Azure is now available as a provider for DeepSeek V4 Pro and V4 Flash on Vercel AI Gateway, adding an additional failover path alongside existing providers. No code changes are needed for default routing, but developers can explicitly prioritize Azure using the `order` option in the AI SDK's gateway provider options. Existing Azure credentials can be used via BYOK. Vercel AI Gateway offers a unified API with usage tracking, cost monitoring, retries, failover, and Zero Data Retention support, with no platform fee on inference.
