Venice Models

Three read-only endpoints for model discovery — all GET:

All three take an optional ?type= filter: text, image, video, music, tts, asr, embedding, upscale, inpaint, all, code.

All three are authenticated (Bearer API key or x402 SIWE) like every other /api/v1 route.

Use when

• You need to pick a model at runtime based on capabilities (vision, reasoning, function calling, E2EE, X search, multi-image, …).
• You need to validate a request against a model's constraints (prompt length, aspect ratio, resolution, steps).
• You need the current price per million tokens / per image / per second / per 1k chars to build a cost estimate.
• You want to resolve a user-friendly trait name (e.g. default, default_reasoning, highest_quality) or a frontier-style ID (openai-gpt-54-pro, claude-opus-4-7) to a concrete Venice model ID.
