About Venice
Venice is a privacy-focused AI inference platform that provides access to 330+ open-weight and frontier models across text, image, audio, and video through a single OpenAI-compatible API. Its core differentiator is a layered privacy architecture: Anonymous mode hides user identity from model providers, Private mode enforces zero data retention via contractual commitments, TEE mode runs models in hardware-isolated trusted execution environments with remote attestation, and E2EE mode encrypts prompts client-side before they reach a verified enclave. The /models endpoint exposes each model's privacy level, allowing users to match protection to their needs.
The platform addresses the market pain point that mainstream AI services typically log prompts and responses. Venice's proxy layer does not store inference content by default, and stronger modes add verifiable hardware-level controls. Beyond chat, Venice offers embeddings, document processing, file inputs, live web search, MCP tools, and wallet-funded payments (credits, DIEM staking, or USDC on Base via x402), positioning itself as a backend for private agents and coding tools.
In the six months from March to September 2026, Venice expanded its model catalog with GLM 5.2 (fully private for Pro users), Seedance 2.0 Mini (ByteDance's video model with native audio), Kling V3 Turbo, and Claude Opus 5 (anonymously accessible). The company also shipped a Code Sandbox feature in agentic chat, allowing users to build and run applications directly in the conversation. A comprehensive changelog covering June and July updates was published in early August. On the tokenomics side, the annual VVV emission was reduced from 3 million to 2 million, with the direction of release and burn clarified.
Notable limitations include that privacy guarantees vary by mode—Anonymous still exposes content to providers, and Private relies on contractual promises rather than hardware attestation. TEE and E2EE coverage does not apply to every model or modality. Product changes, provider relationships, and token parameters may shift over time, so users should verify current documentation before relying on specific claims.
Venice, a privacy-focused AI platform, has reached several milestones with long-term significance. It refreshed its token economics, introducing a buyback mechanism and raising the DIEM supply cap, which shapes asset value and ecosystem incentives. Its verifiable privacy protection feature, nearing launch, uses cryptographic methods to strengthen user trust in privacy promises. Integrating DeepSeek expands the platform's model capabilities and market competitiveness. Founder Erik Voorhees also repeatedly purchased tokenized gold, signaling support for real-world assets. These developments lay durable foundations across economic design, technical trust, and model ecosystem.
Erik Voorhees: Founder & CEO, a crypto pioneer who previously founded ShapeShift, focused on decentralized exchange.
Teana Baker-Taylor: COO, with a background in crypto and banking, formerly VP at Circle and held leadership roles at Binance and Crypto.com.
Jesse Proudman: Co-Founder, President & CTO, a serial entrepreneur who founded Blue Box (acquired by IBM), Strix Leviathan, and Makara, before joining Venice.
Johanna Tseng: VP of Business Development, responsible for BD, active in the crypto community.
Venice has recently expanded its leadership team. In May 2026, Austin Virts joined as VP of Marketing, and Johanna Tseng joined as VP of Business Operations.
Austin previously led growth at Solana and Aptos, bringing extensive Web3 marketing expertise. Johanna held operational and strategic roles at Polymer Labs and Plume, specializing in business development. Their addition will help Venice scale its impact in the privacy-focused AI space.
