Vercel AI Updates: July 5, 2026

1. AI SDK Gateway Adds Alibaba wan2.7 Text-to-Video and Reference-to-Video Models

Vercel. Vercel shipped @ai-sdk/gateway@4.0.12, adding support for Alibaba’s wan2.7 text-to-video and reference-to-video models through a new media-generation protocol that introduces input.media, resolution, and ratio parameters. The release lets AI SDK applications route video-generation requests through the AI Gateway alongside existing text and image models, and updates the gateway’s model settings files to expose the new models. The change propagated across the AI SDK ecosystem in the same July 4 release wave, including the core ai@7.0.15 package that bumps its gateway dependency to pick up the new video models. Source
