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

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:

@pawlean - 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!
