#7808: docs(venice): remove incorrect vapi_ prefix requirement
docs
stale
Cluster:
Venice Model Updates
## Summary
The Venice AI provider docs incorrectly claim that API keys have the format `vapi_xxxxxxxxxxxx`. This is not accurate - Venice API keys can have various prefixes (e.g., `QYE_...`) and Venice's official documentation does not specify any required prefix.
## Changes
- Removed claims that Venice keys must start with `vapi_`
- Changed example keys from `vapi_xxxxxxxxxxxx` to generic `your_api_key_here`
- Updated troubleshooting section to remove the incorrect prefix check
## Files Changed
- `docs/providers/venice.md`
## Testing
N/A - documentation only change.

<h2>Greptile Overview</h2>
<h3>Greptile Summary</h3>
Updates the Venice provider documentation to remove an incorrect assumption that API keys must start with a `vapi_` prefix. Examples are made prefix-agnostic (e.g., `your_api_key_here`), and the troubleshooting guidance is adjusted accordingly, so users don’t mistakenly reject valid Venice keys with other prefixes.
<h3>Confidence Score: 5/5</h3>
- This PR is safe to merge; it’s a small, self-contained documentation correction.
- Only updates a single markdown doc to remove an incorrect key-prefix requirement and adjust examples; no code paths or behavior are affected.
- No files require special attention
