Vellum AI

Vellum AI is an LLM development platform that helps product and engineering teams build, evaluate, deploy, and monitor LLM-powered applications. The platform centers on prompt engineering, a visual Workflows builder for agentic and multi-step pipelines, evaluation suites with dataset management, retrieval-augmented generation, and production observability with logs, traces, and metrics. Target customers are AI product teams at startups and enterprises that need version control, collaboration, and vendor-neutral access across OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral, and open models. Vellum exposes a REST API plus Python and TypeScript SDKs, runs in cloud and self-hosted deployments, and offers tiered pricing for Pro/Business/Enterprise. Note: as of 2026 the vellum.ai marketing surface has been refocused on a personal AI assistant product; the developer platform documented here remains the LLM application stack.

Vellum AI publishes 15 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Default API, subpackage_deployments API, subpackage_documentIndexes API, and 12 more. Tagged areas include LLM Platform, Prompt Engineering, Workflows, Evaluations, and LLMOps.

Vellum AI’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, engineering blog, pricing, signup flow, and 10 more developer resources.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/vellum: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
