Instructor-curated digest, not original reporting. Optional further reading — not required for grades.
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.
Optional further reading for CS 4550 / CS 5610 — not required for labs or grades. If you try the SDK, start from the original post rather than assuming last year's AI SDK APIs.
