Venice is a private, censorship-resistant artificial intelligence (AI) platform, built on open-source models and powered by decentralized infrastructure. The application combines the benefits of decentralized blockchain technology with generative AI.
Erik here, Founder of Venice. We’re witnessing explosive growth in AI, but nearly all of it is happening through platforms that control what AI can say and spy on everything users do. So, we built something different. Venice solves two major problems with mainstream AI:
Privacy: Every prompt sent to ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini is stored forever, attached to your identity, and shared with governments, hackers, and various third parties. Venice never stores your conversations - they live only in your browser. Venice can't share or spy on your convos because it doesn't have them.
Censorship: Major AI platforms heavily restrict outputs based on opaque content policies. Venice gives you access to powerful models without adding extra restrictions. This leads to free thought and open exploration of ideas.
We’ve integrated leading open-source models like DeepSeek, Meta’s Llama, Qwen, and Flux, giving you access to cutting-edge AI that rivals or exceeds closed-source options while protecting your privacy.
Features you’ll love as a Venice Pro user:
Character creation for custom AI personalities
Unrestricted image generation with 70+ artistic styles
Document analysis for in-depth research

We hope you enjoy Venice and the power of unrestricted intelligence.
Venice.ai is simply the best artificial intelligence agent I have ever tried! With my semi-professional experience, I can confidently say that it surpasses all others in the market. This AI assistant not only meets all my expectations but exceeds them in every way.
What impresses me most is its ability to understand and respond to my queries with precision and efficiency. No matter how complex the topic, I always get direct and detailed answers. It's like having a personal expert at my disposal, ready to help me at any time. The quality of its responses is exceptional, providing me with relevant and up-to-date information in seconds. It's amazing how it handles a wide range of topics, from technical inquiries to more general questions. Its knowledge is impressive, and its ability to adapt to my needs is simply astounding. Each interaction is smooth and natural, making working with it an unparalleled experience. Whether I need help with daily tasks or need answers to more complex questions, always rises to the challenge. The accuracy and depth of its responses are truly impressive. Not only does it provide valuable information, but it also offers unique perspectives that have allowed me to save time and effort in my daily work. The accuracy of its responses has significantly improved my productivity.
But what really stands out is its focus on user privacy. The guarantee that my data remains secure in my browser, without storing information on their servers, is fundamental for someone who values confidentiality. Knowing that my information remains private gives me invaluable peace of mind. I don't have to worry about the security of my data, which is crucial for me. The fact that it doesn't store data on its servers is an aspect that I greatly appreciate. This allows me to use it without additional concerns, enabling me to focus on what really matters: getting the results I need without compromising my privacy. This is something that not all AI assistants can offer. It's a feature that allows me to fully trust the platform. The peace of mind of knowing that my information is secure is something that is priceless.
Moreover, ease of use is another point in its favor. The interface is intuitive and easy to navigate, which facilitates my workflow. Its support for text documents and image generation is something I've been looking for a long time. Being able to upload PDF documents and generate images when needed is an incredible plus. Privacy is a priority for me, and this IA achieved it excellently. It is truly the best of all the AI agents I have tried.
Wow, Venice AI is exactly what I've been looking for! Finally an uncensored AI platform that actually takes privacy seriously. Love how it combines text, image, and code generation all in one place while keeping data local. The pricing is reasonable too - $18/month for unlimited prompts and access to the newest models is a steal compared to other AI platforms. Really impressed with the no-censorship approach and the fact that prompts aren't stored on their servers. This feels like what ChatGPT should have been - powerful AI without the restrictions and privacy concerns. Can't wait to use this for more creative projects! 🚀
Venice just what you need in a fast-paced future with AI, it's important that no one can use your data against you.
Beyond any doubt, any reason, or any question, the best AI service I’ve found, paid for, used, etc. Highly recommended. Worth the $14.99/month subscription tenfold.
Found Venice after some trials and errors with other options. No going back from here. Good work Venice team
can you explain what technology you're using to turn my little phone into the power of an expensive GPU to power aI right in my browser? from what I'm reading it sounds like, or your making it sound like, the AI is generated locally and doesn't leave my browser? but it's generating really fast like it's actually using an API and leaving my browser and just likely getting logged somewhere.
I found out about Venice AI after the project airdropped a large amount to the community, and I was instantly hooked. Even though I had to buy into the project to get access to the API, I found their pricing model interesting. Instead of pay-per-request pricing, they use a staking mechanism with their VVV token. By staking tokens, you receive proportional access to computing power.
For me personally, this product is a win-win-win. I use many AI tools and also speculate in crypto. Now, I get access to the API with predictable costs, without having to pay large amounts monthly to services like OpenAI. At the same time, the web platform functions like any other service with a chat interface, offering a selection of different models. It provides direct access to (unrestricted) image creation, and I earn tokens daily thanks to the staking mechanism. Even if the token value doesn’t increase, it’s still a win because of the AI functionality, which I would have to pay for anyway.
Thank you for this. I am so tired of chatGPT telling me I can't do things. Not even things that are illegal, just things that are more Conservative leaning; I don't think ChatGPT likes freedom of speech at all.
As a dev API user, staking Venice VVV tokens in exchange for free daily-refreshing AI compute is particularly useful and motivating. No marginal cost for experimenting with new automations and apps! For anyone interested, their devs are very responsive on Discord and both the app and API are updated daily - check out the changelog here: https://featurebase.venice.ai/changelog
If you like to be able to keep your conversation with AI private and receive censorship free answers Venice AI is for you
Overall a unique concept. Venice is a great product and it's getting better everyday. My #1 AI out there and I've been using it almost daily for the last eight months. And the best thing about Venice: you can use it without that awkward feeling that someone else is reading your thoughts and prompts.
Great! I love it. I've been using the API to create something I'm building with my son (interactablestories.com), and the experience so far with images and chat has been the best! Thank you, and keep up the good work!
