Providers & Models

VoltAgent is built directly on top of the Vercel AI SDK. You choose an ai-sdk provider package (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral, Groq, Ollama, etc.) and pass the resulting LanguageModel to your Agent via the model prop.

• No extra VoltAgent provider package is required.
• Full compatibility with ai-sdk’s streaming, tool calling, and structured outputs.

Migration from Deprecated Providers

If you're currently using VoltAgent's native providers (@voltagent/anthropic-ai, @voltagent/google-ai, @voltagent/groq-ai), we recommend migrating to the Vercel AI SDK providers:

Before (Deprecated):

import { AnthropicProvider } from "@voltagent/anthropic-ai";

const provider = new AnthropicProvider({ apiKey: "..." });
const agent = new Agent({
  llm: provider,
  model: "claude-opus-4-1",
});

After (Recommended):

import { Agent } from "@voltagent/core";
import { anthropic } from "@ai-sdk/anthropic";

const agent = new Agent({
  model: anthropic("claude-3-5-sonnet"),
  instructions: "You are a helpful assistant",
});

Environment Variables

Most providers use environment variables for API keys:

# OpenAI
OPENAI_API_KEY=your-key

# Anthropic
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your-key

# Google
GOOGLE_GENERATIVE_AI_API_KEY=your-key

# Groq
GROQ_API_KEY=your-key

# And so on...

Next Steps

1. Choose a provider based on your needs (performance, cost, capabilities)
2. Install the corresponding package
3. Configure your API keys
4. Start building with VoltAgent!
