Venice: Uncensored

A Dolphin finetune, the long-running project for stripping the assistant persona and most refusals out of a base model. This one is built on Mistral and tuned by Venice. Served through Redline on one OpenAI-compatible endpoint, priced at $0.230 in and $1.04 out per million tokens.

What the uncensored tag actually means

cognitivecomputations/dolphin-mistral-24b-venice-edition is tagged uncensored, which here means a loosely aligned finetune. It refuses far less than a frontier instruct model, but it is not abliterated: the refusal behaviour was reduced by training, not surgically removed, so it can still decline. Nothing about the tag promises it will answer anything.

In Claude Code

No tool calling This model does not advertise tool calling, so it cannot drive an agent like Claude Code that needs to edit files or run commands. A tool request to it returns a 400 that names the model and costs nothing. Use it for chat and generation through the OpenAI-compatible endpoint below.

FAQ

What does the uncensored tag mean?

Uncensored here means a loosely aligned finetune that refuses much less than a frontier model, but can still decline. It is not the same as abliterated.

Does Venice: Uncensored store my prompts?

No. Redline stores the model id, token counts and cost, not the prompt or completion, and returns a signed receipt of the prompt hash.

How much does it cost?

$0.230 per million input tokens and $1.04 per million output tokens, margin already included.
