2.0.011 Aug 2026Release notes
Open source →AI SDK Dart 2.0 is a coordinated major release across all 13 packages.
Highlights
- V4 is now the only language-model provider contract.
- Generation and streaming gain scoped timeouts, provider-backed cancellation, stable runtime context and telemetry APIs, structured output improvements, and safer streamed tool execution.
- Provider usage reports nested input/output token details, including cache reads and writes where available.
- Flutter UI gains polished tool approval, source citation, reasoning, streaming, error, and long-history experiences.
- MCP transports and lifecycle handling are substantially hardened.
Breaking changes
Upgrade every ai_sdk package together. The obsolete V3 language-model contract, experimental API names, video surface, and old provider call fields were removed without compatibility shims.
Read the 2.0 migration guide before upgrading.
Packages
All 13 packages are published on pub.dev.
What's Changed

- chore: add SessionStart hook to provision Flutter via FVM on the web by @codenameakshay in #5
- feat(usage): map provider cache tokens into inputTokenDetails by @codenameakshay in #9
- Prepare the next release with V4 providers and hardened UX by @codenameakshay in #10
- Prepare the coordinated 2.0.0 release by @codenameakshay in #11
Full Changelog: 1.2.0...2.0.0
Release notes
Open source →- Migrated language generation and streaming to V4 lifecycle, metadata, structured warnings, nested usage, and unified tool contracts.
- Mapped cache reads and cache writes into the nested input-token usage breakdown for both generated and streamed responses.
- Cancelling an abort signal now cancels the in-flight Dio request.

1.2.001 Jul 2026Release notes
Open source →Coordinated 1.2.0 release across all 13 packages — now live on pub.dev. A v6 hardening pass that makes the AI SDK Dart port more complete, honest, and tested.
Highlights
🚨 Typed provider API errors (new)
Non-2xx provider responses now throw a typed
AiApiCallErrorcarrying the provider'smessage,type,code,statusCode, raw body, and anisRetryableflag — consistently across every provider. TheAiSdkErrorhierarchy moved intoai_sdk_provider(re-exported byai_sdk_dart, so the public surface is unchanged).🧩 Shared
ai_sdk_openai_compatiblebase (new package)A shared OpenAI Chat Completions implementation now powers OpenAI / Azure / Groq / Mistral. All 8 providers support tool use + multimodal image input; Cohere & Ollama gained them natively.
🔌 MCP
Real Server-Sent-Events streaming transport (
SseClientTransport) plus a plain request/responseHttpClientTransport; web-safe —dart:iois isolated behind conditional imports, so the client runs on Flutter web.📱 Flutter UI hub
19 prebuilt, themeable Material widgets plus hardened controllers (
ObjectStreamController.submit,ChatController.isStreaming, streaming-error surfacing). A restrained Material 3 redesign — bubbleless assistant transcript, anAiMotionmotion/haptics vocabulary, and a first-class reduced-motion path. Fixed aPressableScalecrash-on-dispose under reduced motion.✅ Correctness
onAbortnow interrupts an in-flightstreamText;stopWhencan extend the tool loop pastmaxSteps. Removed the unusablegenerateVideo/VideoModelV1(no backing provider). OpenAI image generation no longer sendsresponse_formattogpt-image-1.🧪 Quality
1,057 tests (924 Dart + 133 Flutter), 99.9% line coverage (11 of 12 packages at 100%), enforced by a CI coverage gate.

Release notes
Open source →- Errors: non-2xx API responses now throw a typed
AiApiCallError(carrying Anthropic's errormessage/typeand thestatusCode) instead of a rawDioException, on both the generate and stream paths. - Version aligned with the rest of the monorepo (1.2.0).
