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.

Quick capability map

Surface	Function
Catalog	`list_models`, `list_model_traits`, `list_image_styles`, `list_characters`
Account	`account_balance` (balance + tier + rate-limit count)
Image	`image_generate`, `image_edit`, `image_upscale`
Audio	`tts`, `transcribe`
Embeddings	`embeddings` (default `text-embedding-bge-m3`, dim 1024)
Chat probe	`chat_with_venice_parameters` (one-shot)
Video	`video_quote`, `video_queue`, `video_retrieve`, `video_complete`, `video_generate` (full loop), `video_transcribe_youtube`

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).
