For the quick scoop:
The developer mentions how similar DirectX 12 and Vulkan are, and that they have already done some code. Dan says they are so similar he couldn't imagine someone not doing Vulkan if they are doing DirectX 12.

Dan also states how committed Valve are to Vulkan, he couldn't share too much as he has insider knowledge.

They will look to go back to Vulkan once Ashes is out the door which is soon. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Quoting: GuestValve needs to finally drop some Vulkan games!
I believe Valve is actually waiting for Vulkan with their further Linux / SteamOS / Steam Machine content.
It is also understandable there will be a delay between publishing of Vulkan specs and publishing of first Vulkan products...
