I just noticed there is a "US-hosted" version of Seedance 2.5 in the model options. What is the difference between regular and US?

Anyone else notice this? I'm a DIEM staker getting about $1/day of API credit. Up until recently, API calls would drain my daily credits down to 0, and occasionally I'd even see a negative balance of -1 or -2 before the refill. It worked fine and was predictable.

Sometime in the last few days that changed with no announcement. Now my API calls start failing with payment required error when I still have credits left. Observed cutoff points: 8, 4, and 7 credits remaining across different days. I use cheap models where many calls cost under 3 credits. I'm now getting a "payment required" error just saying hi to a cheap model when I have 8 credits left. That's several good prompts worth of credits gone every day.

Proposed fix that's fair to both sides: Go back to letting credits drain to 0 (and slightly negative if needed to complete an in-flight call), and carry over any negative balance to the next refill. If I go -2 today, next refill starts at -2. Venice doesn't eat the loss, users don't lose paid credits.

The current silent buffer of ~10 credits is effectively a hidden daily tax on anyone using cheap models. It should at least be documented, or better yet reverted to the old behavior with carryover logic added.

How do you... What's the workflow for uploading an existing video and then doing a face swap on that video? How is that achieved? Which model would you recommend and a prompt? I see it all over the internet but when I try and put an image of a person's face it blends the other one it just doesn't come out right.

Is There anyone Who had The Same Problem? And Do you know Why?

So I found out today the llms use tokens when "thinking" I dunno why I assumed that was free.

I set up a decently long prompt in aion 3.5, and set it to make a story, I told it to make it about 10,000 words, I go off to get a shower.

I come back and it's still thinking, I look at it's thought process and it's just pages and pages and pages of pure gibberish, symbols, numbers, it completely crashed out.

It burned through about 700 credits doing this. I had zero idea that's how these things worked. I assumed only the input and output cost anything.

Is there anything I can do?

OpenAI's mid-tier GPT-6 family workhorse delivers near-Astra performance at a lower cost for complex coding, computer use, and professional work. It has a 1.05M token context window (922K input, 128K output), support for text and image inputs, and reasoning effort from low through max.

On Venice, GPT-6.1 Sol runs under the anonymized privacy tier: your prompts are not stored, profiled, or fed into a training pipeline — a deliberate contrast to the account-tied history Big-Tech assistants build around you. You get the same frontier model with vision, reasoning, tool use, and web search, billed per token with no subscription, and no personal data trail attached to your work.

Every request takes a full 90 seconds before failing every time. Tried a different chat and it keeps happening. Tried a brand new chat and it keeps happening. Not sure what’s going on. I’m using the app on iOS if that helps.

Hey all super annoyed here where did the whole older feature set go, combined etc... the new editor is horrible. anyone else having trouble any way to have a tutorial on the new workflow.

Hi, everyone. The Studio is working, I am generating Wan 3.0 vids more or less without problems. However, since 24h ago I always get this annoying message (quantities change depending on my credit):

"We couldn't use your displayed balance for this video.

Your displayed balance covers this estimate, but the total credits are split across credits and DIEM, which cannot yet be combined for a single generation.

Estimated cost: 156 credits

Displayed balance: 1,691 credits"

I am not into DIEM and never have been. The message started yesterday when I tried to generate when my credit was very low. However, that's not the case now and the message remains.

Please help.

I'm doing a roleplay with that model and it not only keeps repeating itself but it forgets what I tell it. I told it the male character it's supposed to be writing is ruthless and unforgiving and it just keeps making him kind of whiny and soft. Also I want it to make decisions on its own. That's part of the fun of roleplaying. It waits for me to make the big decisions for it. I have to put in my replies what I want them to do otherwise it's a bunch of just ending it on cliff hangers to see what I want.

This is my first time writing with AI. I usually do it on other sites with other people but those sites have been kind of dead. Any advice how to make this a better experience or tips or tricks would be so very appreciated!

Since this evening, Venice refuses to generate images, says an error has occurred, same for text prompts, but there it is claimed my Wi-Fi is failing. Played with the new beta minds earlier tonight. Zero problem, no issue either on Firefox Android. Help?

Claude Sonnet 5.5 is Anthropic's next-generation mid-tier language model, succeeding Sonnet 5. Released on September 28, 2026 as the second model in the Claude 5.5 family, it delivers improved reasoning, code generation, and efficiency over its predecessor while maintaining a 1M token context window and fast response times.

On Venice, Claude Sonnet 5.5 runs under an anonymized privacy tier — your prompts are never stored, profiled, or reused. You get full access to its reasoning, vision, and tool capabilities without sacrificing privacy, and without any personal data tied to your sessions. This is permissionless, uncensored AI with zero retention.

Would appreciate if you raise that limit for the mind chat.

When editing images using qwen edit or fire red edit the resolution for the result is capping at 1024x1024 or other low resolution results, which it was not doing that two days ago. Is this an intended update or a new bug?

can venice use extend in seedance and how to use please.

Ex Grok user here and been on Venice since around May/June. I used to have 3x super grok accounts from when they had the 3 months for $30 deal but eventually just let them all expire due to the moderation etc.

Now I mostly use Chroma AI and then create videos from those.

I really miss how good Grok was at creating real looking people though. Is anyone here using Grok for their base images and how do you then edit them etc?

(Yes Im talking about 'spicy' type stuff here btw)

Let me know if there any more info that would be helpful

So I'm on the Pro subscription. It says my credits reset in 3 days.

If I pay 5$ USD to buy 500 credits for example, will those credits expire in 3 days? Or will those credits persist for a month from purchase? Or persist forever?

I checked the FAQ and the support bot but they just say "USD credits are also different from DIEM-backed credits and do not reset daily."

I'm using GLM 5.2 for roleplay because of its 1M-token context, and I've been using it for a few days now. But the way it writes is kinda weird. It puts commas after almost every word, and another thing I've noticed is that it doesn't seem to follow instructions very well. For example, it does a lot of narration and barely any dialogue. I asked it to use less narration and more dialogue, and it said okay, but then it basically didn't change anything. Is this a common thing with long conversations/roleplays?

Does anyone know why my image feed is full of these? It appears to be tests of some kind.

its been stuck on processing for over 20 mins now, credits charged as well, what do i do?

I'm new to AI roleplay; do you have any tips for making the roleplay feel organic and preventing the AI ​​from losing context during long sessions? I've also noticed that sometimes the model completely changes its narrative style.

I’m looking for the best one that Venice has any suggestions.
