Every tool definition costs tokens and eats into the context window. Past a certain point it actually makes the model worse. Today we're shipping lazy tool discovery in TanStack AI.

Your chat endpoint starts simple, then you need logging, filtering, caching, rate limiting, and suddenly it's a 200-line monster. TanStack AI now ships a first-class middleware system.

Text-based chat is table stakes. TanStack AI now ships first-class support for realtime voice conversations — real voice, real time, with the AI hearing you, thinking, and responding naturally.

Chat is just the beginning. Your AI app needs image generation, text-to-speech, transcription, and more. TanStack AI now ships generation hooks — a unified set of React hooks for every non-chat AI activity.

OpenRouter is now an official TanStack sponsor. The most concrete result is already shipped — a first-class TanStack AI adapter giving you access to 300+ models from 60+ providers through a single API.

Your docs are good. Your types are solid. Your agent still gets it wrong. TanStack Intent lets you ship agent skills alongside your npm packages so AI tools actually know how to use your library.

Instead of one monolithic adapter that does everything, we split into smaller adapters each in charge of a single functionality. Here's why that architectural change matters.

We spent eight days building an API we had to kill. One function to rule them all, one function to control all adapters, one function to make it all typesafe — here's what happened.

Two weeks since the first alpha and we've prototyped through 5-6 internal architectures. Alpha 2 brings every modality, better APIs, and smaller bundles.

The current AI landscape has a problem — pick a framework, pick a cloud provider, and suddenly you're locked in. TanStack AI is a framework-agnostic toolkit built for developers who want control.

When you're tracking download stats for 200+ packages with over 4 billion total downloads, you learn a few things about NPM's API. Some lessons are documented. Others you discover the hard way.

Two years ago I went all in on TanStack. No consulting, no safety nets. What started as a handful of libraries has grown into a real ecosystem powering millions of developers.

A rewrite aimed at fixing edge cases in route matching accidentally delivered a 20,000x performance improvement. Route matching is no longer bottlenecked by the number of routes in your application.

Your component's query is now the API call. No custom endpoint, no GraphQL resolver, no backend change. TanStack DB 0.5 introduces query-driven sync that eliminates the glue code between your UI and your data.

Frameworks are inventing top-level directives that look like language features but aren't standardized. A constructive look at portability and keeping a clear boundary between platform and library spaces.

TanStack Start has officially reached a v1.0 Release Candidate. This is the build we expect to ship as 1.0, pending your final feedback, docs polish, and a few last-mile fixes.

Your React dashboard shouldn't grind to a halt because one TODO gets checked. TanStack DB is a client-side database powered by differential dataflow that plugs into your existing useQuery calls.

Search params are global, serializable, and shareable — but in most apps they're hacked together with string parsing and brittle utils. They deserve to be treated as first-class state.

The web ecosystem moves fast. I've chased purity before, but pragmatism usually wins in the long run — especially when you're building tools developers can trust and adopt incrementally.

Netlify is now the official deployment partner for TanStack Start. Their focus on speed, simplicity, and flexibility aligns perfectly with our vision for full-stack development.

The first stable version of TanStack Form is live and ready for production. We support five frameworks at launch — React, Vue, Angular, Solid, and Lit.

The frameworks we choose can make or break our developer experience. Here's why TanStack Start and Router offer a compelling alternative for building modern web applications.

Every cloud environment has its own quirky incantations to get things working. We're dropping custom adapters in TanStack Start and building on Nitro instead — here's why.

TanStack Router pushes the boundaries on type-safe routing, but large route trees can slow down the editor. Here's how we achieved a major milestone in TypeScript performance.

After 91 alpha releases, 35 betas, and 16 release candidates, TanStack Query v5.0.0 is finally here — smaller, better, and more intuitive than ever.

The next version of TanStack Query is here. The rebranding and monorepo restructuring finally allows us to bring the joy of react-query to other frameworks like Vue, Svelte, and Solid.

AG Grid is now the official TanStack Table open-source partner. Together we'll educate the ecosystem about the differences between the two libraries and when to choose which.
