> ## Agent Instructions
> The Venice API is OpenAI-compatible: use any OpenAI SDK with the base URL `https://api.venice.ai/api/v1` and a Venice API key, or pay per request from a USDC wallet through x402 with no account.
> Read model IDs from `GET /models` or `GET /models/traits` at runtime instead of hardcoding them from memory or from these pages. Models are added and retired often.
> Every model's price is in https://docs.venice.ai/pricing.md. Quote video and audio jobs with `POST /video/quote` or `POST /audio/quote` before you queue them.
> Search these docs from an MCP client at https://docs.venice.ai/mcp. The full agent guide is https://docs.venice.ai/agents.md.

# Changelog

> Changes to the Venice API: each month's new endpoints, parameters, errors and limits, and every model added, deprecated, removed or repriced.

API changes, such as new endpoints, parameters, errors and limits, are collected each month. Model changes are recorded from `GET /models` as they happen: models added, deprecated or removed, and price changes, starting October 1, 2026. Upcoming removals are also on the [deprecations page](https://docs.venice.ai/overview/deprecations.md), and changes to the Venice apps are in the [Venice changelog](https://venice.ai/changelog).

**Added**

* [Seedance 2.5](https://docs.venice.ai/models/seedance-2-5.md?v=seedance-2-5-edit-video-basic): `seedance-2-5-edit-video-basic`

**Removed**

* Grok Imagine High Quality: `grok-imagine-quality-edit`
* Grok Imagine High Quality (SOTA): `grok-imagine-image-quality`
* Hermes 3 Llama 3.1 405b: `hermes-3-llama-3.1-405b`

**October 2026**

* **Default Model Trait** — The `default` and `function_calling_default` traits now point to `deepseek-v4-1-flash-1017-uncensored` instead of `zai-org-glm-5-2`, so requests that send either trait as `model`, and lookups through `GET /models/traits`, now get the new model.
* **OpenAI Model Names** — `gpt-4o`, `gpt-4o-2024-05-13`, `gpt-4o-2024-08-06`, `gpt-4o-2024-11-20` and `chatgpt-4o-latest` now resolve to `openai-gpt-4o-2024-11-20`, and `gpt-4o-mini`, `gpt-4o-mini-2024-07-18` and the `gpt-3.5-turbo` names resolve to `openai-gpt-4o-mini-2024-07-18`, instead of `llama-3.3-70b`, and are billed at the resolved model's price. Keys restricted to private models still get `llama-3.3-70b`.
* **Claude Model Names** — Older Claude names now resolve to Claude models instead of `llama-3.3-70b` or a 404: Claude 3, 3.5, 3.7 and 4.0 Sonnet names such as `claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022` go to `claude-sonnet-5-5`, Claude 3, 3.5 and 4.5 Haiku names go to `claude-haiku-5-5`, and Claude 3, 4.0 and 4.1 Opus names go to `claude-opus-4-8`, billed at the resolved model's price. `claude-opus-4-5-20251101` is now an alias of `claude-opus-4-5`, and keys restricted to private models still get `llama-3.3-70b` for the four names it served before.
* **Image Balance Holds** — `/image/generate`, `/images/generations`, `/image/edit`, `/image/multi-edit`, `/image/upscale` and `/image/background-remove` now reserve the quoted price from an API key's balance before running, so a balance that cannot cover it gets 402 `INSUFFICIENT_BALANCE` up front instead of the request running and overdrawing the account. The \$0.10 minimum balance no longer applies to these endpoints, and x402 wallet requests are unchanged.
* **Native Responses Mode** — `POST /responses` now serves OpenAI models in native mode by default: `instructions` and `text.format` are applied (an invalid `text.format` now returns 400 instead of being ignored), output items, IDs and stream events follow the OpenAI Responses format exactly, and the Venice system prompt is off unless `venice_parameters.include_venice_system_prompt` is `true`. Send `x-venice-responses-mode: compat` to keep the previous behavior or `native` to require native mode, and read the `x-venice-responses-lane` response header to see which mode served a request.
* **Responses Unsupported Features** — For requests to OpenAI models sent without an `x-venice-responses-mode` header, `/responses` now returns 400 for features Venice cannot serve, such as `previous_response_id`, `conversation`, stored prompts, `background`, the `flex` and `priority` service tiers, hosted tools like `code_interpreter`, `file_search`, `image_generation` and `mcp`, and `file_id`, `file_url` or `item_reference` inputs. These requests previously returned 200 with the feature silently dropped.
* **Image Content Policy Errors** — `/image/generate` and `/images/generations` now return 422 when a prompt is refused for content policy, with `retryable` and, when available, `suggested_prompt` and `recommended_model`; some of these requests previously returned 200 with a black image. Multi-variant `/image/generate` requests return the variants that succeeded and report the refused ones in `content_policy_violation_count` and the `x-venice-content-violation-count` header, and content refusals on `/image/edit` and `/image/multi-edit` now return the same 422 fields.
* **Null Bytes Rejected** — String fields in API requests, including chat message content and `/audio/speech` input, now reject the null character (U+0000) with a 400 validation error that reports `String must not contain null bytes`.
* **API Key IP Allowlists** — `POST /api_keys`, `PATCH /api_keys` and `POST /api_keys/generate_web3_key` accept `ipAllowlist`, a list of up to 100 public IPv4 or IPv6 addresses or CIDR ranges, and key responses return it in CIDR notation. Requests from any other source IP get 403 `This API key is restricted to configured IP addresses, and this request's source IP is not allowed`, and an empty list allows every IP.
* **Billing Balance Credits** — Earned credits are now spent on API usage after DIEM and before bundled credits and USD. `GET /billing/balance` adds `balances.earnedCredits` and `balances.bundledCredits`, `consumptionCurrency` names the first currency in that order with a positive balance (`DIEM`, `EARNED_CREDITS`, `BUNDLED_CREDITS` or `USD`), and `canConsume` is true when the combined spendable balance is at least \$0.10. `GET /billing/usage-history` accepts and returns the `EARNED_CREDITS` currency.
* **Z-Image Turbo Rate Limits** — `z-image-turbo`, the `default` image model, now allows 300 requests per minute on paid keys, up from 20.
* **Paid Tier Rate Limits** — Paid keys get higher requests-per-minute limits on `deepseek-v4-flash` (1,000 to 2,000), `deepseek-v4-1-flash` (450 to 1,000), `z-ai-glm-5-3-flash` (1,000 to 2,000), `gemma-4-uncensored` (100 to 400), `venice-uncensored-1-2` (150 to 300), `qwen-3-8-27b` (100 to 300) and `jev-latest` (100 to 200).
* **Transparent Image Backgrounds** — `/image/generate`, `/image/edit` and `/image/multi-edit` accept `transparent_background: true`, and `/images/generations` now honors `background: "transparent"`, on `gpt-image-1-5`, `gpt-image-2-5-flare`, `gpt-image-2-5-sunburst` and their `-edit` variants. `GET /models` reports support in `model_spec.constraints.supportsTransparentBackground`, and requests for other models or for JPEG output return 400.
* **Exa Web Search** — `POST /augment/search` accepts `search_provider: "exa"` on every API key, with Zero Data Retention.
* **Augment Rate Limits** — `/augment/search` and `/augment/scrape` now allow 60 requests per minute per user on every tier, up from 20.
* **Usage History API Key ID** — Each `GET /billing/usage-history` entry now includes `apiKeyId`, the ID of the API key it was charged to, or `null` for web app usage and for entries that are not usage, such as purchases and grants. CSV exports add a trailing `apiKeyId` column.
* **Negative USD Balance** — `GET /billing/balance` now returns a negative `balances.usd` when the account owes USD or a pending hold exceeds the posted USD balance, instead of `null`; the field is `null` only when the balance is zero.
* **Video Complete Changes** — `POST /video/complete` no longer requires `model`, which is now deprecated and ignored, and returns 409 `The media is not ready yet. Retrieve it until it has completed, then call complete.` when called before the video has finished.
* **Voice Changer Access** — The voice changer endpoints (`/audio/voice-changer/quote`, `/audio/voice-changer/queue`, `/audio/voice-changer/retrieve` and `/audio/voice-changer/complete`) can now be used by every API key with the `elevenlabs-voice-changer` model.
* **Decision Image Inputs** — `POST /decisions` and `POST /systemone` accept an optional `images` array of 1 to 4 PNG or JPEG images, each a `data:` URI or a `{ content_type, base64 }` object of up to 13,631,488 characters. Remote image URLs are not fetched.
* **Claude Tool-Loop Prompt Caching** — On Claude models, earlier conversation history in tool-calling loops is now read from the prompt cache instead of being billed again at the full input rate, and `cache_control` set on assistant and tool messages is now honored instead of dropped; when more than four cache markers are sent, the four most recent are kept.
* **Prompt Cache Retention** — `/responses` now accepts `prompt_cache_retention` (`in_memory`, `default`, `extended` or `24h`), and on OpenAI models a value of `extended` or `24h` on `/chat/completions` and `/responses` now requests 24-hour retention instead of being ignored. Models that do not support the field no longer return 400 when it is sent.
* **Image Detail** — Image inputs on `/chat/completions` and `/responses` now pass `detail` (`auto`, `low` or `high`) to the model instead of dropping it, and accept `detail: "original"`, which is treated as `high` on models that do not support it. An explicit `high` can increase image-token usage and cost.
* **Responses Custom Tools** — In compatibility mode, `/responses` now applies `instructions` as system instructions, returns declared custom tools as `custom_tool_call` items with the raw `input` and custom-tool stream events instead of function calls, keeps the `namespace` of namespaced tools, and accepts a `tool_choice` of type `custom`. `/responses` also accepts the `client_metadata` field and `additional_tools` input items that Codex sends, which previously returned 400.
* **Responses Tool Search** — `/responses` supports client-run tool discovery with a `tool_search` tool (`execution: "client"`), `defer_loading` on function tools, and `tool_search_call` and `tool_search_output` items in streamed output and replayed history. `/chat/completions` now returns 400 for these fields instead of ignoring them.
* **Responses Created Event** — In compatibility mode, the streamed `response.created` event now carries the full response under `response`, as the OpenAI SDKs expect, and keeps its previous top-level fields, which are now deprecated.
* **Responses Beta** — `POST /responses` is now labeled beta instead of alpha, and the API reference documents it as available to all API users.
* **Missing Model Field** — API inference requests without a `model` field now return 400 `model is required` instead of 404.
* **Retry-After On Lockouts** — 429 responses from the per-key error budgets for failed and unsupported-feature requests now include a `Retry-After` header with the whole seconds until the window resets, at least 1.
* **Error Budget Counting** — Each failed response now counts once toward the failed-request budget; JSON error responses previously counted twice, which locked keys out after 25 failures in 30 seconds instead of 50.
* **Scrape Failure Status** — `POST /augment/scrape` now returns 502 with the failure reason when a URL cannot be scraped, instead of 500.
* **Image Input Rejection Messages** — When the model rejects a request's input, `/image/generate` and `/images/generations` now return 400 with a Venice error message instead of a 500 or the model's raw error text, and `/image/edit` and `/image/multi-edit` keep their status codes but also return Venice's message.
* **Image Validation Order** — `/image/upscale` and `/image/background-remove` now reject invalid requests with 400 before the balance and rate-limit checks, so these requests no longer use up rate-limit capacity or return 402 first. `/image/background-remove` now answers an image URL it cannot fetch, including private or reserved addresses, with 400 instead of 500.
* **Corrupted Image Output** — When a model returns a corrupted image, the image generation and edit endpoints now return 500 `The provider returned a corrupted image` instead of `An unknown error occurred`.
* **Background Removal Size Limit** — `/image/background-remove` now returns 422 instead of 500 for images that exceed the model's pixel limit.
* **Image Rejection Reasons** — When an image input on `/chat/completions` or `/responses` fails validation, the 400 `INVALID_IMAGE_FORMAT` message now ends with the specific reason, such as an image smaller than 64x64 pixels, an SVG, a missing `data:image/...;base64,` prefix or undecodable data.
* **Images Generations Moderation** — `POST /images/generations` now treats `moderation: null` like the default `auto` and blurs adult images; it previously returned them unblurred, as with `low`.
* **Tool Message Array Content** — `/chat/completions` tool messages whose `content` is an array of text parts now reach the model as plain text instead of serialized JSON, which lowers prompt tokens and stops `cache_control` values from leaking into the model's input.
* **Gemini Tool Schemas** — On `gemini-4-argon`, `gemini-3-8-flash`, `gemini-3-7-flash`, `gemini-3-6-flash` and `gemini-3-5-flash-lite`, tool parameter schemas and `json_schema` response formats are now passed through as written, so schemas that use `$ref`, `$defs`, `oneOf`, `allOf`, `examples` or type arrays such as `["string", "null"]` no longer fail with 400.
* **Gemini Tool Call Streaming** — On the same Gemini models, streamed tool-call arguments now arrive incrementally instead of all at once when the call completes, so long tool calls no longer time out with 504.
* **One-Token Output Caps** — Requests that set `max_tokens` or `max_completion_tokens` to 1 no longer fail with 400 on `kimi-k3`; on some models a cap of 1 is now raised to 2 tokens, and both tokens are billed.
* **Wan 2.7 Reference Video Billing** — `/video/quote` and charges for `wan-2-7-reference-to-video` now count the seconds of reference videos in addition to the output seconds; requests with only reference images are still billed on output seconds.
* **Failed Speech Requests** — `POST /audio/speech` requests that fail with a server error are no longer charged for their input characters.
* **x402 Image Variant Charges** — x402 wallet requests to `/image/generate` that ask for several `variants` are now charged for every variant returned instead of one.
* **Aliased Image Edit Billing** — `/image/edit` and `/image/multi-edit` requests that name a model by an alias, such as `qwen-edit`, are now charged at the resolved model's price; these edits were previously not billed.
* **Video Refunds After Delivery** — `POST /video/retrieve` no longer refunds a video's credits when a later retrieve call fails after the video has already been delivered.
* **Flux 3 Video Resolutions** — `flux-3-text-to-video`, `flux-3-image-to-video` and `flux-3-first-last-frame-to-video` accept `resolution` values `1440p` and `2160p` in addition to `720p` and `1080p`.
* **Wan 2.7 Negative Prompts** — `wan-2-7-text-to-image` and `wan-2-7-pro-text-to-image` now ignore `negative_prompt`.
* **MiniMax Speech Content Policy** — Speech requests on `tts-minimax-speech-02-hd` that are refused for content policy now return 400 `The request was rejected due to content policy violations.` instead of 500, and are still not charged.
* **Responses Item IDs** — Items that `/responses` returns in compatibility mode now carry IDs with the prefix for their item type, so replaying them in a later request no longer fails validation.
* **Malformed Model Suffix** — Chat and Responses requests whose model feature suffix contains invalid URL encoding now return 400 instead of hanging until the client times out.
* **x402 Rate Limit Responses** — x402 wallet requests to media and augment endpoints that exceed their rate limit now get 429 instead of no response.
* **API Key Revocation Errors** — `DELETE /api_keys` now returns 500 when revocation fails, instead of returning `{ "success": true }` while the key stays active.
* **Missing Credentials Documentation** — The error reference now states that a request with no API key or x402 sign-in header returns 402 Payment Required with an x402 payment challenge, and that only an invalid API key returns 401; the API itself did not change.
* **Rate Limit Header Units** — The rate limit reference now states that `x-ratelimit-reset-requests` and `x-ratelimit-reset-tokens` are Unix timestamps in milliseconds; `x-ratelimit-reset-tokens` was previously described as seconds until reset.
