Venice Now Hosts All Leading Frontier Models

We've significantly expanded our model library to include the latest and most powerful frontier AI models available. For text, we've added Grok 4.1 Fast with reasoning and vision, Claude Opus 4.5, Gemini 3 Pro Preview, Kimi K2, GPT-5.2, and Deepseek 3.2. For video, we've launched LTX 2 Video, Kling 2.6, and the new Longcat video models. For image generation, GPT-Image-1.5 is now available for alpha users.

These models use credits, and requests through these models are anonymized. Venice is now your one-stop-shop for accessing cutting-edge AI.
