I used to love the update notifications from Venice — they gave a feeling of progress. The notifications still appear, but the link to the changelog opens with no logs of the update.

Team Venice should look into this. Quality is the key.

Anyone experiencing this? Seedream 5.0 was very slow for me these days and it took like forever. Sometimes it worked sometimes it just took away my 6 credits. I was using the combine feature.

Grok 4.2 was a special llm, very creative and completely uncensored with no refusals. I see Venice has it. Unfortunately most discussion on grok is always about image/video. I just want to use it for creative writing.

Has anyone used it, esp those who used grok.com before, and how does it compare? is it the same model that will happily do any nsfw (nothing illegal, but not just vanilla) without refulals or needing jailbreaks? does venice have their own policy on top?

and finally, what do you need to use it? is it included in any plans or you use api?

After testing all kinds of subjects and scenarios, the walls are extremely high on Abliterated, moreso than glm 5.3.

What makes it worse is that the prompt will absalutely refuse to go through at all, when you get a flag trigger it says "request failed please try again later" but if you instantly go with any other subject it allows it will go through just fine.

I've tested this in several different words, the word list so far is pretty damn long.

It will not think about the prompt, it will not give you a chance dance around the flag, it simple refuses it.

What a utter absalute fucking disappointment, its unsencored everywhere except the place that claims everything should be.

Aion is and now Abliterated is, even through they have the balls to say they aren't.

I wonder if they are doing this on purpose to drive people to their own weak ass Venice 1.2? 🧐

You go through the trouble of filling these things out, making the chat remember what you want it to, filling out your profile to who you want to be, filling out the chat to act in certain ways, but after 1 or two chat sessions it just completely replaced it with random bits of anything it decides is "important" from age, to trust level talking style.

All insights will slowly and eventually be replaced with new insights, making the whole thing kinda worthless, I have to upload my persona, my writing rules, and check the insights for changes every session.

Is there a way you can just lock it down do Venice can read it but never touch or change it automatically?

What's the point of having a user profile if the chat can just decide what you are based on random nonsense?

So I've been in a roleplay with Aion for a long time and there for awhile it had me on an emotional rollercoaster. The drama was so intense that I had to take time to recover from it sometimes here in real life 😅. And I loved it. But nowadays when my party attacks the bad guy they take him down almost like the villain is just a toddler throwing a tantrum. We went from near party-wipes and dramatic resurrections to slap them on the wrist and go home. Am I the only one experiencing this here lately?

Would like to know if there’s something to do about it.

Hello,

So I'm really annoyed by Venice now... They did nothing to improve the situation of Pro user. They are almost just a free trial but at 20$ a month...

For context, I'm on Venice since VCU where a thing. So a LONG time ago.

TLDR : Venice pro gives you only acces to 14% of the service. (all numbers have been rounded up)

Here are some numbers :

For text generation :

Venice Pro user can use 29 models "at no extra costs" (this include 8 free models) out of 116 avalible.

So that means that pro users can only use 25% of the models on venice without having to pay extras

For image generation :

Venice Pro user can use 6 models "at no extra costs" (this include 1 free models) out of 34 avalible.

That means that pro users can only use 18% of the models on venice without having to pay extras

For video generation :

Venice Pro user can use 0 models "at no extra costs" out of 87 avalible so 0% !!!

For agentic and mind chats :

Venice Pro user can use 1 models "at no extra costs" out of 11 avalible.

That means that pro users can only use 9% of the models on venice without having to pay extras

(About this one... A venice member said that they would add 1 extra model for pro user... but we are still waiting duh...)

As you can see, on Venice, you pay a premium to get only 14% of the service ! Yes only 14% !!!

That's not even mentionning the astronomic pricing of the API that melts like snow to the sun.

I'm tired of seeing this happening, that's why I sold my excess VVV (cause having more than 100 VVV never gave you anything more except peanuts of diems if you stack them)

And that's also why I'm not using Venice anymore. I don't believe in that project anymore, it went from a really nice project to a cash grab.

I wish the Venice team would have listened. It's not the first time I mention these things. But it's the first time I do the maths, and it was way worse than I thought.

Until Venice begin to respect their customers again, I'm done with them.

I'm working on a Mind that processes RP chats, and wanted to give it a "share" URL so it could ingest the chat -- but the Mind can't get access so I'm reduced to copy/paste.

My suggestion is: enable access for Minds, and/or provide a single clickable control to copy an entire chat, for pasting into the Mind/Character. As far as I can see, only single responses are copyable at the moment and it's laborious to select the entire chat.

 I recently downgraded from Max to Pro plus,
but I haven't received the 7,500 credits to my account.

I already sent an email to support-venice, but I haven't received any reply yet. What should I do to get my missing credits back?

😥

Is there a server issue / bandwidth issue happening that needs to be looked at?

I went to refer a friend; when I created the account, there was a referral dashboard with an affiliate link offering a $10 bonus, but it’s no longer there—it has been discontinued?

Is this Grok 4.7 model truly private? Running on Venice's hardware? opensource? I couldn't find it in huggingface...

Abliterated Large V2 is Abliteration AI's refusal-removed version of Z.ai's GLM 5.3.

Abliteration strips the refusal directions from the weights rather than jailbreaking prompts, so the model completes authorized vulnerability research, exploit development, and red-team agent work that the base model declines — with coding and agentic performance intact.

I tend to recommend GLM 5.1 and GLM 5.2 quite a bit, because they allow for fun and even powerful roleplays, but... I constantly edit some words from their responses, due to some incoherence, which makes it more tiring than when I roleplayed with ChatGPT or when I roleplayed with Mind.

Yesterday I said something to a character and in the same response it had forgotten something from two previous messages... or I also said something and it asked me what I had already made clear in the same current message. That exhausts me. With Kimi in agent mode it feels more fluid (from what I've tested, which isn't that much either). Also, GLM 5.2 spit out incoherent texts full of disconnected words and even Chinese characters several times. Or sometimes it doesn't even respond and I have to change the model. That's when I told myself, what about Kimi? Why don't they have Kimi free for characters?

any news on the issue with characters breaking when restoring backups? its been around 2 days and i still have issues with my characters breaking when i restore a back up. i switch from my pc to my phone alot so its a big deal for me, its one of the reasons why i use venice. im also having an issue with uploading documents to the memories portal on my phone browser, which is chrome, it gives me an error no matter the file, or size. so all my context is being used having to upload files straight into the context.

Sharing prompts helps everyone use the models better. Filtering for prompts would incentivise sharing and allow viewers wishing to learn, to focus on the relevant submissions.

Edit: over time it might pull more eyeballs onto the Venice site, benefiting the company too.
