February 2026 Summaries

Venice has expanded its platform by introducing the complete Kling video model suite, which includes eight new models designed for professional-grade AI video generation. The suite is divided into two families, Kling O3 and Kling V3, with each offering Pro and Standard tiers for text-to-video and image-to-video conversions. These models support features such as generating videos up to 15 seconds long, synchronized audio, customizable end-frame transitions, and multiple aspect ratios to suit various platforms. The Pro models provide higher visual quality and are better suited for complex prompts and final production work, while the Standard models offer faster generation times and are more cost-effective for simpler scenes. The suite's capabilities are demonstrated in examples like athletic motion handling, detailed underwater scenes, dynamic action sequences, and portrait animation. The Kling suite is now available for all Venice users at venice.ai.

Venice has introduced official skills on OpenClaw, enabling the creation of private AI agents that have access to over 30 models, web search, audio, and media generation without any data retention. The Venice-ai Skill includes features such as text and audio capabilities, uncensored models, built-in web search with citations, text-to-speech with over 60 voices, audio transcription, and embeddings for RAG applications, all compatible with OpenAI for easy integration. The venice-ai-media Skill adds visual capabilities including image generation, video transformations, and AI editing, with a pricing model starting at $0.01 per image and $0.10 per video, and no content restrictions. Setting up involves obtaining a Venice API key, configuring the OpenClaw agent with Venice skills, and leveraging the platform's full capabilities with privacy as a default feature and no data logs or metadata retention.
