 ## Unified Provider Architecture
 
-The AI SDK provides a [unified API](https://ai-sdk.dev/docs/foundations/providers-and-models) to interact with model providers like [OpenAI](https://ai-sdk.dev/providers/ai-sdk-providers/openai), [Anthropic](https://ai-sdk.dev/providers/ai-sdk-providers/anthropic), [Google](https://ai-sdk.dev/providers/ai-sdk-providers/google-generative-ai), and [more](https://ai-sdk.dev/providers/ai-sdk-providers).

 By default, the AI SDK uses the [Vercel AI Gateway](https://vercel.com/docs/ai-gateway) to give you access to all major providers out of the box. Just pass a model string for any supported model:
 
 ```ts
 const result = await generateText({
-  model: 'anthropic/claude-opus-4.5', // or 'openai/gpt-5.4', 'google/gemini-3-flash', etc.

   prompt: 'Hello!',
