The helpers ship in AI SDK 6.0.321 and later on v6 and 7.0.160 and later on v7, and each costs $0.75 per 1,000 billable requests, with failed requests, timeouts and empty results carrying no tool charge and model tokens billed separately. DeepSeek Fetch can retrieve result URLs from alternative search tools when DeepSeek Search fails, though Vercel notes search fallback is model-directed, so provider order and retry limits are best effort.", "body_md": "[DeepSeek Search](https://vercel.com/ai-gateway/models/deepseek-search) and [DeepSeek Fetch](https://vercel.com/ai-gateway/models/deepseek-fetch) are now available through [AI Gateway](https://vercel.com/ai-gateway). Search finds relevant pages with titles, URLs, and summaries. Fetch retrieves page content as Markdown for your model to read.\n\nUse both tools with any model that supports tool calling, using one AI Gateway API key. No separate DeepSeek account is required, and you can keep the same tools when switching model providers.\n\nThese helpers are available in AI SDK 6.0.321 and later on v6, or 7.0.160 and later on v7. Update with `pnpm add ai@latest` and set your `AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY`. To combine search and page retrieval, pass both helpers in `tools`:\n\nYou can also use alternative search tools with DeepSeek Fetch if DeepSeek Search fails:\n\nSearch fallback is model-directed, so provider order and retry limits are best effort. DeepSeek Fetch can retrieve a result URL from any of these search tools.\n\nSearch and Fetch each cost $0.75 per 1,000 billable requests. Failed requests, timeouts, and empty results have no tool charge. Model tokens are billed separately.\n\nSee the [DeepSeek Search documentation](https://vercel.com/docs/ai-gateway/models-and-providers/web-search#using-deepseek-search) and [DeepSeek Fetch documentation](https://vercel.com/docs/ai-gateway/models-and-providers/web-search#using-deepseek-fetch) for configuration options and pricing details.\n\nAI Gateway provides one API for calling models, tracking usage and cost, and configuring routing, retries, and failover. You can use an [AI Gateway API key](https://vercel.com/docs/ai-gateway/authentication-and-byok/api-keys) or [bring your own provider key](https://vercel.com/docs/ai-gateway/authentication-and-byok/byok).", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/ai-gateway-adds-deepseek-search-and-fetch-tools", "canonical_source": "https://vercel.com/changelog/ai-gateway-adds-deepseek-search-and-fetch-tools", "published_at": "2026-11-06 21:00:00+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-11-06 22:50:15.300707+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-tools", "ai-agents", "developer-tools", "ai-search", "large-language-models"], "entities": ["Vercel", "AI Gateway", "DeepSeek", "DeepSeek Search", "DeepSeek Fetch", "AI SDK"], "also_reported_by": [], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/ai-gateway-adds-deepseek-search-and-fetch-tools", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/ai-gateway-adds-deepseek-search-and-fetch-tools.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/ai-gateway-adds-deepseek-search-and-fetch-tools.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/ai-gateway-adds-deepseek-search-and-fetch-tools.jsonld"}}
