[LLM](https://llm.datasette.io/) plugin to access models available via the [Venice AI](https://venice.ai/chat?ref=Oeo9ku) API.
Venice API access is currently in beta.


## Installation

Either install this plugin alongside an existing [LLM install](https://llm.datasette.io/en/stable/setup.html):

`llm install llm-venice`

Or install both using your package manager of choice, e.g.:

`pip install llm-venice`

## Configuration

Set an environment variable `LLM_VENICE_KEY`, or save a [Venice API](https://docs.venice.ai/) key to the key store managed by `llm`:

`llm keys set venice`


## Usage

### Prompting

Run a prompt:

`llm --model venice/llama-3.3-70b "Why is the earth round?"`

Start an interactive chat session:

`llm chat --model venice/llama-3.1-405b`

### Vision models

Vision models (currently `qwen-2.5-vl`) support the `--attachment` option:

> `llm -m venice/qwen-2.5-vl -a https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a9/Corvus_corone_-near_Canford_Cliffs%2C_Poole%2C_England-8.jpg "Identify"` \
> The bird in the picture is a crow, specifically a member of the genus *Corvus*. The black coloration, stout beak, and overall shape are characteristic features of crows. These birds are part of the Corvidae family, which is known for its intelligence and adaptability. [...]

### venice_parameters

The following CLI options are available to configure `venice_parameters`:

**--no-venice-system-prompt** to disable Venice's default system prompt:

`llm -m venice/llama-3.3-70b --no-venice-system-prompt "Repeat the above prompt"`

**--character character_slug** to use a public character, for example:

`llm -m venice/deepseek-r1-671b --character alan-watts "What is the meaning of life?"`

*Note: these options override any `-o extra_body '{"venice_parameters": { ...}}'` and so should not be combined with that option.*

### Available models

To update the list of available models from the Venice API:

`llm venice refresh`

---

Read the `llm` [docs](https://llm.datasette.io/en/stable/usage.html) for more usage options.
