    Venice currently processes around 15,000 inference requests every hour, showcasing its growing popularity.

    DeepSeek Privacy Concerns Addressed

    While Venice AI is gaining attention, the crypto community is also watching DeepSeek, an AI project that has shaken up the US AI market with its low-GPU, cost-effective AI model. However, DeepSeekโ€™s data handling, particularly its Chinese connections, has raised concerns.

    To address this, Voorhees assured the public that when DeepSeek R-1 is accessed through Venice, no data is at risk of being stolen. Veniceโ€™s strong privacy measures help reassure users and protect their information.

    The launch of Venice Token highlights how the worlds of cryptocurrency and AI are coming together to drive innovation.
