Venice has started offering API access for all Pro account users. I have tried and it works with Continue in VS Code (to some extent, only the chat interface) and also with Open-WebUI. HOWTOs for both here:
The API is throttled, but otherwise unlimited. I am still offering lifetime pro accounts here:
So for one time payment, you get LLaMA-3.1-405B chat model, image generation, and you can use it from your apps via an API.
Of course, you can get a normal subscription too, I think that the lifetime account is just a bit of a better deal, it is currently one of the most affordable ways how to use AI.
Venice also has uncensored models (both text and image generation).
