What is your opinion about venice.ai?
They claim to not store any of your queries and that your chat history is only stored on your device.
They also outlined their architecture here:
Venice doesnât spy on you
Venice doesnât censor the AI
In one of the requests, he refused to answer, citing the fact that I was using offensive language. He also stated, âI am not in a position to discuss the physiological characteristics of different groups of people.â
Thus, they are lying about at least one thing; censorship is present after all. Therefore, I canât trust them not to spy as well.

Imo it wouldnât make sense for them to use ChatGPT or Claude since they log and use your queries afaik. Also slightly worse LLMs might be a good tradeoff for a lot of people if this does really improve your privacy by as much as they claim.
lol, they can say whatever they want to AI. This is the purpose of being âuncensoredâ.

The biggest issue is that the free models are only 7B models. Those models can already be run easily on your PC. (Check privacyguides. org/en/ai-chat)
The free tier is not very good but there appears to be a way to get premium without paying a monthly fee by purchasing a crypto token which isnât too pricey.
This seems a bit sketchy honesty. venice.ai might be a nice concept, but if you want private AI just use duck.ai (by DuckDuckGo) or the AI now available at search.brave.com
