Azure OpenAI deployments. While Azure does host models from Anthropic and others, these aren’t accessible through our Azure provider yet.

I recommend checking out AI Gateway: https://vercel.com/ai-gateway/models

- I believe there is confusion.

Yes, I am referring to AI Gateway, and yes, I am well aware that Azure is not a provider for the cited models, and that’s the reason I am writing this and requesting/recommending Vercel to add this in their offering.

I was confused by your initial post, I’ve changed your post to Feedback and will share with our product team.

Thank you!
