Venice AI

Venice AI exposes an OpenAI-compatible model API. Fased registers it as the venice provider, discovers the Venice model list when the API is reachable, and lets each Agent choose Venice for primary, fallback, or task model roles.
  • Provider: venice
  • Auth: VENICE_API_KEY
  • API: OpenAI-compatible
  • Base URL: https://api.venice.ai/api/v1
  • Default model ref: venice/zai-org-glm-5-1

​
Quick Start

  1. Create an API key at venice.ai.
  2. Open Agents, select the Agent, then use Agent > Models > Venice AI.
  3. Paste the API key and choose that Agent’s model roles.
CLI setup: 
fased onboard --auth-choice venice-api-key
Non-interactive setup: 
fased onboard --non-interactive \
  --auth-choice venice-api-key \
  --venice-api-key "$VENICE_API_KEY"
Verify: 
fased agent --model venice/zai-org-glm-5-1 --message "Hello, are you working?"

​
Model Selection

Use Agent > Models as the source of truth for the current Venice catalog. The runtime starts with Fased’s checked-in model metadata, then can refresh from the Venice API when credentials and network access are available. Common refs in the current Fased catalog include:
RefUse
venice/zai-org-glm-5-1Default Venice model ref
venice/qwen3-coder-480b-a35b-instruct-turboCoding-heavy tasks
venice/qwen3-vl-235b-a22bVision-capable route
venice/deepseek-v4-proReasoning route
venice/kimi-k2-6Kimi route
venice/claude-opus-4-7Claude route through Venice
venice/openai-gpt-55OpenAI route through Venice
venice/gemini-3-1-pro-previewGemini route through Venice
venice/grok-4-20Grok route through Venice
venice/openai-gpt-oss-120bOpen-weight route
Set an Agent model from the CLI when needed: 
fased models set venice/zai-org-glm-5-1
fased models list | grep venice

​
Privacy And Routing

Venice publishes model-specific privacy and routing modes. Treat Agent > Models and Venice’s own account/model documentation as the authority for the current mode, pricing, availability, and provider route. Fased records the model ref you select and sends requests to the configured Venice API endpoint; it does not change Venice’s upstream policy.

Config Example

{
  env: { VENICE_API_KEY: "vapi_..." },
  agents: {
    defaults: {
      model: { primary: "venice/zai-org-glm-5-1" },
    },
  },
  models: {
    mode: "merge",
    providers: {
      venice: {
        baseUrl: "https://api.venice.ai/api/v1",
        apiKey: "${VENICE_API_KEY}",
        api: "openai-completions",
      },
    },
  },
}

Notes

  • Inference requires a valid VENICE_API_KEY.
  • If the Gateway runs under systemd or launchd, make sure VENICE_API_KEY is available to that process or stored through the Fased auth/config flow.
  • Some models may be renamed, added, removed, or temporarily unavailable by the provider. Use Agent > Models to check the currently reachable catalog.
  • Check Venice pricing, API docs, and status for provider-side details.
