Proposal: Add Decart provider to `ai-sdk`

[AdirAmsalem]

Description

About Decart AI

Decart AI is an AI company focused on real-time generative experiences.
We build high-performance generative image and video models that are both fast and efficient.

We support multiple generative tasks, including:

• text-to-image
• image-to-image
• image-to-video
• text-to-video
• video-to-video

The full list of models and capabilities is available in our documentation.

Current status

We provide our own JavaScript SDK: @decartai/sdk.
We’d love to also contribute a 1st-party provider for ai-sdk.

I’ve already started experimenting and created @ai-sdk/decart with an initial text-to-image implementation (PR here) and it looks promising.

Proposal

I’d like to discuss the best path to make this official and have your blessing (per add-new-provider.md) if you think it makes sense.

Example

import { decart } from '@ai-sdk/decart';
import { experimental_generateImage as generateImage } from 'ai';

await generateImage({
  model: decart.image('lucy-pro-t2i'),
  prompt: 'Three dogs playing in the snow',
});

Since we’re very focused on video, we’d also love to help push vercel/ai#7541 if needed.

@AdirAmsalem plz let me know how we can iterate on this to get #8953 into a good shape.

Is video generation/editing currently prioritized by the AI SDK team? I haven’t seen an official thumbs-up yet.

For this proposal, the main thing I’m waiting on is a green light to move forward — once that’s in, I’ll gladly add all our image and video models. We also have image editing models (which are prioritized), so once this lands, I’ll likely implement those first.

We don't have plans on adding video generation/editing models right now

@gr2m so even if there would be a PR that provides everything, this will not be consider yet?

[AdirAmsalem]

Thanks for jumping in and clarifying!

Could you share the process required for adding Decart as a 1st-party provider - e.g. any criteria it should meet? anything that's missing in the current issue/referenced PR?

We'd love to move this forward - starting with image generation, and adding image editing as soon as it lands.

Thanks again! 🙏

If anyone happens to take a look at this - could you share whether there's general agreement on moving forward with it?
If not - we'll proceed with implementing it as a community provider, though we'd strongly prefer to have it as a 1st-party provider.
Thanks!

@AdirAmsalem as far as i know you have to start as a community provider first, at least this is how i understand this part of the docs:

Please publish your custom provider in your own GitHub repository and as an NPM package. You are responsible for hosting and maintaining your provider. Once published, you can submit a PR to the AI SDK repository to add your provider to the Community Providers documentation section.

we don't accept 1st party providers at this point unless Vercel is using the provider internally. Please create a community provider and send a pull request to get it added to our documentation as community provider
