What is Venice?
Venice is a web platform that gives access to a range of AI models from several providers, including Claude, Google, DeepSeek, OpenAI, Mistral, Meta and Qwen, as well as image, video and audio models such as Kling, Runway, ElevenLabs and Black Forest Labs. Users can chat with AI, generate text, images, video, music and speech, and build agents through an OpenAI-compatible API that supports function calling and web search. The product stresses privacy: it describes anonymized access to third-party models, zero data retention on self-hosted open-source models, hardware-secured processing and end-to-end encryption.
In practice you can write and reason in a chat, generate and edit images (including upscaling and background removal), create videos from text or images, produce voices and music, and connect the API to tools such as LangChain, Vercel AI or CrewAI. Pricing uses a free tier with daily limits and paid Pro, Pro Plus and Max plans that include monthly credits for premium video, music and API usage.
