> ## 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.

# Pareto API

## Pareto API

Pareto is a large language model by Pareto, available on the Venice API as `pareto`. Requests are anonymized, so the provider never sees your identity.

Pareto is a blended model that runs several frontier models in parallel on every request and returns one answer. It accepts text and image inputs.
