Venice SD35
Venice's custom-configured Stable Diffusion 3.5 engine, delivering high-fidelity photorealism and creative freedom with zero prompt retention.
Overview
What is Venice SD35
Venice SD35 is a custom-configured text-to-image model based on Stability AI's Stable Diffusion 3.5 Large. Integrated into Venice Image Engine V2 in April 2025, it uses a specialized ComfyUI workflow backend to deliver enhanced natural language understanding, photorealism, and prompt adherence.
Running it privately on Venice
Running Venice SD35 on Venice guarantees absolute privacy with zero prompt retention. Unlike mainstream platforms that profile your creative inputs, Venice processes your generations anonymously without storing or training on your prompts. You also pay a flat $0.01 per image, keeping high-quality generation highly accessible.
Assessment
Strengths and limitations
- Excellent natural language understanding, processing conversational prompts more effectively than stock SD 3.5.
- Highly customizable outputs using pixel-based width and height sizing.
- Open-weights foundation (Stable Diffusion 3.5 Large) ensures transparency and community-driven alignment.
- Extremely cost-effective at a flat $0.01 per image generation.
- Prompt limit is capped at 1,500 characters, which may restrict highly detailed scene descriptions.
- Lacks native multi-turn conversational image editing in this configuration.
- Does not run in a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) or feature end-to-end encryption.
