Overview: GPT-5 models provide next-generation AI capabilities with enhanced reasoning, multimodal understanding, and improved performance across all tasks.
Available GPT-5 Models:
gpt-5 - Flagship model
import { openai } from '@ai-sdk/openai'
const model = openai('gpt-5')
gpt-5-mini - Balanced model
const model = openai('gpt-5-mini')
gpt-5-nano - Lightweight model
const model = openai('gpt-5-nano')
Integration Examples:
// Using with streamText for chat
import { streamText } from 'ai'
import { openai } from '@ai-sdk/openai'
const result = await streamText({
model: openai('gpt-5-mini'),
messages,
// GPT-5 excels at multi-step reasoning
system: 'Think step-by-step before answering.',
})
// Using with generateText for single responses
import { generateText } from 'ai'
import { openai } from '@ai-sdk/openai'
const { text } = await generateText({
model: openai('gpt-5'), // Use flagship for complex tasks
prompt: 'Analyze this codebase and suggest architectural improvements',
temperature: 0.7,
})
// Using with streamObject for structured output
import { streamObject } from 'ai'
import { openai } from '@ai-sdk/openai'
import { z } from 'zod'
const { partialObjectStream } = await streamObject({
model: openai('gpt-5-nano'), // Fast extraction
schema: z.object({
entities: z.array(z.string()),
sentiment: z.enum(['positive', 'negative', 'neutral']),
}),
prompt: 'Extract entities and sentiment from this text',
})
Advanced GPT-5 Features:
// Multimodal with GPT-5
import { generateText } from 'ai'
import { openai } from '@ai-sdk/openai'
const { text } = await generateText({
model: openai('gpt-5'),
messages: [{
role: 'user',
content: [
{ type: 'text', text: 'What\'s in this image?' },
{ type: 'image', image: base64ImageData },
],
}],
})
// Enhanced tool calling with GPT-5
const result = await streamText({
model: openai('gpt-5-mini'),
tools: {
analyze: tool({
description: 'Perform deep analysis',
parameters: z.object({
topic: z.string(),
depth: z.enum(['surface', 'detailed', 'comprehensive']),
}),
execute: async (params) => {
// GPT-5's improved function calling rarely needs retries
return performAnalysis(params)
},
}),
},
toolChoice: 'auto', // GPT-5 has superior tool selection
})
Model Selection Guidelines:
| Use Case | Recommended Model | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Production chatbot | gpt-5-mini | Balance of capability and cost |
| Code generation | gpt-5 | Superior understanding of complex logic |
| Real-time autocomplete | gpt-5-nano | Sub-100ms latency |
| Document analysis | gpt-5 | Best for long context and reasoning |
| API classification | gpt-5-nano | Fast and cost-effective |
| Creative writing | gpt-5 | Highest quality output |
| Customer support | gpt-5-mini | Good reasoning with reasonable cost |
| Data extraction | gpt-5-nano | Quick structured output |
Performance Characteristics:
// Latency expectations
const latencyGuide = {
'gpt-5': '800-1500ms first token',
'gpt-5-mini': '300-600ms first token',
'gpt-5-nano': '50-150ms first token',
}
// Context windows
const contextLimits = {
'gpt-5': 200_000, // 200K tokens
'gpt-5-mini': 128_000, // 128K tokens
'gpt-5-nano': 32_000, // 32K tokens
}
// Relative costs (approximate)
const relativeCosts = {
'gpt-5': 1.0, // Baseline
'gpt-5-mini': 0.4, // 40% of gpt-5
'gpt-5-nano': 0.1, // 10% of gpt-5
}
Migration from GPT-4:
// Before (GPT-4)
const model = openai('gpt-4o')
// After (GPT-5) - Drop-in replacement
const model = openai('gpt-5-mini')
// No other code changes needed - fully compatible API
Overview: AI Elements is a comprehensive component library built on shadcn/ui designed specifically for AI-native applications. It provides ready-to-use, composable UI elements that handle complex AI interaction patterns out of the box. Unlike traditional component libraries hidden in node_modules, AI Elements components are added directly to your codebase, giving you full control and visibility.
Detailed Setup Process:
# 1. Initialize AI Elements in your project (interactive CLI)
npx ai-elements@latest
# The CLI will:
# - Detect your project framework (Next.js, Vite, etc.)
# - Check for Tailwind CSS and configure if needed
# - Let you select components to install
# - Add components directly to your src/components/ai-elements/ directory
# - Set up required dependencies
# 2. Select components during installation:
# ✓ Message - Core message display component
# ✓ Prompt Input - Input field with toolbar
# ✓ Response - AI response container
# ✓ Tool - Tool invocation display
# ✓ Loader - Loading states
# ✓ Sources - Citation management
# ... and more
# 3. Components are now in YOUR codebase:
ls -la src/components/ai-elements/
# message.tsx
# prompt-input.tsx
# response.tsx
# tool.tsx
# loader.tsx
# ...
Key Concept - Components Live in Your Code:

// app/chat/page.tsx - Real-world implementation
'use client';
import { useChat } from '@ai-sdk/react';
// Components are imported from YOUR codebase, not a library
import { Message, MessageAvatar, MessageContent } from '@/components/ai-elements/message';
import { Response } from '@/components/ai-elements/response';
import { Tool } from '@/components/ai-elements/tool';
import { Loader } from '@/components/ai-elements/loader';
import { PromptInput, PromptInputTextarea } from '@/components/ai-elements/prompt-input';
import { Suggestion, Suggestions } from '@/components/ai-elements/suggestion';
export default function ChatPage() {
const { messages, input, handleInputChange, handleSubmit, isLoading } = useChat({
api: '/api/chat',
});
return (
<div className="max-w-4xl mx-auto p-4">
{/* Message List */}
<div className="space-y-4 mb-4">
{messages.map((message) => (
<Message key={message.id} variant={message.role}>
<MessageAvatar role={message.role} />
<MessageContent>
{/* Handle different message parts */}
{message.toolInvocations?.map((invocation) => (
<Tool
key={invocation.toolCallId}
name={invocation.toolName}
input={invocation.args}
isLoading={!invocation.result}
>
{invocation.result && (
<div>{JSON.stringify(invocation.result, null, 2)}</div>
)}
</Tool>
))}
{/* Main message content */}
<Response>{message.content}</Response>
</MessageContent>
</Message>
))}
{/* Loading state */}
{isLoading && (
<Message variant="assistant">
<MessageAvatar role="assistant" />
<MessageContent>
<Loader />
</MessageContent>
</Message>
)}
</div>
{/* Quick suggestions */}
{messages.length === 0 && (
<Suggestions>
<Suggestion onClick={() => handleInputChange({ target: { value: 'What can you help me with?' } })}>
What can you help me with?
</Suggestion>
<Suggestion onClick={() => handleInputChange({ target: { value: 'Tell me about AI Elements' } })}>
Tell me about AI Elements
</Suggestion>
</Suggestions>
)}
{/* Input area */}
<PromptInput onSubmit={handleSubmit}>
<PromptInputTextarea
value={input}
onChange={handleInputChange}
placeholder="Type your message..."
disabled={isLoading}
/>
</PromptInput>
</div>
);
}
Extensibility:
All AI Elements components take as many primitive attributes as possible. For example, the Message component extends HTMLAttributes<HTMLDivElement>, so you can pass any props that a div supports. This makes it easy to extend the component with your own styles or functionality.
Customization:
// Since components live in YOUR code, you can modify them directly:
// Before: src/components/ai-elements/message.tsx
export function Message({ children, variant, className }) {
return (
<div className={cn(
"flex gap-3 p-4 rounded-lg", // <- You can remove rounded-lg
variant === 'user' && "bg-blue-50",
variant === 'assistant' && "bg-gray-50",
className
)}>
{children}
</div>
);
}
// After your customization:
export function Message({ children, variant, className, noBorder }) {
return (
<div className={cn(
"flex gap-3 p-4", // Removed rounded-lg
!noBorder && "border-b", // Added custom border
variant === 'user' && "bg-gradient-to-r from-blue-50 to-transparent", // Custom gradient
variant === 'assistant' && "bg-gray-50",
className
)}>
{children}
</div>
);
}
Usage Example (from official docs):
'use client';
import {
Message,
MessageAvatar,
MessageContent,
} from '@/components/ai-elements/message';
import { useChat } from '@ai-sdk/react';
import { Response } from '@/components/ai-elements/response';
const Example = () => {
const { messages } = useChat();
return (
<>
{messages.map(({ role, parts }, index) => (
<Message from={role} key={index}>
<MessageContent>
{parts.map((part, i) => {
switch (part.type) {
case 'text':
return <Response key={`${role}-${i}`}>{part.text}</Response>;
}
})}
</MessageContent>
</Message>
))}
</>
);
};
export default Example;
Installation (two methods):
# Via AI Elements CLI
npx ai-elements@latest add code-block
# Via shadcn CLI (recommended for existing shadcn projects)
bunx shadcn@latest add @ai-elements/code-block
Features:
experimental_useObject hookProps:
interface CodeBlockProps {
code?: string;
language?: string;
showLineNumbers?: boolean;
className?: string;
children?: React.ReactNode;
}
interface CodeBlockCopyButtonProps {
onCopy?: () => void;
onError?: (error: Error) => void;
timeout?: number;
className?: string;
}
Usage Example:
import { CodeBlock, CodeBlockCopyButton } from '@/components/ai-elements/code-block';
// Basic usage
<CodeBlock code={generatedCode} language="typescript" />
// With line numbers
<CodeBlock code={code} language="python" showLineNumbers />
// In AI chat context - rendering code from message parts
{message.parts?.map((part, i) => {
if (part.type === 'code') {
return (
<CodeBlock
key={i}
code={part.code}
language={part.language || 'typescript'}
showLineNumbers
>
<CodeBlockCopyButton />
</CodeBlock>
);
}
return null;
})}
AI SDK Integration (streaming code generation):
'use client';
import { experimental_useObject as useObject } from '@ai-sdk/react';
import { CodeBlock } from '@/components/ai-elements/code-block';
import { z } from 'zod';
const codeSchema = z.object({
code: z.string(),
language: z.string(),
explanation: z.string(),
});
export function CodeGenerator() {
const { object, submit, isLoading } = useObject({
api: '/api/generate-code',
schema: codeSchema,
});
return (
<div>
<button onClick={() => submit({ prompt: 'Write a React hook' })}>
Generate Code
</button>
{object?.code && (
<CodeBlock
code={object.code}
language={object.language}
showLineNumbers
/>
)}
</div>
);
}
Re-installation with Preservation:
# When updating or adding new components:
npx ai-elements@latest
# CLI detects modified components and asks:
# ⚠️ message.tsx has been modified. Options:
# 1. Skip (keep your changes)
# 2. Overwrite (lose your changes)
# 3. View diff
# Choose: 1
# This ensures your customizations are never lost accidentally
Tailwind CSS Integration:
// AI Elements uses your existing Tailwind configuration
// Components reference your design tokens:
// Uses your configured colors
<Message className="bg-primary text-primary-foreground" />
// Works with your custom Tailwind utilities
<Response className="prose prose-brand" />
// Respects your dark mode settings
<Tool className="dark:bg-gray-800" />
Key Benefits:
Philosophy:
AI Elements follows the shadcn/ui philosophy:
Common Patterns:
// Streaming responses with partial rendering
{message.content && (
<Response isStreaming={isLoading}>
{message.content}
</Response>
)}
// Tool invocations with results
{toolInvocations.map(tool => (
<Tool
key={tool.id}
name={tool.name}
input={tool.input}
isLoading={tool.state === 'calling'}
>
{tool.result && <ToolResult data={tool.result} />}
</Tool>
))}
// Error handling
<ErrorBoundary fallback={<Error onRetry={retry} />}>
<Message>{riskyContent}</Message>
</ErrorBoundary>
// Custom avatar logic
<MessageAvatar
src={message.role === 'user' ? userAvatar : '/ai-avatar.png'}
fallback={message.role === 'user' ? 'U' : 'AI'}
/>
Advanced Features:
// Tool components are imported from your local installation
import { Tool } from '@/components/ai-elements/tool';
// Use the Tool component for displaying tool invocations
<Tool
name="weather"
isLoading={isExecuting}
>
{result && (
<div className="p-2">
{JSON.stringify(result, null, 2)}
</div>
)}
</Tool>

tool_choice only when needed. Prefer parallel tool calls where ops are independent; return all tool_result blocks in one user message and put them before any text. Keep chain-of-thought out of final output; don’t rely on tags. See: How to implement tool use, Tool use examples, Building effective agents.Vercel AI SDK (production tips)
streamText / toAIStreamResponse()), surface progress in UI. Use streamObject/generateObject for typed outputs; capture usage in onFinish for token cost tracking. Client-side tools: drive UI with onToolCall and addToolResult when appropriate; keep sensitive actions server-side. New UI packages (@ai-sdk/react) reduce bundle size.

<!-- Anthropic tool results formatting reminder -->
- Assistant emits multiple `tool_use` blocks in one message when parallel.
- Next user message must contain all matching `tool_result` blocks first, then any text.
