# `render` (Removed)

<Note type="warning">"render" has been removed in AI SDK 4.0.</Note>

<Note type="warning">
  AI SDK RSC is currently experimental. We recommend using [AI SDK
  UI](/docs/ai-sdk-ui/overview) for production. For guidance on migrating from
  RSC to UI, see our [migration guide](/docs/ai-sdk-rsc/migrating-to-ui).
</Note>

A helper function to create a streamable UI from LLM providers. This function is similar to AI SDK Core APIs and supports the same model interfaces.

> **Note**: `render` has been deprecated in favor of [`streamUI`](/docs/reference/ai-sdk-rsc/stream-ui). During migration, please ensure that the `messages` parameter follows the updated [specification](/docs/reference/ai-sdk-rsc/stream-ui#messages).
