OpenAI chat requests now send inline images as proper data URLs instead of bare base64, rolling out across Azure, Bedrock, and Anthropic integrations in one coordinated push.

The AI SDK shipped critical image handling fixes across its entire provider lineup [1][2][3][4][5]. OpenAI's image serialization now uses data URLs for inline file parts, eliminating a parsing issue that could break multimodal requests. The fix cascaded immediately to Azure and Bedrock consumers, while Anthropic and Vertex integrations received matching dependency bumps to keep image handling consistent across the SDK surface. In parallel, the shop template migrated its AI shopping assistant to eve [6][7], replacing hand-rolled Vercel AI SDK plumbing with durable sessions and resumable workflows. This is how the SDK matures: fixing core primitives so abstractions built on top work reliably. Chat SDK expanded its adapter ecosystem with Dial's vendor-official SMS/MMS/iMessage support [9] and Zaileys' WhatsApp community adapter [8], broadening where agents can operate without writing custom transport layers.

Action items

→ Update @ai-sdk/openai to 4.0.8 if using inline image uploads in OpenAI chat vercel/ai [immediate]
→ Bump @ai-sdk/azure, @ai-sdk/amazon-bedrock to latest for image handling consistency vercel/ai [plan]
→ Review eve migration pattern in shop template if building durable agents vercel/shop [monitor]
→ Evaluate Dial adapter for SMS/voice-call flows in Chat SDK implementations vercel/chat [monitor]
