The OpenAI provider for the AI SDK contains language model support for the OpenAI chat and completion APIs and embedding model support for the OpenAI embeddings API.

Deploying to Vercel? With Vercel's AI Gateway you can access OpenAI (and hundreds of models from other providers) — no additional packages, API keys, or extra cost. Get started with AI Gateway.

The OpenAI provider is available in the @ai-sdk/openai module. You can install it with

npm i @ai-sdk/openai

If you use coding agents such as Claude Code or Cursor, we highly recommend adding the AI SDK skill to your repository:

npx skills add vercel/ai

You can import the default provider instance openai from @ai-sdk/openai:

import { openai } from '@ai-sdk/openai';

import { openai } from '@ai-sdk/openai';
import { generateText } from 'ai';

const { text } = await generateText({
  model: openai('gpt-5-mini'),
  prompt: 'Write a vegetarian lasagna recipe for 4 people.',
});
