Thanks for your patience in-between release notes — the Venice team has been hard at work over the last month at our all-hands offsite preparing for Venice V2 and shipping our most requested feature to date, Venice Video.

Moving forward, release notes will move to a bi-weekly cadence.

Venice Video

Video generation is now live on Venice for all users.

You can create videos on Venice using both text-to-video and image-to-video generation. This release brings state-of-the-art video generation models to our platform including Sora 2 and Veo 3.1.

You can learn all about this offering here.

Venice Support Bot

• Launched AI-powered Venice Support Bot for instant, 24/7 assistance directly in the UI.

• Bot pulls real-time information from venice.ai/faqs to provide up-to-date answers to common questions.

• Users can escalate to create support tickets with context when additional help is needed beyond FAQ responses.

• Available in English, Spanish, and German.

• Accessible via bottom-right corner (desktop) or chat history drawer (mobile browser/PWA).

App

• Launched Image “Remix Mode” - This is like regenerate, but uses AI to modify the original prompt. This provides an avenue to explore image generation prompts in more depth.

• Added “Spotlight Search” to the UI. Press Command+K on a Mac or Control+K on Windows to open the conversation search.

• Add a toggle in the Preferences to control the behavior of the “Enter” key when editing a prompt.

Characters

• Venice has launched a “context summarizer” feature which should improve the LLMs understanding of important events and context in longer character conversations.

API

• Added 3 new models in “beta” for users to experiment with:

  • Hermes Llama 3.1 405b

  • Qwen 3 Next 80b

  • Qwen 3 Coder 480b

• Retired “Legacy Diem” (previously known as VCU). All inference through the API is now billed either through staked tokenized Diem or USD.
