## AI overview

Claude Opus 4.8 is now available through Vercel AI Gateway and the AI SDK. It is designed for long-horizon agentic execution, complex multi-step coding tasks, and knowledge work. AI Gateway offers unified model access, usage and cost tracking, retries, failover, performance optimization, reporting, Zero Data Retention support, and provider selection based on latency and cost without adding inference fees.

## Source excerpt

Claude Opus 4.8 is now available on Vercel AI Gateway. Claude Opus 4.8 is built for long-horizon agentic execution and handles complex, multi-step coding tasks like refactors that previously required human correction mid-task. The model also produces clearer, less hedgy prose for knowledge work like drafting documents, analyzing data, and building presentations. To use Opus 4.8, set model to anthropic/claude-opus-4.8 in the AI SDK. AI Gateway provides a unified API for calling models, tracking usage and cost, and configuring retries, failover, and performance optimizations for higher-than-provider uptime. It includes built-in custom reporting, Zero Data Retention support, dynamic provider sorting by latency & cost, and more. AI Gateway reflects provider pricing with no markup and does not charge a platform fee on inference, including on Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) requests.
