Models

Inngest is a workflow engine, not a model provider. It has TypeScript, Python, and Go SDKs, serves functions from frameworks such as Next.js, and exports metrics to Datadog and Prometheus. Its AI Overview dashboard reads gen_ai metadata from calls made with the OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Generative AI, or Vercel AI SDKs.
