Vercel AI Gateway plugin for WordPress

Vercel released an AI Gateway plugin for WordPress that provides access to hundreds of AI models from over 40 providers through a single API key. The plugin integrates with the new WordPress AI Client, which requires the just-released WordPress 7.0, and enables any AI-powered plugin to automatically use the gateway without separate provider integrations or API keys. The tool offers multi-modal content generation, automatic fallbacks during provider outages, dynamic model discovery, and unified billing across providers.

The Vercel AI Gateway plugin gives any WordPress site access to hundreds of models from 40+ providers through a single API key. Providers include Anthropic, Google, OpenAI, xAI, DeepSeek, MiniMax, Moonshot AI, and more.

The plugin is implemented as a connector for the new WordPress AI Client, which requires WordPress 7.0, released today.

**Any AI-powered plugin works automatically. **Plugins built on the WordPress AI Client pick up the connector without their own provider integrations or API keys.

**One key, many providers. **Manage a single AI Gateway key in Settings > Connectors instead of credentials per provider.

Multi-modal content generation. Text, structured JSON, image generation and editing, and video, all through the same prompt builder.

**Automatic fallbacks. **AI features stay online during provider outages.

**Dynamic model discovery. **New models become available without a plugin update.

**Unified billing and observability **across providers, at provider prices.
