tanstack-ai-migration

Move an app to TanStack AI from the Vercel AI SDK or raw provider SDKs, or move it off a deprecated TanStack AI API. Use when someone asks whether to switch AI libraries, when code mixes streamText, generateText, generateObject, createOpenAI, or @ai-sdk/* with TanStack AI, when an upgrade breaks, or when someone hits a renamed option, a deprecated -ui package, or an old adapter shape. Triggers on "migrate", "switch from Vercel AI SDK", "ai-sdk", "streamText", "upgrade TanStack AI", "deprecated", "breaking change", "codemod".

Migrating to TanStack AI

Two different jobs. Pick the one that matches the code in front of you.

Coming from another SDK

The name-by-name mapping lives in the docs, and it is longer than any summary that fits here:

https://tanstack.com/ai/latest/docs/migration/migration-from-vercel-ai

The shape of the change:

  • streamText and generateText become one chat() call with a streaming option.
  • createOpenAI(...) becomes a tree-shakeable adapter, such as openaiText() from @tanstack/ai-openai.
  • onFinish and friends become middleware hooks.
  • Manual SSE wiring becomes the built-in response helpers.
  • generateObject becomes structured outputs on chat().

Read the guide, then load the target API's own skill with npx @tanstack/intent@latest load @tanstack/ai#ai-core. Do not port from memory: a half-remembered mapping produces code that type-checks in neither SDK.

Upgrading TanStack AI itself

Start with the version the app has, and the current release:

node -p "require('@tanstack/ai/package.json').version"
npm view @tanstack/ai version

Then read the guides for what changed:

Deprecated APIs keep working, so upgrade in steps rather than rewriting everything at once.

Codemods

Some renames have a jscodeshift transform. Run it straight from the repo, and preview first with --dry --print:

npx jscodeshift \
  -t https://raw.githubusercontent.com/TanStack/ai/main/codemods/ag-ui-compliance/transform.ts \
  --dry --print src/

Each guide names the codemod that covers it, and what the codemod cannot reach. Server-side rewrites are usually manual.

After the port

Run the project's type checker. Most errors after a migration come from an API that was remembered rather than read, so check the failing name against node_modules/@tanstack/ai/src/ before changing it again.
