AI subscriptions got you feeling like a hostage?

Limits. Rising bills. Tool sprawl.

Venice gives you the best models in one place—plus $DIEM refreshing your credits daily.

Here's the Venice Power User Stack: 🧵 The power user stack treats Venice like a Venetian palace:

Models = Workshops for text/image/video creation

DIEM tokens = Lagoon currents (daily refreshing credits)

But to harness all this potential, you need a way in.

Let's talk about the doorways 👇

Venice Incentive Fund

Today we're launching a $27M Incentive Fund to advance private, uncensored AI apps, agents & infrastructure

Let's break it down 🧵 We're launching this Incentive Fund to support developers building with the Venice API, the only private, uncensored source of scalable AI inference.

The API provides all the features of Venice’s widely-used webapp such as access to frontier open-source models, AI web search, document and image analysis, Characters, and photo enhancement.

Private, uncensored agents just got easier to build

Venice and Fleek are partnering to create the first end-to-end agent infrastructure that combines Venice's privacy-first AI inference with Fleek's seamless agent deployment

Let's break it down 🧵 This partnership eliminates the fragmented process of piecing together multiple services, letting developers focus on creating agents that solve real-world problems instead of wrestling with infrastructure.

Venice provides uncensored, privacy-first AI inference, while Fleek handles the complete agent lifecycle from development to monitoring with containerized hosting, built-in security, and automatic scaling.

Introducing Venice Image Engine v2 🌅

Venice Image Engine v2 is now live and represents a comprehensive overhaul of our image generation infrastructure, delivering the highest quality results across a range of styles

Let’s dive in 🧵 Venice Image Engine v2 consists of two major components:

1. Venice SD35 (New Default model): Custom-configured Stable Diffusion 3.5 engine powered by a Comfy UI workflow backend.

2. Upscale & Enhance (Pro only): Completely new upscaling architecture with proprietary enhancement that creatively in-fills new pixels at the higher resolution.

This Week in Venice 🌅

We're shipping new features every day, so here's our weekly overview of the daily changelog 🧵  🗓️ March 14-15

Securely Backup Chat History
Pro users can how securely backup chat history and migrate to other devices, or recover from a loss of data in their local browser.

Here's how they work:

1On your local device, when you create a new backup, Venice encrypts your data with a password that only you control.
2That backup is then broken into chunks and uploaded to Venice's infrastructure.
3You can then download and restore that backup, either overwriting your existing history, or merging it, on any logged in device.

A few important notes:

•Venice does not have any record of the password you create, so if you loose it, your backup is unrecoverable. We suggest you use a password manager to store them.
•You are limited to a max of 5 concurrent backups.
•Backups expire after 90 days.
Backups can be accessed via the menu in the left hand side menu

This Week in Venice 🌅

We're shipping new features every day, so here's our weekly overview of the daily changelog 🧵 🗓️ March 7-9

Characters with Pro Models accessible to all users
Characters that use Venice Pro models are now accessible for non-pro members to interact with. Anonymous and Free users will get a limited number of chats with these characters before being prompted to upgrade to Venice Pro. We look forward to your feedback on Venice Characters.

Venice Voice Downloads
Venice users can now download audio generate from Venice Voice. Once the audio has completely generated, a download icon will appear to the right of the speaker. Clicking this will allow you to save the audio recording as a .wav file.

The Venice Airdrop ended today at dawn, Venetian time 🌅

Over the past 45 days, 17.4 million VVV tokens were claimed by over 40,000 people

We now enter a new phase for Venice 🧵 To those who are just hearing about it, what does the VVV token do?

The Venice API is free for any human or agent who stakes VVV, meaning zero-cost generative AI for private and uncensored text, image, and code

Ever been frustrated by the output you're getting in Venice?

Chances are your prompts need some work

Let's show you how to get the most out of text chat in Venice 🧵 Good prompts are open-ended questions or queries, and typically include:

• Clear instructions
• Relevant context
• Desired output format
• Specific details or constraints

Bad prompts are often too short, vague, lack context, or are too broad
