@ErikVoorhees @reneil1337 I mean, this certainly isn’t the reason Venice lost access to Fable, which it was charging a massive mark-up on. Venice doesn’t train or host its own models, so it’s 100% reliant on access from third parties. Study @imgn_ai if you want censorship resistance. Not a reseller.

@AlgodTrading Talking about the $DIEM compute ponzi that's currently netting Venice $13mil/yr in liabilities? If it helps, their mark-ups are so criminal that it's actually only worth about 30c per "dollar" they're giving out.

@AlgodTrading Basically, yes $VVV holders are now the exit liquidity for VC tokens, while the VCs will keep their equity and stonewall any attempts to "waste cash" on token buy/burn moves. Fiduciary responsibility is for equity, not for tokens. https://t.co/5vQvSdmkLH

@ErikVoorhees Remember though, you'll still pay the Opus 4.8 price if you use Venice. Use GLM 5.2 at @imgn_ai - and hit the exact same endpoint, at a fraction of the cost! https://t.co/yl9FEVrHGD

@Yourpop8 @AskVenice Keep in mind that @imgn_ai's API releases this week Offering every E2EE privacy model Venice does at up to 40% discounts, with support for x402 on solana/base. ..and then all their own proprietary models on top. Along with all their web2 users from the past 3.5yrs.

There's only 2 ways $VVV / Venice goes after imgnAI's API is released 1: Agents auto-update & quickly swap over, given it's up to 40% cheaper for E2EE 2: Agents don't auto-update - the ones running on imgnAI outperform massively until the rest are manually upgraded. https://t.co/QS6pPuXjEE

If you liked $FTT and $LUNC You'll love $VVV and $DIEM! At a current market price of $1,379 per DIEM and 38,334 DIEM in circulation, that's $38,337/day Or, $14.0M/year of API credits that *someone* (hopefully not you!) has to eventually pay, and growing. Now this MIGHT get covered by people paying the 40%-300% margins on Venice's third party models, if enough people don't realize the margins are so high. OR, they might instead use @imgn_ai's API - with the same E2EE privacy, in-house hardwa

@Bankless @YanLiberman @TrustlessState @AskVenice lmao, what level of bitboy shit is this They re-sell private inference endpoints from phala, at a 200% mark-up You can literally buy direct from phala, or from platforms like @imgn_ai which don't gouge you AND build their own models

$diem is just a lunc-style compute ponzi, which already has about $14mil/yr in liabilities. Equity holders would lose their shit if the company increased that risk. I imagine diem will lose use-case over time now that private equity is involved; they don’t want crypto plebs running up bills on them. My guess is they’ll continue to increase mark-ups and margins on models which are popular with diem holders, letting them offset the liabilities without literally having to change the underlying $

@jonathankingvc @cbventures @ErikVoorhees @jesseproudman @AskVenice oh, THAT's why you kept glazing and shilling Venice just for running an openrouter wrapper and tacking on a 50%+ mark-up lmao I thought you guys actually liked it good job on helping throw more token holders under the bus! https://t.co/1P7o6fOtA2
