# Providers and Models

Companies such as OpenAI and Anthropic (providers) offer access to a range of large language models (LLMs) with differing strengths and capabilities through their own APIs.

Each provider typically has its own unique method for interfacing with their models, complicating the process of switching providers and increasing the risk of vendor lock-in.

To solve these challenges, AI SDK Core offers a standardized approach to interacting with LLMs through a [language model specification](https://github.com/vercel/ai/tree/main/packages/provider/src/language-model/v3) that abstracts differences between providers. This unified interface allows you to switch between providers with ease while using the same API for all providers.

Here is an overview of the AI SDK Provider Architecture:

Our [language model specification](https://github.com/vercel/ai/tree/main/packages/provider/src/language-model/v3) is published as an open-source package, which you can use to create [custom providers](/providers/community-providers/custom-providers).
