Listed competitors
Venice.ai focuses on a privacy-first, local-first approach to running open-source models, whereas Hugging Face is a broader platform for model sharing and collaboration with a cloud-centric model.
Venice.ai emphasizes uncensored and privacy-focused generation using open-source models, contrasting with OpenAI's proprietary models and content moderation policies.
“OpenAI is not going to win because they have the best models, or the most advanced chips, or the best cost-performance curve, or even the…” r/codex
While both leverage open-source models, Venice.ai's core differentiator is its local-first, privacy-centric architecture for running these models, offering users more control and anonymity.

Needs improvements
I’ve been trying out Venice AI, and while I really like that it’s uncensored and it lets me fully express my imagination when writing any story or helping me with work and projects or anything else I would like to do but it seriously needs…
Almost Excellent
I really really like how it combines all the best AI tools into one three to try or pro subscription for $18 a month at the time of this review. I think there's some issues with the pro version as I could only get three videos for the $18 b…
Please make the app accessible for users with Screen readers.
I don’t know if the developers actually read their reviews. But I have a small request. I downloaded this app because of all the great reviews and amazing talk i’d heard about it online. But unfortunately, as soon as I launched the app itse…
Honest Answers? Ah no
To claim that at the top of your description is a bit incorrect. More times than I can count the two different models I have used have simple made things up to give me the answer it thought I wanted. I have wasted 3 days trying to fix a pro…
Not as advertised any more
Venice used to operate well (native app and the Web); a week ago (as of writing this 2nd June), the mobile app is completely censored regardless of paid level, the agentic agent feedback of capabilities (anime or Chroma models). The app its…
Massive down grade
I like Venice Ai. I believe in the mission. But for an iOS app to lose massive functionality over its safari optimized browser version. As simple as copying specific text or editing user inputs is unexceptable. Especially for devs that know…
Some AI are good some AI are terrible
Venice AI as a platform is decent, it provides multiple different AI which u can use. But apart from 1 or 2, most AI are very bad in terms of conversation. They just ask constant questions and can barely keep the conversation going, very st…
WIP and you can tell
It’s definitely a work in progress app/AI and you can tell. I do believe that for creative writing; let it be stories, poetry, whatever is miles ahead of other popular AIs. It is uncensored and you are in more control of your privacy with t…
Sluggish to update daily limit
Although there is a lot of great potential for this app. It’s still buggy. It neglects to update daily limits even as a premium member at times on the back end even though it acknowledges the limits have been reset in the usage category. Th…
My favorite Ai app
I won’t lie. It’s not as clean cut as Claude or ChatGPT. However the variety of models and just learning how to navigate around it? Pretty baller. Also every time I’ve reached out to customer service, they’ve been super kind. I mostly use V…
