Erik and Venice spend much of their time pursuing "tokens"
We at PPQ instead think about UI/UX and new and usable products.
Today, despite having vastly fewer resources than Venice, we offer more and better features than Venice does.
No distractions.

I don’t agree with your statement, the tokens are only a feature for people in DEFI and a structure for devs using API.
What I like about them it’s their privacy policies. They run their own llm (the ones that are free) to make your prompts completely private and they make your prompts anonymous for the centralized ones.
How does PPQ manage the prompts sent to LLM? Are they simply shipped or there are ways to preserve privacy?
Do they run their own LLM now? Earlier in 2025 they seemed to be getting called out for misleading marketing statements. I don't want to get too deep into the mud on this but here's a thread of criticism of the way they do some things... but perhaps they've changed since then?

To answer your question, we simply ship user prompts to providers. We do so in an aggregated way so that all user prompts are bundled into one "super user" PPQ account. You gain some privacy doing it this way as compared to connecting your credit card to some provider directly. We aren't promising ultra privacy or making insinuations that might mislead folks as some others out there tend to do.
I think you are right about Venice. My recollection is that they say the privacy comes from their proxy servers.
Bottom line I believe that you serve the same concept as they do.
It would be nice to have this kind of info in your FAQ.
You do have a great Product. Thanks for the heads up. This sounds like the next big short. Fuck em for sure im gone find the loophole
