VLM Run
The unified gateway for visual intelligence.
VLM Run is a visual AI platform that turns images, videos, and documents into structured, schema-validated outputs through a single API. It addresses the need to parse, extract, cite, and redact documents and to understand, summarize, segment, and search video, delivering results ready for agents and developers to act on.
The platform offers an OpenAI-compatible API with capabilities including OCR and layout extraction, object detection, pointing and segmentation, image captioning and generation, UI parsing from screenshots, and video captioning, summarization, transcription, and search. It integrates with agent frameworks such as Pydantic AI, Mastra, Claude Code, and Codex over MCP, and supports batch and real-time processing on the same endpoint. Enterprise deployments can run in-VPC or in private cloud, with SOC 2 and HIPAA-related compliance options.
VLM Run is aimed at developers, agents, and enterprises working with documents, images, and video. Pricing is usage-based with no per-seat charges: a free Starter plan with a signup balance, a Pro plan with included monthly usage and higher rate limits, and a custom Enterprise edition with invoiced billing, volume discounts, and in-VPC deployment. Model usage is billed per million tokens, with some tools priced per unit.
