Venice API Docs

Venice is a privacy-focused AI platform for text, image, video, audio, code, search, and agent workflows. It provides access to models from multiple AI providers, including open-source and third-party models, through a web interface and an OpenAI-compatible API. Its privacy architecture offers anonymized access to third-party models, zero-data-retention processing for self-hosted open-source models, trusted execution environments, and client-side encryption. The API supports text, images, video, music, speech, embeddings, web tools, and function calling, and integrates with agent and developer stacks such as the OpenAI SDK, LangChain, Vercel AI, CrewAI, Claude Code, and Codex CLI.

Venice AI is a private AI platform for generating text, images, characters, video, audio, code and search results through open-source, self-hosted or anonymized models from multiple providers, without intermediary markup associated with services such as OpenRouter. Its privacy architecture offers anonymized access to third-party models, zero data retention for self-hosted open-source models, trusted execution environments (TEEs), and client-side end-to-end encryption for TEE-backed workloads. Venice also provides an OpenAI-compatible API with function calling, web search and multimodal generation for agent applications, alongside a web interface and paid plans.

OpenAI API is a cloud service that provides access to OpenAI's AI models, enabling developers to integrate language processing capabilities into applications. It is used for tasks such as generating text, building chatbots, and orchestrating context and model selection. The API is commonly employed as a backend for various AI-powered tools and services.

Anthropic API is the cloud API provided by Anthropic, the AI research company, offering programmatic access to its Claude family of large language models for text generation, chat, and reasoning. The API is intended for developers to integrate Anthropic's models into applications and services.
