Call Jev through Vercel AI Gateway
Putting Jev behind AI SDK takes more than making one request. This complete workflow bounds input, total time, and retries; validates the Choice distribution; and sends every uncertain result to human review.
Evidence boundary: offline mocks exercise the real Gateway provider serialization, error mapping, and AI SDK validation. This site did not use a production key, so it makes no claim about live latency, cost, or accuracy.
Separate Gateway from direct access
VERCEL AI GATEWAY
typesafe-ai/jev
- Credential
- AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY or Vercel OIDC
- Tested packages
- ai@7.0.123
@ai-sdk/gateway@4.0.101 - Call
- experimental_evaluate
TYPESAFE DIRECT
jev-latest / jev-1.14.0
- Credential
- TYPESAFE_API_KEY
- Package
- @typesafe-ai/sdk or @ai-sdk/typesafe-ai
- Difference
- Separate host, billing, and response metadata
Gateway Choice probabilities are optional generic AI SDK fields, not the native confidence in TypeSafe direct provider metadata. Do not mix model IDs, credentials, prices, or limits between these access paths.

Failure never grants automation
| Signal | Transport action | Business result |
|---|---|---|
| Invalid input | No request | review · invalid_input |
| 401 / 403 | No retry | review · provider_or_validation_failure |
| 429 / 408 / 409 / 5xx | At most one retry inside total budget | Validate on success; otherwise review |
| 8-second total deadline | Abort the in-flight request | review · provider_or_validation_failure |
| Missing or malformed probabilities | Do not invent a distribution | review · invalid_response |
| Winning option below 0.75 | Do not route automatically | review · low_probability |
| Model selects human | No side effect | review · human_label |
Total budget
The deadline covers the first attempt and retry; it is not reset per attempt.
At most one retry
401 is not retried. Retryable rate/service errors get one more attempt inside the total budget.
Illustrative threshold
This teaching policy is not a calibrated production cutoff. Select one on your own labeled data.
The model proposes; your application decides
This example owns
- Input allowlist and length cap
- Transport deadline and bounded retry
- Option, probability, and distribution validation
- Pure suggest / review policy output
Your application owns
- Sensitive-data redaction and retention
- Threshold calibration and offline evaluation
- Queue writes, notifications, refunds, and other side effects
- Human approval, audit, and rollback
