While Wall Street investors grappled with less certain American AI supremacy, Crypto hosted its own bit of AI news with the long-awaited expansion of crypto AI platform Venice.
The service, a “privacy-focused” alternative to mainstream AI services, launched its API and VVV token yesterday. First launched in May 2024, Venice aims to offer open, decentralized, generative AI without the data-logging or censorship prevalent in commercial platforms like ChatGPT. Yesterday, the platform surprised the market with the airdrop of its VVV token, which arrived just as DeepSeek, the new, headline-grabbing AI out of China (which is also openly integrated into Venice), tightened its global access. All these forces have mixed to make Venice the talk of the town and worthy of a deeper dive.
