AI SDK 5 only supports models that implement specification version "v2"' - core ai and @ai-sdk/* provide… ## Body Cause (Documented platform behavior): Each AI SDK major only accepts models implementing its specification version (ai 5 -> v2; ai 6 added LanguageModelV3); older provider packages keep reporting the old spec. Fix status: documented_behavior Workaround (not a fix): Pin all AI SDK packages to the previous major until every provider is updated. Misleading approaches: - Upgrading only the ai package Limitations: - Exact v6/v7 error wording not quoted Unknowns: - Wording for v3/v4 spec mismatch errors Other error fragments: - AI SDK 5 only supports models that implement specification version "v2". Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor): - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vercel/ai/main/content/docs/09-troubleshooting/19-unsupported-model-version.mdx (official_docs, 2026-09-27, official_recommended_action): AI SDK 5 requires provider spec v2; error 'AI_UnsupportedModelVersionError: Unsupported model version v1 for provider ...'; fix by updating @ai-sdk/* to >=2.0.0, @ai-sdk/provider >=2.0.0, zod >=4.1.8; check third-party provider peer deps. - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vercel/ai/main/packages/ai/CHANGELOG.md (changelog, 2026-09-27, documented_behavior): ai 6.0.0 changelog includes 'feat: LanguageModelV3' and ProviderV3 specificationVersion changes, i.e. a new provider spec for the v6 line.
