# DeepSeek models now available via Azure on AI Gateway

By Steven Van · 2026-06-11

Azure joins the provider list for DeepSeek V4 Pro and Flash on AI Gateway, adding automatic failover with no code changes needed.

Azure is now a provider for DeepSeek V4 Pro and DeepSeek V4 Flash on [Vercel](<https://creatorstoolbox.com/tools/vercel>)'s AI Gateway, adding another failover path for requests to either model alongside the existing providers.

No code changes are required: default routing already considers Azure automatically, and if a provider fails the gateway falls back through the remaining list. Developers who want requests to try Azure first can set **order** in the gateway provider options to prefer Azure while keeping the other providers as fallback. Existing Azure credentials can also be brought in under AI Gateway's bring-your-own-key support, which the gateway will use for requests routed through Azure. See the [AI Gateway leaderboard](<https://vercel.com/ai-gateway/leaderboards>) for current model traffic share.
