It enables AI models to search curated data and the live web, filter results, and provide current answers with citations and visualizations. Tako Search works with any model on AI Gateway and does not require a separate Tako account or API key. ### Source excerpt Tako Search is free exclusively on AI Gateway through September 30. It lets AI models search Tako's curated data and the live web, filter web results by domain or publication date, and use the results to answer questions with current information, citations, and visualizations. After September 30, searches are billed at standard rates. The same integration works with any model on AI Gateway, so you can switch models without changing your search setup. You also don't need a separate Tako account or API key. To use Tako Search with the AI SDK, add gateway.tools.takoSearch() to a generateText or streamText request. The model can then call it when it needs current information: Try Tako Search in the AI Gateway playground. See the web search documentation for configuration and search options.

The announcement lists launch and standard pricing and describes Gateway features for model access, usage tracking, cost controls, retries, and failover. ### Source excerpt Claude Sonnet 5 from Anthropic is now available on AI Gateway. Sonnet 5 improves on Sonnet 4.6 across coding and agentic work, reaching outcomes on many tasks that previously needed an Opus model, at Sonnet pricing. The model is more agentic and follows instructions more closely. Document parsing and long-context memory use are also stronger. Sonnet 5 also uses an updated tokenizer, like the recent Opus models, which can map the same input to more tokens. Launch pricing of $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens runs through August 31, 2026. Standard list price will be $3/M input tokens, $15/M output tokens. To use Sonnet 5, set model to anthropic/claude-sonnet-5 in the AI SDK: You can also try Sonnet 5 in the model playground. 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, budgets for API keys, and more.

Developers can use the realtime example, quickstart, or browser playground, with observability, spend controls, bring-your-own-key support, and no markup or platform fees. ### Source excerpt AI Gateway now supports voice and audio models. You can build realtime voice agents, generate speech from text, and transcribe audio to text. This provides the same observability, spend controls, and bring-your-own-key support as text, image, and video models in AI Gateway, with no markup or platform fees. These capabilities are in beta and available via AI SDK 7. With realtime support, a single model takes audio in and audio out, so a user can talk and hear a reply back in near real time instead of waiting on a chain of separate models. Capability What it does Realtime voice agents Model listens to the user, works out a response, and speaks it back in a live, low-latency conversation. It can call your tools mid-conversation to look something up or take an action. The useRealtime hook handles microphone capture and playback. Text to speech Generate spoken audio from text, with a selectable voice and output format such as MP3. Use it for voiceovers, audio versions of written content, and spoken responses. Speech to text Transcribe recordings into text, from a file buffer, base64 string, or URL. Use it for voice notes or other transcriptions. Two ways to get started: Follow the realtime example below or the realtime quickstart to add a voice agent to your app. Use the playground. Talk to a realtime model in the browser, no code required, in the AI Gateway Playground. Realtime example A voice agent has two pieces: a server route that mints a short-lived token, so your API key never reaches the client, and a browser component that connects with it. Add the token route: Then connect from the browser. The useRealtime hook fetches that route and manages the WebSocket connection, microphone capture, and audio playback: Playground You can also try audio models without writing any code. Open the models page, click into a model, and interact with it right in the browser: Talk to a realtime model to hold a voice conversation Send text and have a transcription model read it back ## Meet Nuxi DevFeed: [Meet Nuxi]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Published: 2026-06-09T00:00:00Z Content type: release Language: en Sources: [The Nuxt Blog]() Topics: [AI Chat](), [MSP MCP]() Tags: [agent](), [ai](), [article](), [developer-experience](), [docs](), [github](), [mcp](), [playground](), [ui]() ### AI overview Nuxt announces Nuxi, a context-aware AI companion for nuxt.com.
