AI SDK

Workers AI can be used with the AI SDK ↗ for JavaScript and TypeScript codebases.

Setup

Install the workers-ai-provider provider ↗:

Terminal window
npm install workers-ai-provider

Then, add an AI binding in your Workers project wrangler.toml file:

[ai]
binding = "AI"

Models

The AI SDK can be configured to work with any AI model.

import { createWorkersAI } from 'workers-ai-provider';


const workersai = createWorkersAI({ binding: env.AI });


// Choose any model: https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers-ai/models/
const model = workersai('@cf/meta/llama-3.1-8b-instruct', {});

Generate Text

Once you have selected your model, you can generate text from a given prompt.

import { createWorkersAI } from 'workers-ai-provider';
import { generateText } from 'ai';


type Env = {
  AI: Ai;
};


export default {
  async fetch(_: Request, env: Env) {
    const workersai = createWorkersAI({ binding: env.AI });
    const result = await generateText({
      model: workersai('@cf/meta/llama-2-7b-chat-int8'),
      prompt: 'Write a 50-word essay about hello world.',
    });


    return new Response(result.text);
  },
};

Stream Text

For longer responses, consider streaming responses to provide as the generation completes.

import { createWorkersAI } from 'workers-ai-provider';
import { streamText } from 'ai';


type Env = {
  AI: Ai;
};


export default {
  async fetch(_: Request, env: Env) {
    const workersai = createWorkersAI({ binding: env.AI });
    const result = streamText({
      model: workersai('@cf/meta/llama-2-7b-chat-int8'),
      prompt: 'Write a 50-word essay about hello world.',
    });


    return result.toTextStreamResponse({
      headers: {
        // add these headers to ensure that the
        // response is chunked and streamed
        'Content-Type': 'text/x-unknown',
        'content-encoding': 'identity',
        'transfer-encoding': 'chunked',
      },
    });
  },
};

Generate Structured Objects

You can provide a Zod schema to generate a structured JSON response.

import { createWorkersAI } from 'workers-ai-provider';
import { generateObject } from 'ai';
import { z } from 'zod';


type Env = {
  AI: Ai;
};


export default {
  async fetch(_: Request, env: Env) {
    const workersai = createWorkersAI({ binding: env.AI });
    const result = await generateObject({
      model: workersai('@cf/meta/llama-3.1-8b-instruct'),
      prompt: 'Generate a Lasagna recipe',
      schema: z.object({
        recipe: z.object({
          ingredients: z.array(z.string()),
          description: z.string(),
        }),
      }),
    });


    return Response.json(result.object);
  },
};
