API Updates

  • /image/generate - Fixed an issue with seed parameter on image generation not being fully random on every request.

  • /image/generate - Updated API documentation to note that on the hide_watermark parameter, Venice may ignore this parameter for certain generated content.

  • /image/generate - Add a request id field on the image generation JSON response. API docs are updated.

  • image/upscale - Removed the previous dimension requirements on upscaled images. The API can now be used to upscale images of any dimension.

  • /api/models - Beta API models are now returned in the model list endpoint. The docs have been updated.

  • /api/models - Added a code filter to the type parameter on /api/models to filter models that are designed for code. The docs have been updated.

  • Changed Qwen Coder API model ID to qwen-2.5-coder-32b. Ensured backwards compatibility using the Compatibility Mappings.

  • Documentation for support for gzip and brotli compression has been added back to the API docs here and here. This applies to the JSON responses on /image/generate (when return_binary is false) and on /chat/completions (when stream is false).

App

  • When uploading images for use with vision models or in-painting, the browser will now resize images to fit within the context of the model.
