About Venice AI
Venice AI is a privacy-focused generative AI platform founded by ShapeShift creator Erik Voorhees that offers text, image, and code generation without storing prompts or responses on its servers. All conversation history stays encrypted in the user's local browser, and requests are processed through a pool of GPU inference providers without persistent logging. Venice supports multiple AI models within a single session, includes built-in web search with citations, and provides an uncensored experience with fewer content restrictions than mainstream AI assistants.
