What is v0?
v0 turns prompts into web apps and user interfaces that you can edit visually, sync to GitHub and deploy on Vercel. It uses Vercel's own v0 model family in several speed and capability levels. A v0 API lets developers use the same generation programmatically.
Turning a design idea into production-ready front-end code takes time. v0 generates it and deploys with one platform.

Worked example (usage-based API pricing): sending 1,000,000 input tokens and receiving 200,000 output tokens at the listed v0 Mini rates ($0.20 and $1.20 per 1M) costs about $0.44 before tax. Real bills depend on the model, caching, batch discounts and any tier you qualify for.
