Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00307 | $0.00307 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00123 | $0.00123 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00061 | $0.00061 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00031 | $0.00031 |
Grade A, and why
skills AGENTS.md scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.
2. Treat its endpoint tables, params, and curl/SDK examples as the source of truth. What it actually says
Agent guide — venice-skills
This repo is the authoritative Venice API reference, kept in sync with the Venice OpenAPI spec. When you build anything that touches the Venice API — guides, code samples, sandboxes, scripts — load the relevant skill instead of guessing endpoints, params, or model slugs.
Read this first
README.md— the full skill catalog and how the format works.skills/<name>/SKILL.md— one self-contained reference per API surface (auth, chat, image, video, audio, embeddings, billing, errors, etc.).
How to use
- Pick the skill matching the surface you're documenting (e.g.
venice-image-generate,venice-video,venice-chat,venice-text-routing). - Treat its endpoint tables, params, and curl/SDK examples as the source of truth.
- If a skill looks stale vs. the live API, flag it — don't invent.
scripts/sync_from_swagger.pychecks for drift against the spec.
Authoring
New skill? Copy template/ to skills/<name>/ and follow CONTRIBUTING.md.
Source of truth: the Venice OpenAPI spec + public docs at https://docs.venice.ai. For the broader product/surface picture (every endpoint mapped to user actions), see the sibling

What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
