Ask ChatGPT something it decides is too edgy — a joke that names a real politician, a straight answer about how lock-picking works, a villain monologue that doesn't get sanitized halfway through — and you'll get a refusal, a lecture, or a watered-down version of what you actually asked for.

Venice runs GLM 5.2 as its default model, with no conversation logging on the default model and no training on user inputs; conversation history is stored client-side, in your browser, not on Venice's servers. Content policy here is adjustable safety, not blanket refusal: Venice's defaults are permissive within legal limits, and you can loosen them further from your own settings.

Need more reasoning power for a longer, sharper answer? Switch to Claude Sonnet 5.5 or Claude Opus 5.5 — Venice operates as an anonymizing proxy for those models, stripping identifying metadata before your request reaches Anthropic (Anthropic still receives the conversation content itself, just not your identity).

With 230+ open-source and frontier models total, the same account that gives you a straight, unhedged answer can also generate the images, video, or code to go with it. Venice doesn't cut you off because a mainstream provider's content policy decided the topic was too sensitive to touch.
