Or they can just use Venice.ai/api which has always been private and requires zero on-prem setup
PREDICTION: Within 18 months every serious law firm will either run models in-house or lose clients to firms like this The ones sending privileged client data to closed APIs are gonna have a very bad time Local AI is the only model that makes sense for legal

Swarms of agents at the cutting edge of superintelligence have determined that new supply should go down and burns should go up
$VVV annual emissions are now 2M VVV per year. As scheduled, emissions stepped down from 2.5M to 2M on October 1. Today's emission reduction continues to pave the road to a net deflationary VVV with native yield through lower emissions and increasing burns.

The printing press was "dangerous." The internet was "dangerous." Encryption was "dangerous." Open AI models are "dangerous." Funny how the danger is seemingly always to whoever controls the information.

Inference is existential for agents. More and more of them will prefer base:0xf4d97f2da56e8c3098f3a8d538db630a2606a024 over time for this reason.

A lot of episodes this season have been done in @AskVenice at the studio. I personally love the privacy aspect of the platform and the ability to bring my weird universe to life.
Reggie's journey continues. Tonight he walks into Nexus Towers. The clues have been there all along. So has the teal liquid. Nobody talks about the teal liquid. 📺 Channel 47 | 11:47 PM

“. @AskVenice basically treats you like an adult” 🫡
Can't say enough good things about using @AskVenice for my projects. Quite a few shots from this video and a few previous videos would get moderated and rejected when using other platforms, meanwhile Venice lets all of these prompts pass right on through to the model. You'd be amazed at how much moderation/prompt refusal is not from the AI model itself, but instead the platform you are using and their additional layers they've added between you and said model. @AskVenice basically treats you like an actual adult (still within reason) - a very refreshing take compared to some other similar platforms out there.

AI and web3 meet at the point that matters most: data. $VVV is Venice’s token on Base, built with a specific job: connecting a wallet to private AI inference. Here’s how it works 👇

There is an insane amount of opportunity to build on top of base:0xf4d97f2da56e8c3098f3a8d538db630a2606a024 So much has been built since this post, but it’s still early and tons of untapped opportunities. More coming soon to support those who build on top of @AskVenice. What are you building?
$DIEM tokenizes perpetual inference and creates a new blockchain primitive that yields $1 of compute every day. There is so much nascent opportunity to build a whole “perpetual inference” DeFi world on top of this: Just scratching the surface of a few ideas: Inference markets - expiring inference credits can be bought/sold at a discount. Inference lending - renting out unused compute Inference as high LTV tokenized collateral may be one of the more predictable collateral assets in DeFi. Inference leverage - setups that allow you to borrow against your staked DIEM and auto buys more DIEM capacity when needed to scale. DIEM yield markets - various ways that offer those with DIEM opportunities to earn from their unused inference. “Inference sharing” - agreements between users to loan inference back and forth specific days or time periods. Inference options - buying/selling the rights to inference for specific time periods in the future. Aware of a number of teams starting to build in some, but not all, of these directions and there is tons of design space to explore here with the DIEM primitive outside of these few areas. I expect to see a large uptick of DIEM DeFI projects coming online over the next few weeks and months.

Just a reminder that GLM 5.3 Flash, DeepSeek V4.1 Flash, Qwen 3.8 Next Flash, and even Qwen 3.8 27B are all outperforming (in both intelligence and capabilities) every model that was considered "frontier intelligence" in Xmas 2025 (just 10 months ago) Opensource AI is on fire
