Executive Summary
Vercel now supports the deployment of LiteLLM Gateway, an open-source tool that gives developers a unified, OpenAI-compatible API endpoint. This allows applications hosted on Vercel to connect to any LLM provider supported by LiteLLM. The integration also enables routing requests for specific models through the Vercel AI Gateway itself.
