Why modelId is deprecated in the Vercel API and how to select models for cost control

(edited)

The API documentation says modelId is deprecated. The UI still lets you choose which model to work with.

Questions

Which model is the API working with by default?
Why do we not get a choice in the API?
What if we want to save on cost and don’t need the best model?

modelId was deprecated when v0 switched from specific models to the v0 Agent, which calls different models under the hood. Later, v0 rolled out 3 different agents (mini, pro, and max) which are primarily based on haiku, sonnet, and opus respectively. When this happened, the API was not updated to restore the modelId functionality

It currently corresponds to pro, which uses sonnet

I will ping the v0 team and see if we can get the option restored

Thanks you!
