Two uncensored platforms. One question: which models do you want?
Venice deserves credit: it proved there's a real market for AI without filters, with a privacy-first, local-storage design. If you've used it, you already know the philosophy — we share it. The differences are about scope, not values.
OpenRogue's bet is bigger on model choice: not just uncensored open models (we run the Dolphin Venice edition itself, plus Hermes 3 405B, WizardLM-2, Magnum) but frontier GPT-class, Claude-class and Gemini-class models in the same dropdown — with synced history, projects with custom instructions, vision, and a Thinking mode for hard problems.

Choose OpenRogue if you want the biggest uncensored model — Hermes 3 405B — plus frontier models, synced history across devices, projects, and Thinking mode in one subscription.
Choose Venice if local-only storage is your hard requirement, or if built-in uncensored image generation matters more to you than model breadth.
Model scope and sync. Venice focuses on open models with local-first privacy. OpenRogue runs the uncensored open lineup plus frontier GPT/Claude/Gemini-class models, with account-synced history you can export or delete anytime.
Yes — Dolphin Mistral 24B Venice Edition is OpenRogue's free default model, with a 20-message daily free tier.
OpenRogue's RP-specific lineup — Magnum v4 72B, Euryale 70B, Rocinante 12B — is the differentiator, along with 131K-context models for very long sessions.
