Leaving Venice AI? Uncensored AI models instead
If you are here because Venice AI stopped mid-answer, the thing you want is uncensored models with a hard per-key spend ceiling rather than an account-level balance. Wild West API carries 5 such models on one OpenAI-compatible endpoint.
What Venice AI is, and where it stops
It is a genuine peer rather than something to escape, and the honest difference is the spend control rather than the models.
Other options people compare with Venice AI
| Option | What it is |
|---|---|
| OpenRouter | A router over many providers: one key and one bill for hundreds of models, each served under its provider's policy. |
| Featherless | Flat monthly subscription over tens of thousands of open Hugging Face models, hundreds of them abliterated or uncensored, hosted by Featherless itself. |
| Together AI | Large catalogue of mainstream open-weight models, per token on serverless or on dedicated endpoints, plus fine-tuning. |
Weighing the two directly? Wild West API vs Venice API puts pricing, endpoints, spend caps and model policy side by side, checked against Venice API's own site.
What Wild West API carries instead
Wild West API sells 5 uncensored models on one OpenAI-compatible endpoint, every one able to call tools. Ordered for this particular job rather than by a single ranking: Outlaw 1 Xploded leads because it is the cheapest of the set on output at $1.00 per million tokens.

Switching takes one base URL
Anything that speaks the OpenAI chat completions format works unchanged. Point it here, use a Wild West API key, and name the model from the table.
curl https://wildwestapi.com/v1/chat/completions \ -H "Authorization: Bearer sk-ww-..." \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "model": "outlaw-1-xploded", "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}] }'
FAQ
Is Wild West API actually uncensored, or does it just say so?
Wild West API does not moderate requests. It prices the call, holds the money against your key cap and passes the request to the model. What comes back is whatever that model does: an uncensored build refuses far less than a frontier model but can still decline, and only an abliterated build has the refusal direction removed outright. Neither tag is a promise that any given answer will arrive.
What does it cost compared with Venice AI?
You pay per token at the rates in the table above, with no subscription. $0.300 in and $1.00 out per million tokens for Outlaw 1 Xploded.
Can I cap what a key is allowed to spend?
Yes, and the cap is enforced before the request goes upstream rather than reconciled afterwards. The reply cannot physically cost more than the hold placed before it was sent.
Will it work with my existing client?
If the client takes an OpenAI-compatible base URL, yes: point it at https://wildwestapi.com/v1 with a Wild West API key. Claude Code and the Anthropic SDKs use the Anthropic format, which is served too.
