Instructor-curated digest, not original reporting. Each post paraphrases a public article and links to the original source.
On June 25, 2026, Vercel published AI SDK 7, the TypeScript SDK they describe as the layer for building AI applications, features, frameworks, and agents across model providers. The post frames the release as production depth for agent work: developing agents (reasoning control, typed tool and runtime context, provider file and skill uploads, MCP Apps, and a terminal UI), running them (tool approvals, durable WorkflowAgent, timeouts, and sandbox sessions), integrating established harnesses, and observing runs with telemetry and lifecycle events.
The same announcement also covers experimental provider-agnostic realtime voice sessions and generateVideo. A v7 codemod is mentioned for upgrades from AI SDK 6.
If you try the SDK, start from this release's APIs; they sit beside the Next.js app in Chapter 1, rather than last year's AI SDK surface.
