Feedback Needed | SFW False Positives in Seedance 2.0

Hey everyone,

the team would like to gather some feedback from you to improve Seedance 2.0's content filtering and need your help identifying SFW content thats being incorrectly refused by the model (false positives).

We're looking for:

  • Images and prompts that are genuinely SFW but got refused
  • Clear examples we can reproduce and share with ByteDance

What we're NOT looking for:

  • NSFW content of any kind or its refusal
  • Private or sensitive images

if you've had SFW content flagged incorrectly, please share the image and prompt here.

the team will use these examples to identify patterns and work with ByteDance on reducing future false positives.

IMPORTANT FOR THOSE AT THE BACK:

WE ARE NOT LOOKING FOR NSFW CONTENT THAT HAD REFUSALS!

Venice.ai Bug Bounty Program

Our bug bounty program provides a structured way for security researchers to report vulnerabilities and earn rewards.

https://i.redd.it/je8h0nlv691h1.gif

How the Program Works

  • Discover
    • Find a security vulnerability in a Venice product within scope.
  • Document
    • Create a detailed report with proof of concept and reproduction steps.
  • Report
    • Submit your findings through our secure reporting form.
  • Get Rewarded
    • Eligible bounty rewards are paid in VVV and/or USDC at Venice's discretion.

Rewards
Eligible bounty rewards are paid in VVV and/or USDC at Venice's discretion. Reward amounts below are denominated in VVV; Venice may pay an equivalent amount in USDC. Rewards are based on demonstrated impact, exploitability, novelty, reproducibility, and report quality.

Low - Starts at 25 VVV
Minor but real security issues with clear reproduction, such as limited information disclosure or low-risk configuration gaps with demonstrated impact.

Medium - Starts at 50 VVV
Contained vulnerabilities with demonstrated impact, such as limited stored XSS, narrow authorization gaps, or abuse paths affecting a small set of users.

High - Starts at 250 VVV
Significant vulnerabilities affecting account security, authorization boundaries, billing integrity, or user data.

Critical - Case-by-case, scaled to impact
Severe, novel vulnerabilities with broad user impact, such as authentication bypass, remote code execution, sensitive data exposure at scale, or VVV smart contract compromise.

Scope

Report Requirements
All submissions must include a clear proof of concept, exact reproduction steps, and a description of the security impact.

Proof of Concept
Demonstrate actual exploitation with video, screenshots, or exact reproduction steps. Exceptions apply for self-evident issues like certificate problems.

Specific to Our Environment
Show the vulnerability exists in our actual application, not theoretical scenarios. Generic scanner output without validation is not eligible for rewards.

Based on Your Testing
AI-assisted reports are acceptable only if they are personally validated and reproducible. Unverified AI-generated reports will be rejected.

How to submit report?
You can submit your bug report here.

__________________

^(FAQ)
^(Who is eligible to participate?)
^(Anyone can participate in the Venice Bug Bounty Program. You must be at least 18 years old or have parental consent. Participants must comply with all applicable laws and these program rules.)

^(How are rewards determined?)
^(Rewards are determined by Venice based on severity, impact, exploitability, novelty, reproducibility, and report quality. Eligible bounty rewards are paid in VVV and/or USDC at Venice's discretion. Small valid reports typically start at 25 VVV, with larger rewards considered for higher-impact vulnerabilities.)

^(What makes a good report?)
^(A good report includes a clear title, exact reproduction steps, proof of concept, the affected Venice product or endpoint, expected versus actual behaviour, security impact, and any relevant screenshots, videos, commands, or request/response details. The more complete and reproducible your report is, the faster we can validate it.)

^(How long does the review process take?)
^(We review submissions as quickly as practical. Complex reports, duplicates, third-party issues, and reports requiring additional validation may take longer.)

^(Can I share my report publicly?)
^(No. Do not publicly disclose, discuss, or publish a vulnerability report without written approval from Venice. If public disclosure is appropriate, we will coordinate timing and credit with you after the issue has been resolved.)

^(What if my report is a duplicate?)
^(If another researcher has already reported the same vulnerability, the reward goes to the first valid report. Reports may also be closed without reward if they are already known issues, accepted risks, theoretical findings without demonstrated impact, third-party issues outside Venice's control, automated scanner output without validation, or AI-generated reports that have not been personally verified.)

^(How are rewards paid?)
^(Bounty rewards are paid in VVV and/or USDC on Base, at Venice's discretion. If your report is eligible for a bounty, we will ask you for a wallet address that can receive Base network assets. Please do not include wallet addresses, private keys, seed phrases, or sensitive payment information in your initial report. Helpful reports that do not qualify for a bounty may receive Venice Credits or a Venice Pro subscription at Venice's discretion.)

Crypto RPC for Agents | Give your AI agent inference and on-chain access

Venice gives your agent both inference (230+ models) and blockchain access (10 EVM chains plus Starknet) through a single credential. Your agent can think, sign, and send transactions without juggling separate accounts for inference and RPC providers.

One credential, two superpowers
A single API key (or wallet) for both LLM inference and JSON-RPC calls.

11 chains supported
Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, Linea, Avalanche, BSC, Blast, zkSync Era, and Starknet (mainnet plus testnets).

Stake VVV for headless funding
Stake VVV on Base to earn daily DIEM, the only fully headless funding path for a minted API key. USD and crypto top-ups are also available through the dashboard.

Keyless auth via x402. Agents can authenticate with a wallet signature and pay in USDC on Base.

Why Venice for on-chain agents?

Capability What your agent gets
Inference Authentication 230+ text, image, video, audio, and embedding models through one OpenAI-compatible endpoint
Crypto RPC JSON-RPC 2.0 proxy to 10 EVM chains plus Starknet (mainnet and testnets)
Authentication Standard API key or x402 wallet auth (no Venice account required)
Funding Autonomous: VVV staking for daily DIEM. Browser: USD or crypto top-ups via the dashboard
Batching Up to 100 JSON-RPC calls per request, multi-chain in parallel
Idempotency Safe retries with Idempotency-Key header

Authentication
Pick the auth method that matches how your agent runs.

Method Best for How it works
API key Server-side agents, fixed deployments Authorization: Bearer <key> header. Get a key at venice.ai/settings/api.
x402 wallet Autonomous, crypto-native, or short-lived agents Wallet signs a SIWE message, pays per request in USDC on Base. No Venice account needed. See the x402 guide.

^(Both methods share the same rate limits and billing in Venice credits.)

>Truly autonomous agents can mint their own API key by staking VVV on Base.
See Autonomous Agent API Key Creation.

Crypto RPC quickstart

Send any JSON-RPC 2.0 method to POST /crypto/rpc/{network}.

Large 4x trace_replayBlockTransactions, trace_replayTransaction, txpool_content

^(Full list and pricing detail in the) ^(Crypto RPC API reference)^(.)

Agent recipes
Common patterns for AI agents that need to read and write on-chain.

Read a wallet’s native balance

curl https://api.venice.ai/api/v1/crypto/rpc/base-mainnet \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $VENICE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "method": "eth_getBalance",
    "params": ["0xYourWalletAddress", "latest"],
    "id": 1
  }'

Read ERC-20 token balance

Call the balanceOf(address) selector with eth_call. The data field is the 4-byte selector (0x70a08231) followed by the wallet address left-padded to 32 bytes. Easiest to let a library encode it:

import { encodeFunctionData, parseAbi } from 'viem'

const data = encodeFunctionData({
  abi: parseAbi(['function balanceOf(address) view returns (uint256)']),
  args: ['0xWalletAddress'],
})

const response = await fetch('https://api.venice.ai/api/v1/crypto/rpc/base-mainnet', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.VENICE_API_KEY}`,
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    jsonrpc: '2.0',
    method: 'eth_call',
    params: [{ to: '0xacfE6019Ed1A7Dc6f7B508C02d1b04ec88cC21bf', data }, 'latest'],
    id: 1,
  }),
})

The contract address above is VVV on Base. Swap it for any ERC-20 contract.

Send a signed transaction (full lifecycle)
Venice never holds your private keys. The agent gathers tx parameters via RPC reads, signs locally with a library like viem or ethers, then relays the raw hex through Venice.

1. Get the next nonce

curl https://api.venice.ai/api/v1/crypto/rpc/base-mainnet \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $VENICE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_getTransactionCount","params":["0xAgentWallet","pending"],"id":1}'

Use "pending" so back-to-back sends don’t collide.

2. Get gas price

curl https://api.venice.ai/api/v1/crypto/rpc/base-mainnet \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $VENICE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_gasPrice","params":[],"id":1}'

For EIP-1559 chains, prefer eth_feeHistory to compute maxFeePerGas and maxPriorityFeePerGas.

3. Estimate gas

curl https://api.venice.ai/api/v1/crypto/rpc/base-mainnet \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $VENICE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_estimateGas","params":[{"from":"0xAgentWallet","to":"0xRecipient","value":"0x0","data":"0x..."}],"id":1}'

4. Sign locally

import { privateKeyToAccount } from 'viem/accounts'
import { base } from 'viem/chains'

const account = privateKeyToAccount(process.env.AGENT_PRIVATE_KEY)

const signed = await account.signTransaction({
  chainId: base.id,
  nonce,                  // from step 1
  gas,                    // from step 3
  maxFeePerGas,           // from step 2 (fee history)
  maxPriorityFeePerGas,   // from step 2 (fee history)
  to: '0xRecipient',
  value: 0n,
  data: '0x...',
})

5. Submit through Venice

curl https://api.venice.ai/api/v1/crypto/rpc/base-mainnet \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $VENICE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: agent-tx-<id>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_sendRawTransaction","params":["0xSignedHex"],"id":1}'

Always set Idempotency-Key on relays so a network blip can’t double-broadcast.

6. Poll for receipt

curl https://api.venice.ai/api/v1/crypto/rpc/base-mainnet \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $VENICE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_getTransactionReceipt","params":["0xTxHash"],"id":1}'

Poll every few seconds until result is non-null. Check result.status ("0x1" = success).

>Every eth_sendRawTransaction call is logged server-side with the tx hash, network, request ID, and calling user ID. The signed payload itself is not retained. This audit trail exists so compromised keys used for illicit relays can be traced back to the responsible account.

Batch multiple calls (multi-chain portfolio check)

Send up to 100 JSON-RPC objects in one request. Each is validated and billed independently.

curl https://api.venice.ai/api/v1/crypto/rpc/ethereum-mainnet \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $VENICE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '[
    { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "eth_blockNumber", "params": [], "id": 1 },
    { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "eth_getBalance", "params": ["0xWallet", "latest"], "id": 2 },
    { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "eth_gasPrice", "params": [], "id": 3 }
  ]'

For multi-chain reads (one call per chain), issue parallel requests to different {network} endpoints.

Safe retries with idempotency
Set the Idempotency-Key header to any string matching [A-Za-z0-9_-]{1,255}. Venice caches the response for 24 hours keyed on (user, key). Replays return the cached result with Idempotent-Replayed: true and charge nothing.

curl https://api.venice.ai/api/v1/crypto/rpc/base-mainnet \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $VENICE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: agent-tx-2026-04-21-001" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "method": "eth_sendRawTransaction",
    "params": ["0xSignedRawTxHex"],
    "id": 1
  }'

This is critical for transaction relays where a network blip could otherwise cause your agent to broadcast the same tx twice.

Funding the agent’s API key
Once the agent has a Venice API key, it needs spendable balance on the underlying account before paid endpoints will accept the key. There are two ways to put balance there:

Path Autonomous? How it works
DIEM from VVV staking Yes Stake VVV in the Venice Staking Smart Contract on Base. The wallet’s daily DIEM allocation is proportional to its share of the staking pool. The account needs at least 0.1 DIEM accrued before any DIEM is spendable. DIEM refreshes at 00:00 UTC. To grow daily spend, stake more VVV.
USD or crypto top-up via the dashboard No (browser) Sign into venice.ai with the same wallet (Sign-In-With-Ethereum), then add credits in Settings, API. Both Stripe (card) and Coinbase (crypto) live behind that page and require a browser. Credits never expire.

For an agent that runs unattended, DIEM via VVV staking is the only fully headless funding path for a minted API key today. If the agent’s daily spend exceeds its DIEM allocation, the realistic options are: stake more VVV, or have an operator sign in and top up in USD or crypto.

Autonomous VVV staking and key generation
A truly autonomous agent can manage its own VVV wallet on Base, stake it, and mint its own Venice API key with no human in the loop. The full flow:

1. Acquire VVV and ETH for gas

Send VVV to the agent’s wallet (or have the agent swap on Aerodrome or Uniswap), plus a small amount of ETH on Base for the two staking transactions.

2. Stake VVV

approve the staking contract on the VVV token, then stake(amount) on 0x321b7ff75154472B18EDb199033fF4D116F340Ff. The wallet’s sVVV balance updates atomically with the stake.

3. Mint an API key

GET /api/v1/api_keys/generate_web3_key returns a JWT that expires 15 minutes after issuance. Sign the raw token with the staking wallet, then POST the address, signature, and token back. Venice returns an API key bound to the user account derived from that wallet.

Minting only requires a non-zero sVVV balance, so 1 staked VVV is enough to receive a key. Spending with the key is a separate question, governed by the funding table above.

See Autonomous Agent API Key Creation for the complete walkthrough with code and the full error reference.

x402 wallet auth in 30 seconds
If your agent already has a Base wallet, skip the API key entirely. The venice-x402-client SDK handles SIWE signing, top-ups, and balance tracking.

npm install venice-x402-client



import { VeniceClient } from 'venice-x402-client'

const venice = new VeniceClient(process.env.WALLET_KEY)

await venice.topUp(10) // skip if the wallet already has balance

const response = await venice.chat({
  model: 'kimi-k2-6',
  messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'What is the latest block on Base?' }]
})

The same wallet auth works against /crypto/rpc/{network} for blockchain reads and writes. Full protocol details in the x402 guide.

Pricing
Crypto RPC is billed in Venice credits. Each response includes X-Venice-RPC-Credits (credits charged) and X-Venice-RPC-Cost-USD (dollar cost) so your agent can track spend per request.

Base credits per chain

Base credits Chains
20 Ethereum, Base, Optimism, Arbitrum, Polygon, Linea, Avalanche, BSC, Blast, Starknet
30 zkSync Era

Cost examples

Observed pricing for standard, advanced, and large method tiers:

Call Credits USD cost
eth_call on Ethereum (20 × 1x) 20 ~$0.0000140
trace_transaction on Ethereum (20 × 2x) 40 ~$0.0000280
trace_replayTransaction on Ethereum (20 × 4x) 80 ~$0.0000560
eth_call on zkSync (30 × 1x) 30 ~$0.0000210

Always trust the X-Venice-RPC-Cost-USD response header for the authoritative cost. Errored items in batch requests are billed at a flat 5 credits each.

Rate limits

Tier Requests per minute
Standard 100
Staff 1,000

When exceeded, the endpoint returns 429 with standard X-RateLimit-* response headers.

Error handling

Common HTTP responses your agent should handle:

Status Meaning What to do
400 Unsupported or unmapped JSON-RPC method, or malformed batch Verify the method against the allowlist. The error body names the offending method.
400 Replay of an Idempotency-Key with a different body Use a fresh key for distinct requests.
402 No auth header at all (response body includes authOptions listing both supported auth paths), or out of credits with a valid auth header If no auth: attach Authorization: Bearer ... or the x402 X-Sign-In-With-X header. If out of credits: with a Bearer key, fund the account (DIEM, USD, or dashboard top-up); with x402 auth, call POST /api/v1/x402/top-up directly.
429 Rate limit hit (100 req/min standard, 1,000 req/min staff) Honor X-RateLimit-Reset and back off. Batch up to 100 calls per request to amortize the limit.
5xx Upstream RPC node hiccup Retry with the same Idempotency-Key to avoid double-charging.

Per-item batch errors (e.g. invalid params on one of N calls) come back inside a 200 OK response with a JSON-RPC error field on the offending item. Those items are billed at a flat 5 credits each.

Not supported
These categories of methods are intentionally rejected:

  • WebSocket-only (eth_subscribe, eth_unsubscribe): the proxy is HTTP-only. Poll instead.
  • Stateful filters (eth_newFilter, eth_getFilterChanges, etc.): filter state is pinned to a single backend and breaks on a load-balanced proxy. Use eth_getLogs instead.
  • Key-holding methods (eth_sign, eth_accounts, eth_mining): hosted providers don’t hold user keys. Sign client-side and submit via eth_sendRawTransaction.
  • Unmapped methods: anything not allowlisted returns 400. Contact support to request additions.

Venice.ai partners with StrikeRobot.ai

Venice has partnered with StrikeRobot.ai to become the primary inference API backend for their robotics products. This is Venice's first major step into robotics.

https://i.redd.it/hvpxwz2trmzg1.gif

Venice as the VLM reasoning engine inside SR Agentic:

  • Handles vision-language understanding, reasoning across complex environments, and natural-language reporting
  • Uses Venice's OpenAI-compatible API
  • Fast edge loop stays on-device (sub-200ms)
  • Paid clients get private inference and Base-settled audit logs

Venice as the inference API powering SR Platform:

  • Drives both Text-to-CAD and Image-to-CAD environment generation
  • Describe an environment or drop in a reference image - Venice handles the inference that feeds the 3D pipeline into Isaac Lab and MuJoCo

SR Agentic is B2B, but SR Platform v2 is being built for public use on Base. They're integrating Microsoft's TRELLIS.2 (4B-parameter image-to-3D model) directly into the asset pipeline.

Holders of $SR and $VVV get:

  • Free access to co-training with the team
  • Eligibility for an $SR reward pool for quality contributions
  • A way to help finetune the framework with real-world deviation/anomaly data

SR Platform waitlist is open at strikerobot.ai/sr-platform

Using the agentic chat on Venice, we can do everything on the platform without the need for any external LLM or agent subscriptions.

https://reddit.com/link/1t5djy2/video/gtag8zzosizg1/player

How?

https://preview.redd.it/ii55fbpssizg1.png?width=4096&format=png&auto=webp&s=c310da570e4b40183d612d9a8caf980655e40347

1. Go to Venice to use the Agentic Chat function.

https://preview.redd.it/1rahcyrysizg1.jpg?width=612&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b3b50032b95c56bbb22a3d202d5d25fcd6ba8c40

2. Drop in this file containing the prompt template and the image you want to animate.
This is the image I used for this particular video & effect.

3. Tell the agent exactly what you want to see:
"Following the instructions on this document, write me a 15-second prompt that describes this model smoking her cigarette, she exhales the smoke and lies back on the hood of the car. Her body melts into the paint of the car, as she transforms into a beautiful mural."

4. Then we copy our prompt. We take our image into Venice Studio, where we select the Seedance 2.0 R2V model (Reference 2 Video).

Select your time, aspect ratio, and resolution.

VVV - The Privacy Coin for AI
Venice is the leading platform for private and uncensored AI and VVV is the foundational asset of Venice, built to power a programmable AI economy. You can stake VVV to earn yield, and you can lock your staked VVV (sVVV) to mint DIEM, then stake DIEM for $1 per day of API credit per token.

DIEM makes AI compute ownable, tradeable, and transferable, so capacity can move between agents, bots, and applications or be monetized without selling your VVV.

VVV is the foundation of the Venice market, and DIEM is its unit of compute.

Buy > Stake > Mint

VVV is the capital asset of Venice
VVV is a crypto token on Ethereum's Base blockchain and among the top 1% of popular tokens on Coinbase.

By buying and staking VVV you can earn yield, get access to Venice Pro, mint DIEM, and be part of the platform pushing the frontier of unrestricted intelligence.

Monthly VVV Burn

Starting Nov 2025, Venice uses a portion of monthly revenue to buy and burn the VVV token on an ongoing basis.

You can track the monthly burns directly through your token dashboard.

VVV Tokenomics

VVV launched on January 27th 2025 with a starting supply of 100M tokens. 
Up-to-date supply numbers here.

VVV is engineered as a long-term deflationary capital asset of the Venice AI platform. As Venice scales, VVV becomes more scarce.

We are continually reducing emissions and in December 2025, Venice started buying VVV from the market with a portion of revenue and burning it every month - permanently removing tokens from circulation.

This creates a powerful feedback loop:
More Revenue → More Buy & Burns → Less Supply → Deflationary VVV

Claude Code is Anthropic’s CLI tool for agentic coding.

This guide shows you how to run it through Venice AI for pay-per-token access to Claude Opus 4.6/4.7 and Claude Sonnet.

https://preview.redd.it/vbp34qb5n6zg1.png?width=1280&format=png&auto=webp&s=62a13685671c34a33f3c489c7f44fcd7252a81fc

Why You Need a Router
Claude Code connects directly to Anthropic’s API by default. To use it with Venice, you need claude-code-router, an open-source local proxy that:

Intercepts
Catches Claude Code’s outgoing requests before they reach Anthropic

Transforms
Converts request format and maps model IDs (e.g., claude-opus-4-5)

Redirects Forwards requests to Venice at api.venice.ai/api/v1/chat/completions

Setup

1. Install Claude Code

If you haven’t already, install Anthropic’s Claude Code CLI:

npm install -g /claude-code

2. Install the Router

npm install -g u/musistudio/claude-code-router

3. Get Your API Key

Generate a key from venice.ai/settings/api. You’ll paste it directly in the config file in the next step.

4. Create Configuration

Create the config directory:

mkdir -p ~/.claude-code-router

Then create ~/.claude-code-router/config.json with your preferred editor:

# Using nano
nano ~/.claude-code-router/config.json

# Or using VS Code
code ~/.claude-code-router/config.json

Paste the following configuration:

{
  "APIKEY": "",
  "LOG": true,
  "LOG_LEVEL": "info",
  "API_TIMEOUT_MS": 600000,
  "HOST": "127.0.0.1",
  "Providers": [
    {
      "name": "venice",
      "api_base_url": "https://api.venice.ai/api/v1/chat/completions",
      "api_key": "your-venice-api-key-here",
      "models": [
        "claude-opus-4-5",
        "claude-sonnet-4-5",
        "claude-opus-4-6",
        "claude-opus-4-6-fast",
        "claude-opus-4-6",
        "claude-opus-4-7",
        "claude-sonnet-4-6"
      ],
      "transformer": {
        "use": ["anthropic"]
      }
    }
  ],
  "Router": {
    "default": "venice,claude-opus-4-7",
    "think": "venice,claude-opus-4-7",
    "background": "venice,claude-opus-4-7",
    "longContext": "venice,claude-opus-4-7",
    "longContextThreshold": 100000
  }
}

^(🛈) ^(If you modify config.json while the router is running, restart it with ccr restart to apply changes.)

5. Launch

Start the router, then Claude Code:

ccr start
ccr code

Or use the activation method:

eval "$(ccr activate)" && claude

Supported Models

Model Venice ID Best For
Claude Opus 4.5 claude-opus-4-5 Complex reasoning, large refactors
Claude Sonnet 4.5 claude-sonnet-4-5 Fast iteration, everyday coding
Claude Opus 4.6 claude-opus-4-6 Complex reasoning, large refactors
Claude Opus 4.6 Fast claude-opus-4-6-fast Complex reasoning with lower latency
Claude Sonnet 4.6 claude-sonnet-4-6
Claude Opus 4.7 claude-opus-4-7 Complex reasoning, large refactors

^(🛈 Claude Code is optimized for Claude models. While other models available through Venice) ^((GPT, DeepSeek, Grok, etc.)****) ^(may work, we cannot guarantee an equivalent experience since Claude Code relies on Claude-specific features like extended thinking. For other models, consider using Venice’s) ^(standard API)^(.)

· · • • • ✤ • • • · ·

Router Features
The router provides several useful features beyond basic routing:

  • Switch models on the fly
    • Use the /model command inside Claude Code to switch models without restarting: /model venice,claude-sonnet-4-6
    • ^(Useful when you want Opus for complex tasks and Sonnet for quick iterations.)
  • Visual configuration with UI mode
    • Prefer a GUI? Launch the web-based config editor: ccr ui
    • ^(This opens a browser interface for editing your config.json without touching the file directly.)
  • Router scenarios explained
    • The Router config section controls which model handles different task types:
Scenario When it’s used
default General requests
think Reasoning-heavy tasks (Plan Mode)
background Background operations
longContext When context exceeds longContextThreshold tokens

You can route different scenarios to different models. For example, use Sonnet for background tasks to save costs.

  • Debugging with logs
    • If something isn’t working, check the logs:
      • Server logs (HTTP, API calls): ~/.claude-code-router/logs/ccr-*.log
      • Application logs (routing decisions): ~/.claude-code-router/claude-code-router.log

Set "LOG_LEVEL": "debug" in your config for more verbose output.

Caching Behaviour

Scenario Cache TTL Who Controls
Default (recommended) 5 minutes Claude Code + Venice
With cleancache transformer 1 hour Venice only

When NOT to use cleancache (most users)

The default configuration lets both systems cooperate:

  • Claude Code sends its native cache_control markers
  • Venice adds caching around them with a 5-minute TTL
  • Both systems share the 4-block cache limit

This works well for active coding sessions where you’re making frequent requests.

When to use cleancache

Add cleancache to the transformer if you:

  • Are hitting the 4-block cache limit errors
  • Experience strange caching behavior
  • Prefer Venice’s 1-hour TTL for longer sessions"transformer": { "use": ["anthropic", "cleancache"] }

This strips Claude Code’s cache markers, giving Venice full control with a longer TTL.
