What Venice is
Venice is an AI platform for text, image, video and code generation, offered through a web app and an API. Its privacy page says conversation history stays on the user's device and is never stored on Venice's servers, and that requests are relayed to model providers without being stored. Each model runs in one of four privacy modes; in the basic anonymous mode the provider can still see prompt content. The FAQ says credits can be bought with USD or USDC, yearly subscriptions can be paid in Bitcoin through BTCPay, and staking 100 VVV tokens unlocks Pro features. The site's structured data lists a Wyoming address and a 2024 founding date.
