+## Configure the plugin
+
+To set up AI Proxy Advanced with Vercel, use the `vercel` provider, specify the [model](https://vercel.com/ai-gateway/models) and set the appropriate authentication header and upstream URL.
+
+In this example, we'll use the `openai/gpt-5.5` model:
+
+{% entity_examples %}

+  plugins:
+    - name: ai-proxy-advanced

+## Configure {{ provider.name }} with AI Proxy
+
+To use {{ provider.name }} with {{site.ai_gateway}}, configure the [AI Proxy](/plugins/ai-proxy/) or [AI Proxy Advanced](/plugins/ai-proxy-advanced/) plugin.
+
+Note that, {{ site.vercel }} hosts [models](https://vercel.com/ai-gateway/models) from other providers so in this example we use `openai/gpt-5.5`.
+
+Here's a minimal configuration for chat completions:
+
+{% entity_example %}
+type: plugin
+data:
+  name: ai-proxy
+  config:
+    route_type: llm/v1/chat
+    auth:
+      header_name: Authorization
+      header_value: Bearer ${key}
+    model:
+      provider: vercel
+      name: openai/gpt-5.5
+
+variables:
+  key:
+    value: "$VERCEL_API_KEY"
+{% endentity_example %}
