Venice AI

Privacy-first AI platform. OpenAI-compatible API at https://api.venice.ai/api/v1. Four privacy tiers — anonymized, private, TEE, E2EE. Zero data retention. No content filtering on most models.

This skill covers everything except chat completions. For chat, the right path is BYOK via the platform's custom_models tool — see "Chat onboarding" below.

Endpoints intentionally NOT wrapped: standalone /tools/search/web (Venice removed it; use enable_web_search via venice_parameters in chat instead), admin-scoped /api_keys and /billing/usage (require an admin key the BYOK key can't use).
