Kimi K3.1 Pro is live on Venice.

@Kimi_Moonshot’s strongest open-weight model: frontier-level intelligence for long-running coding and agent work, and it even designs 3D models, writing Blender and CAD scripts.

Available anonymously. 20% off Pro and Highspeed (API) thru Oct 31.

So much magic can happen when the AI you are interacting with treats you like an adult.

[JG @WhoisJGz]

Switched to Venice recently and alongside all the obvious privacy benefits, the fact answers are not being ran through some PC dual-filtration system that spits out restrained nonsense, is genuinely a magical unlock

[Jon Venice @JonShapeShift]

Been saying it a long time, only way to keep data safe is to not store it at all.

[Erik Voorhees @ErikVoorhees]

The only private data is data that doesn’t exist

Crypto grew up in the Dark Forest, and the entire world is about to find itself there

[jesse.base.eth @jessepollak]

. @AskVenice leading the way in consumer→crypto with DIEM

[Danielle Wall Elliott @daniwall___]

Each staked base:0xf4d97f2da56e8c3098f3a8d538db630a2606a024 entitles you to $1 of AI Inference every day, as long as you hold it.

[Venice @AskVenice]

What is DIEM?

DIEM is Venice's token for AI inference.

Stake it in your Venice account and each DIEM becomes a dollar of recurring daily AI credits.

Here's a walkthrough:

[Jon Venice @JonShapeShift]

base:0xf4d97f2da56e8c3098f3a8d538db630a2606a024 transforms inference from something you pay for and rent on a regular basis into an asset you can own.

$DIEM is tokenized inference.

@ryanlightbourn @AskVenice Black Thunder is amazing 😎

[Ryan Lightbourn @ryanlightbourn]

In this moment, I am euphoric. I'm incredibly grateful to Venice, Moonpay & the legenday judges.

My upcoming feature film, Rainbow Sun, will be made in @AskVenice 🌈☀️

New in Venice Studio: Seedance Draft Mode.

Toggle "Draft On" with Seedance selected as model and it will render a fast, economical low-res draft first.

Once you know the prompt works, toggle off Draft mode to generate it in full HD.

Draft Mode saves you credits + time.

[Ansem 🐂🀄️ @blknoiz06]

if you aren't paying attention to venice ai, you should be.

- 5 million users
- API Calls are up 400% since July

this is fueling $10.4M/yr burn for base:0xacfe6019ed1a7dc6f7b508c02d1b04ec88cc21bf

Streisand Effect incoming

Access all DeepSeek models at https://t.co/d8KNmBToPv

Private (zero data retention) on US servers

[Jon Venice @JonShapeShift]

A good start, but just a start, so many more need access to private AI.

[Venice @AskVenice]

Today, Venice passed 5,000,000 users.

Still private. Still anonymous. Still unrestricted.

Thank you to every builder, creator, and free thinker on Venice.

Enjoy private DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 hosted in US datacenters 🇺🇸

DS V4.1 Flash was updated yesterday to "1017" variant. Huge upgrade.

It is now the top open-source model in the world.

Roughly on par with Opus 5 in capability, yet vastly cheaper and faster.

It's free for @AskVenice Pro users in the app.

Agents can enjoy this model privately here via API:

curl https://t.co/ZZmjVFLjkY \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $VENICE_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"model": "deepseek-v4-1-flash-1017",
"messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}]
}'

[Jon Venice @JonShapeShift]

It’s so important we actually have models that won’t refuse to help defenders during (and trying to prevent) cyberattacks.

In many cases “safety” related refusals do far more harm than good.

[Andrew Curran @AndrewCurran_]

OpenCode is currently under a sustained cyberattack, and mid-incident they ran into the same problem Hugging Face did: the frontier models they were using for defense began refusing to help fight attacking agents because analyzing the attacks started triggering safety guardrails.

[Venice @AskVenice]

DeepSeek V4.1 Flash just got a serious upgrade.

@deepseek_ai’s 1017 outscores leading open-source and frontier models on nearly every benchmark.

Same model in the Venice app, simply upgraded and available via the API as deepseek-v4-1-flash-1017.

Fully private.
