Research direction

Start by reviewing linked pull request #1238 and the existing Vercel AI SDK example. The requested entry points are examples/miscellaneous/aimlapi, examples/README.md, and examples/examples.json. Done means the example uses the requested provider and model environment variable, and is listed under miscellaneous.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Hi! I'm Hugo from aimlapi.com — an AI aggregator that gives access to 1000+ models in one API, trusted by 400k+ users.

We'd love to be available as a verified provider option inside OpenUI — so we went ahead and did all the technical work on our side, in our fork: https://github.com/aimlapi/openui-aimlapi (branch feat/aimlapi-example, rebased cleanly on main).

To build our partnership, we offer a 50/50 revenue share on all traffic from this integration. (P.S.: tracking starts as soon as this release goes live, so no earnings will be lost during setup)

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Every example in examples/ points at OpenUI Cloud Completions (https://api.thesys.dev/v1/embed). There is no reference implementation of <AgentInterface /> running against an OpenAI-compatible provider directly, so the two things that change when no Gateway is in the path are not shown anywhere: the openuiLibrary system prompt has to be compiled locally with generateSystemPrompt() instead of cloud: true, and invalid OpenUI Lang is no longer corrected server-side — only the renderer's own recovery is left.

Describe the solution you'd like

An examples/miscellaneous/aimlapi example: the Vercel AI SDK example's client wiring and tools, with createOpenAICompatible({ baseURL: "https://api.aimlapi.com/v1" }) as the provider and the model picked by an AIMLAPI_MODEL env var, so the same app can be pointed at any of the 1,000+ models AI/ML API serves under one key by changing one variable. Listed in examples/README.md and examples/examples.json under miscellaneous.

Describe alternatives you've considered

  • Documenting the direct-provider path in the Vercel AI SDK example's README rather than adding an example — that example is about Cloud Completions, and carrying both paths in one route makes it harder to read.
  • Putting it under agent-frameworks — the seam here is the model provider, not the agent runtime, so miscellaneous ("backend services that do not justify another top-level category") is the right home.

Additional context

Examples-only, nothing under packages/ changes, so no changeset. Opening this issue first as the contributing guidelines ask — happy to open the PR against main as soon as you confirm the direction.
