Venice offers a generous free tier with daily limits on text and image generation. The "Pro" plan costs $18/month (or $150/year) and offers unlimited text, higher image limits, and faster processing.

Is Venice really "uncensored"?

Yes, Venice hosts specific models (like the Dolphin series) that have had their "safety alignment" removed. This means they will answer almost any question, including topics that ChatGPT or Gemini would block.

Where is my chat data stored?

Your chat data is stored locally in your browser's cache (IndexedDB). Venice AI's servers act as a blind relay to the inference engine and do not retain your conversation history.

What is the VVV token?

The VVV token is Venice's utility token on the Base network. It enables a decentralized economy where users can stake tokens for API access and compute providers earn tokens for processing AI requests.

About This AI

Venice AI is a privacy first, uncensored generative AI platform founded by crypto pioneer Erik Voorhees.

Unlike mainstream tools like ChatGPT that store user data, Venice processes conversation history locally in the user’s browser, ensuring that the company literally cannot see or sell your chats.

It aggregates top tier open source models (like Llama 3 and DeepSeek) and offers them without the heavy “safety” rails or moralizing filters found in corporate AI, making it a haven for users seeking raw, unfiltered intelligence and absolute privacy.

Key Features

Zero Knowledge Privacy Chat history is stored locally in the browser; Venice servers never see or store your prompts.
Uncensored Models Access to "unshackled" models like Dolphin and specialized versions of Llama that will answer controversial or sensitive questions without lecturing the user.
Decentralized Inference Utilizes decentralized GPU compute to run models, preventing any single central authority from controlling the infrastructure.
Image Generation Generates unrestricted images using models like Flux and Stable Diffusion, allowing for high creative freedom.
VVV Token A native utility token that allows users to pay for inference and allows compute providers to earn rewards.
Permissionless API A developer API for building autonomous agents that need to operate without fear of being de platformed or censored.

Pros

Complete privacy (no data harvesting).
No moralizing refusals or "I cannot help with that" lectures.
Access to the best open source models (Llama 3, Qwen, DeepSeek).
Strong crypto/web3 integration for payments.
Competitive pricing for "Pro" features compared to big labs.

Cons

"Uncensored" nature requires user maturity and responsibility.
Quality of open source models can vary compared to GPT 5 or Claude Opus.
Crypto native features (tokens, wallets) might confuse non technical users.
No "cloud sync" for chats (since they are local) means history doesn't transfer between devices easily.

Best for Privacy advocates, libertarians, developers building autonomous agents, and creative professionals who need an AI that won’t refuse prompts based on corporate safety policies.
